Okay, this Yankee just saw the prices on the Lilly website...I take back everything I said about being happy we're getting a print!

So one of my sisters told me today that Lilly was going to change Alpha Phi's print entirely because Phi Mu now has a print. I was looking on the Lilly website but haven't seen anything about it, other than there not being options for the bag and scarf. Does it make sense to people to do this?

I doubt it since apparently the process of designing the prints includes approval from the inter/national organizations for which the prints are being made. If APhi approved the design, I doubt Lilly is going to go through the process again. Also, just because there is pink in the print doesn't mean there is any more overlap in the symbols you'd see.

I haven't seen this posted, but the prints will be revealed sometime in February with items available for order in time for Fall recruitment.

Love the prints for Kappa, DZ, APhi.
Wouldn't go as far as to say I dislike any of the others but I think they could have done a better job for DG and Theta. Not that these aren't nice, just that there was so much more potential for both. (more black with golden stars and kites perhaps, or bronze anchors and cream roses for DG)

For some reason I violently dislike DZ's print. It looks like a 50s sofa or curtain to me. But I like-love most of the others.

Looking forward to it, though I still can't wait for Theta Phi Alpha's future print!!

I was wondering when this was happening. They'd projected a release in late Feb.

I was just talking to a friend about this, wondering when the prints would be coming out. I'm assuming they mean 4pm Eastern time?

I kind of wish our sheaf stood out more in the AOII print, but hey, they included it!

ETA: Did they misspell "Soeurs" on the Phi Mu print?

DeltaBetaBaby · #12 03-02-2012, 05:09 PM

love the AZD and the AOPi, hate the Pi Phi, and meh on SK and Phi Mu.

angels&angles · #13 03-02-2012, 05:20 PM

All of them left me feeling only so-so. I don't really mind the Pi Phi print, and will probably buy a scarf, but it's only ehh (although it could have been so, so, so much worse -- ugh, there are some really horrible angel-themed things out there). I do like that the background blue (which is more sky than silver, unfortunately) is made up of arrows and our letters.

I like AOII & SK best, all the others are only so-so, and none are as bad as DZ or Theta (in my opinion).

DubaiSis · #14 03-02-2012, 05:22 PM

I thought the AOII rocked and the SK is cute. The colors may be off, but they can't be as far off as the A Xi D one was! (blue green, really?) But I suppose they do have to work within their color palette, not just accommodate the sororities. I think the SK one could actually be used for apparel (not that it will be), the others not so much. And I hated the Pi Phi one, which is a surprise. It's pretty easy to make their symbols super cute and current.

Will I order a clutch or something with our print? I guess I'd like to see them in real life, as I thought the colors were pretty barfy on all of them except AOII.

Oh, right, now that I think of AXiD's colors, I don't like it nearly as much. That was my problem with Pi Phi, too...I think they could have made better use of the maroon, and instead, they pastel-ize everything.
