NPC Sorority pumps? I don't think so!

[Old_Row]

Those are just horrible! I can't believe any sorority would approve them.

Stuff like this makes all the exhortations to only patronize licensed vendors kind of ring hollow. We made sweatshirts in our living room while drinking adult beverages that were more professional than this. If sororities really want to impress on their members to not buy unlicensed stuff, they need to make sure the licensed stuff isn't utter shit.

THIS.

I have no idea how licensing works, but I feel as though they were approved on the idea, and hadn't actually shown any products. How else does this get okayed??

Applicants for a license have to submit a product description and a sample, but they submit them to Affinity Marketing, not to the GLOs themselves. I would be very surprised if Affinity Marketing forwards the samples on to each GLO.

I'd be curious to hear about any responses received by anyone who complained to their sorority's HQ.

Holy crap those are fugly. All the "red" sororities are exactly the same! And the shoes look really uncomfortable. I will retroactively deactivate if I see pictures of my chapter wearing these at rush, seriously (but not really).

Also, KKG's are the closest to being pretty, but they also have the colors that are easiest to use well.

Has anyone actually read the descriptions? This one from Delta Delta Delta's shoes:

HOLY COW .. minimum order of 500??!! Who has $50K to drop on 500 pairs of UGLY shoes? Not to mention shipping and tax.

I like how they're spinning it - due to high demand - if there was high demand they could mass-manufacture on speculation of purchase.
I sent a picture of the Tri Delta ones to my boss. I'm sure I'll be seeing her wearing them around the office any day now.

Re: the Sigma Kappa shoes, I sent them a friendly note:

"You used Kappa Sigma (a fraternity) colors and symbols for the Sigma Kappa sorority shoes. Are you sure you're an "official" licensed vendor?"

I actually got a quick response: "Thank you so much for making us aware of this error! We really*appreciate*it! "

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....

They've removed the SK shoes from the site.

You're welcome Sigma Kappas!

Maybe everyone else should claim that their colors/symbols are incorrect so they can be removed...at least for a little while... lol
