WTF. if you can fit all that on a beltbuckle, that is just a mess. maybe im in the wrong region but it really is a no-go.

i proceeded to tell ol boy that he was dead wrong for showing up with some hot mess like that. his response: well, i have 4 SGRho items and i haven't sold not one yet. umm, if you are selling at an SGRho event where we will--ironically--make up the majority of the crowd, how bout you have items you can actually sell?
i think the awesomest part of that exchange was when a seasoned soror (and a well-known/respected one at that) walked past and, without stopping, said "let's not waste our time sorors, he has nothing to offer us" with 7-10 sorors following suit.

he DEFINITELY missed the boat on this one.

Sorhors,

Stick with the Aurora Magazine and get on "For Sorhors only section" of the website to find nice nalia. Also usually at Boule, regionals, area meetings, and the Midwinter meeting for Northeast Region Sorhors the vendors carry nice things.

When I used to go to the Greek Picnic in Philly(80s and early 90s it was called the Greek Picnic) - the vendors were always good to Sigma -I used to come home from Philly with tea shirts, bags, hats, pins, cups, etc for future members.

I've been a Sigma for a while - Yes, I pledged Sigma my freshmen year in the Spr. of 83' and I can truly say that the vendors have come a long way. However, there's always going to be room for improvement but I can't let them hold me down.

My final advice for sorhors: plan ahead, use approved vendors, shop online, but don't spend all of your money on nalia.
