It didn't go exactly as I anticipated, but ended up as good, if not better. I am planning on typing out the story sometime, but have been pretty busy
I should have clarified, I'm not going out and buying something right now, just looking/getting an idea of a piece of jewelry I may like after being initiated.
I'm not judging my sisters by their jewelry either. There's lots that I've seen in silver, but I prefer gold so that is what I was looking for. I did not intend to sound judgmental.
Thank you all for your responses!

You have not been Greek for 5 minutes and were already making judgments about the sorority jewelry that your sisters wear. As others have stated, your sorority should have information about where to find sorority jewelry. Talk to your chapter sisters or check the sorority's website first.

I wa not making a judgment, I was stating a fact. By cheap-ish I did not mean in a bad way, just that it is regular sterling silver. There's nothing wrong with that. I just have other preferences.
And they directed me to the store that is available through the national site. There is nothing along the lines of what I'm looking for.
You seem to be pretty judgmental to me. I've tried to patiently and humbly sit back while you ridicule me, but this is ridiculous. Any time I ask a simple question I'm basically attacked. I have no idea what I have done to deserve this. If you all don't want new members on here, just say that. I thought that was part of what this site was for, but I was obviously mistaken. Have a great day.

She's just mad because she got called on her thinly veiled attempt to thumb her nose at us because she got a bid while proving to us that she's better than her new "sisters".

Winner winner chicken dinner! It's been clear this chickie was just looking for letters from her first post.

If you don't like sterling and prefer gold, say that. Don't say your sisters have cheap jewelry and thus cheap taste. I have a feeling your new member period is going to be very interesting.

I even know a few people who think yellow gold is tacky and cheap-ish. Just saying.

Gold vs. silver: matter of personal taste.
