I also think this is funny because I have a friend who has almost the exact same necklace. And he's not an Iota.

oh no! this isnot cool at all!

^^^ I have a feeling that APO is gonna give me problems if I try to introduce a new vendor. We also only have one -- and he's a brother -- but I just don't like his stuff that much.

OOOOKAYYYY!!!!

LMAO!!!!

And the AKAs are not alone. If you look in their store, the Alphas, the Sigma Gamma Rhos and the Grooves also have pimp cups.

I wish you weren't a hater, jitterbug!

LOL! As a matter of fact, I'm on your website clicking on para websites.

But they could at least put some gold somewhere on the pimp cup.

I need to update that site -- a LOT of companies seem to have closed in the past year!

[jitterbug13]

It also seem like some of them have merged with other companies. Your site has been a big help the last few days.

I'm still looking for one of those tailgating/picnic chairs with the fraternities/sororities. Someone was selling them during Regional Convention and I don't know the company's name. Greek Gear sells them in black, but the ones I saw were in the fraternity/sorority colors. If you can help a soror/sistergreek out it will be greatly appreciated!

Is there any way that you can find out what vendors were at the Regional Conference? I assume it was a licensed vendor so the contact info should be on our National website.

[jitterbug13]

I remember some by name (the ones who are usually at our conferences), but I don't remember this one. And a lot of our vendors don't have websites.

Jaysis. I remember posting something about a pimp cup a few years ago. Some of these vendors have serious balls.

Members are buying this stuff so I can't blame a vendor for trying to make a buck.

I want to share something that happened to me yesterday that made me sad. I also want to see if anyone else has experienced this.

I went to a para store in another part of the state (DSTRen knows which store I'm talking about). When I started going there almost ten years ago (when I had just joined OPA) there would be tons of stuff there and it would not be common for me to spend more than $100 there. I even when there a few months after I crossed Delta.

A friend and I drove up there yesterday. I was shocked to see how much of their inventory has gone down. The store used to be full of stuff and it wasn't the case anymore. One of the owner's husbands told us that a lot of their suppliers have gone out of business because the fraternities and sororities have been clamping down on the vendors. Just about everything I have bought from this store has been of the best quality and they had unique items that a lot of people didn't have ( I try to get stuff that a lot of people don't have).

Have any of you seen this happen in the greek stores you visited? I hate to see this happen to good stores that have had good customer service and merchandise.
