I know that internationals have to approve the designs, so at least someone in the organization has a say in it.

I would much prefer crowns, strawberries and a nod to Themis than pink ribbons for the ZTA print. Our founders knew nothing of pink ribbons. Yep, I'm old school.

And, it's not like there aren't a gazillion pink ribbon prints out there already.

The majority of the Lilly sorority prints have not done justice to the sorority symbols they are representing, imho.

I think Kappa Delta is my favorite. The Phi Mu one isn't great, but it's about the best I could expect, given our colors/symbols.

I think my favorites are between Pi Phi and Delta Gamma.

I'm also a little afraid of what Lilly may do to AGD... I think this has the potential to be not so attractive.

I must be in the minority, I like my organization's print. I was expecting a lavender and maroon monstrosity with scary doves right out of Hitchcock's The Birds. I was pleasantly surprised.

I really like our print too. I'd like the scarf, but I can't much justify $80 on a scarf. I considered getting the tote for work this school year, but can't really get myself on board with the pepto pink handles and piping. If they'd make one with a more neutral handle and trim, I'd be in!

I love my (Theta) print too. It hasn't been well received on these boards, but I am pleased with the way it turned out.

Some, *cough AzTheta* cough, don't like that they added light blue to our black and gold, but I truly believe that they were creating a beautiful sky background for our soaring kites. In addition, the pansies appear almost cloud-like, resulting in an overall effect that blends all of our symbols and colors into one theme for the print. For me, the effect works well. I also appreciate that our letters are in the print, but in a very subtle manner.

I have the tote bag and the scarf, and get compliments often.

I do understand the frustration of some groups, as there are sorority prints that I think they did well, and others that could have been tweaked a bit.

AHEM.

methinks that Blondie93 wears the print well, given the hair color and dewy complexion. FYI, little sister, I have not caved yet and gotten the tote. I have given wristlets as 21st b'day gifts and they've been ecstatically received.

But the tote has gold sequins on on the handles...lol. Like that makes it better. I am a scarf girl, I have tons of them and wear them at least two or three times a week once the weather gets cool. Otherwise, I wouldn't have gotten one. I wish there were a few more product options like an iPad cover, a zip up bag a little larger than the make up bag, etc.

I don't hate our print - but there are others I like better - Chi Omega's, Delta Gamma's.

I have a theory that it's easier to like other sororities prints better because we're not emotionally attached to the colors and symbols and the meaning behind them.

That said, I lost a lot of love for Ms. Pulitzer and her empire some years back. I read in an interview that she didn't think larger women should her clothing. So, I did her the favor of not spending any of my fat money (same exchange rate as the skinny dollar) to support her.

Wow, if this is true, I am glad I didn't buy!

I have said I will eat my hat if Gamma Phi Beta is chosen - because I just don't see it happening...for some reason we don't measure up to Lilly standards - whatevah....

I think Zeta will be the selection since of the top four left, they are the most 'southern'

I'm guessing it's a Dr. Who reference?

ETA: And I've read it as ADPi Rose EVERY TIME (and could also be a DW reference...)
