I wonder why? I wonder if our/my organization just has stricter guidelines or what the deal is? There are many things that I see, that other organizations have and that are in good taste, but isn't offered for my organization. One example was those beautiful Christopher Radko sorority ornaments from a few years back. I'm sure the National Organization has their reasons, and I'm sure they are what's best - so I won't argue, but it would be interesting to know how they go about deciding what to lend their name to and such.

I'll keep my fingers crossed that perhaps this one will get through!

I don't think our Nationals are the problem. Why make something that you can only market to 20,000* women, when you can make something you can market to 250,000* women? (*These numbers came out of my ass, I have no idea what "official" counts look like right now) Plus, certain NPCs are ALWAYS going to be seen by certain parts of the country (where Lilly, et al are marketed) as more prestigious than others, and those are the ones that are going to have their letters made.

This totally makes sense; I never realized that some NPC groups get the shaft in terms of product licensing. I've always been able to get the AXO products that I've originally seen made for other sororities. I guess this also explains why Mattel manufactured AKA and DST dolls to celebrate the groups' Centennial Anniversaries. The demand was more concentrated among those two groups than for the 26 NPC groups!
