On behalf of Seattle, you are all welcome for the utilikilt viewing pleasure. Come here in the summer and you'll see them relatively often; even in the cold rainy winter there are a few brave souls (and bums) who wear them.

Umm Why not a pair of ΧΩ...? You can get a lovely pair of limited edition crystal ΧΩ pumps. You know you want them

Very classy...only $300.
ETA: WTH is Phi Delta anyway? You can't actually buy those shoes.

Did you not see the words Limited Edition? Clearly $300 is a steal for this limited time offer!
I'll be honest- I only looked briefly at the picture (too many sparkles to look directly at without fear of permanent damage), and with the pink & Φ I assumed it said Phi Mu. I was about to comment on how terrible the quatrefoil was! But given their stellar Greek knowledge already called out in this thread, maybe they really did mean ΦΜ

Probably, and they've screwed up everyone else's symbols, so why not their quatrefoil?

I give them credit for being so polite to my snarky note! |
Funny, I got an identical response after asking them to switch them to Kappa Sigma....

These shoes are a MUST for any PNM. Show chapters that you know to walk in their shoes. By a pair for every chapter that you are visiting and wear into the chapter. Have your helicopter Mommy nearby to carry all of the pairs so that you can switch out before each party.
When you are done, you can easily re-sell the pairs for the next set of PNMs!
These are excellent BIG/LITTLE gifts.
***<EVIL GRIN AND LAUGH...RUNS FOR COVER>
SERIOUSLY these are ugly shoes. I would never recommend purchasing these to anyone...

I'm picturing desperate PNMs buying a pair for each chapter on campus, and changing between houses! Oh, the humanity!

I wish we would ALL send them emails correcting them:
"Since when are six stars a symbol for Alpha Phi?"
"AOPi has nothing to do with white roses"
etc,

They could be put in a Rho Chi group based on their shoe size! BRILLIANT.

That would be pretty funny. We'd probably make their heads explode.

I think we should all get on our iPad Minis and demand a design for the Junior League.

So out of curiosity, I checked out the website this evening, and was overjoyed to see all the sorority shoes gone! POOF!
