Zowie, I sure like the "four-year vacation" reference to college. Oh yeah:

"We fully believe that college is your first four-year vacation. And we want you to be wearing Lilly the entire time."

I found this comment to be in extremely poor taste.

I'm a longtime Lilly fan, but I'm also tired of the voting and teasing, and agree that a schedule would be best, perhaps like they did the state quarters. Stuff like this only brings out the worst in people, as evidenced through many of the comments, as the "winners" will cheer and then tell the sororities that didn't get a print that it's not a big deal, and the "losers" will either 1) be openly bitter 2) tell the "winners" it's easy for them to say, because they have the print. While I understand the excitement, I don't think comments like these are great PR for anyone involved.

I think it would be nice if Lilly could create a "Panhellenic" print, maybe with Ivy and green designs, for all sorority women to wear. It's not the same as having your own, of course, but I think it could be great PR for Lilly and allow the sorority members "waiting it out" (since, of course, some collegiate women will take this seriously) to have something.

Now, back to important things, like watching the State of the Union....

I would definitely buy a Panhellenic print! I know they created a limited edition print for the Junior League a few years ago, so it could happen.

I don't like it, and it has turned me off the whole thing. So apparently they lost me, but gained Michigan. I would love to know how the sales track.

I'm just giving you crap. It's funny how the trends change from region to region. I'm sure there will be hype with the Michigan Phi Mus once the pattern is revealed, then it'll die, then again when it's released, and then no one will give a crap. I didn't know who Lilly Pulitzer was until Greekchat!

I can't be alone in thinking that Lilly could interpret Alpha Gam as a Rastafarian chipmunk or double roses with a fern the same color as stop lights. Honestly, I can't envision anything that is going to not make me cringe.

I have the same thought for AOII. Everything we have is red. I'm picturing a fabric that looks like you sopped up blood. Maybe wheat can break up the monotony of red roses and rubies.
