Why did I go to my local greek shop to have something embrodired and took a look around the store to find that the CUTES Afrocentic straw (jute) bags with a afro lady on it with the greek letters on her bandana. I ask the manager if they had any in sgrho she said they don't make them. I was very very upset. This was after I saw a few items in aka and delta that I wanted for sgrho and she said they don't carry sgrho or they don't make them for us. One item I've seen on line for sgrho so I know she won't trying.

I sorry sorors but this is an injustice it make me feel like that we aren't important. I know we small and understand that plays apart business-wise but really if you greek and own a store please rep all the orgs not just the largest ones.

Thoughts

Now I have no choice but to start my own para store one day

I guess I understand what you're saying but I never have problems finding nalia...but maybe that's because of where I live (Philly). Even on the web, I find whatever I want. And also, if you go to a store that doesn't have something for us, then educate the store owner and tell them that if they get more Sigma items, you and your sorors will buy them.

And as far as our org being small, please stop saying that. Sorors can make us sound like one of those BGLO's that's not in the NPHC. Our org is not small with over 85,000 members since inception. It's smaller in comparison to the other NPHC sororities but we are among the largest of greek organizations in this country and there is no reason why a so-called greek store shouldn't carry items for us, so you just have to educate people.

Sorors today have it good. When I was a neo (in the early 90's) it was quite tough for us to find a variety of quality nalia but today I just don't see this problem, especially since we have the internet. All I can tell you is to save your money for Regionals and Boule. That's where the good stuff is.

Sorhor Golddigger,

Listen to Sorhor Ninjapoodle just educate them - don't get up set because there are a lot of vendors that carry enough for all four sororities.

Amen sorhor! I STOCKED UP at regionals last year!!! If you are looking to get good stuff, the trip is a learning experience and an investment.

You are right about the Internet too. I have gotten some really nice stuff from www.somethinggreek.com and ebay.
