SUCH a marketing ploy! And they don't even need it! Girls are going to buy Lilly no matter how many or how few sorority prints they release. This is like holding a treat above a dog's head and yanking it away every time the pooch jumps.

Hoping for Gamma Phi!

The murfette scarf was not worth $88 by any stretch of the imagination. I got it for my daughter for $28 during the sale, and that was about what it's worth, in my opinion. It's cute, but it's very thin fabric, and short.

The two dresses my daughter ordered were both great. We had them shipped to her sorority, and we both laughed at the large number of Lilly packages waiting in the mail room when we moved her in this past weekend! Looks like a lot of sisters took advantage of the sale!

My wife ordered a Kappa scarf during the sale, or at least thought she did. It wasn't until the confirmation email came that she realized that (1) she had ordered an ADPi scarf instead, and (2) there were no more Kappa scarfs.

Oh well. The scarf came and is now in the hands of an ADPi collegiate friend. (And I'm looking to see if I can find a Kappa scarf somewhere.)

The HCB of the chapter I advise ordered Pottery Barn monogrammed throws, and we were sent Kappa throws. PB did send the correct ones, but trying to explain the mistake to the customer service representative was quite an ordeal...she was very determined to get it right on the second go-round, but she had absolutely no knowledge of the Greek alphabet.

Personally, I'd wait until the January New Year Lilly sale. Otherwise, they carry everything upscale Kappa at the W&L bookstore, at full price, of course.

I was talking to Hypo tonight on the phone and she said "I want to tell you something, but I don't want you to go vote!" And I was like "What are you talking about??" And she told me about the new Lily sorority print. I told her "No worries, I won't vote, I'm anti-Lily and think it is a scam that they are using sorority women to do their marketing for them." She said "You're right, they do, don't they?" She pauses.. then she says "But I really want them to make an AXO print!" I told her no worries, I would not vote. LOL

^^^I'll admit it. I voted for AGD.

I'm a little irked that the two Pi Phi picture frames I bought on sale for my daughter for $9 each (they were $28) are now $8 in the new "regular" pricing!

They brought back the state pattern totes! The Florida tote hasn't been available for months, but I just bought one as a Christmas present to myself. Finally!

These are cute stickers for an agenda/planner/calendar! Thinking about getting them for my daughter. I guess this settles which GLO philanthropy is best known: only Derby Days has its own sticker.

The summer sale is on...August 18-20. My daughter is glued to the monitor.

I wish they had the Alpha Xi scarf in stock. I would've bought that now that it's heavily discounted (since as previously discussed it is very thin), but alas, only Sigma Kappa and AOII are lucky enough to have the scarf in stock. The rest of the sorority collection I don't have much use for.

I bought multiple articles of clothing during the sale as early birthday gifts for myself, but I was sad to see that they had no ADPi items in stock. The totes were super cheap too! Absolutely would have bought one for my little if they'd been in stock.

Sciencewoman · #13 08-18-2014, 11:55 AM

Generallygreek bought ahead for her little during the January sale, which worked out great for her deferred recruitment. The totes are definitely a good buy...too bad the groups to choose from are so limited.

Things seem to be going fast. My daughter ordered a halter dress and a sweater, but the other sweater she wanted was down to only XL left by the time she checked out.

I know we've discussed this before on here, but I think the sorority collection didn't sell as well as they were expecting. I think it's because it was overpriced for subpar quality. But, I wish that they would just continue with it. Readjust the prices so they're more reasonable (as they've done) and finish out the NPC sororities. I think that's fair, and I want to see the prints!

It seems like they had a new strategy so that the site wouldn't crash. I have to admit that I'm a little sad that I didn't see adult women acting like spoiled children on Facebook because the site wasn't working

It was still really intense! I had 3 things disappear from my cart while shopping. But least I received an alert when I clicked on my cart so it wasn't just gone without warning. I appreciated that!

Overall I'm happy. I hope I luck out with really quick shipping again like last year. I literally got all my stuff within a week!
