They also totally ignore the D9 groups, right? You want to talk not just huge numbers, but alumnae who really wear their colors and symbols way more than NPC groups, you should be marketing to the NPHC.

I'm looking forward to an AKA print in green and yellow and a SGR print in pink and blue. That's about as bad as what my sorority's print ended up being. I doubt a lot of NPHC members would be buying the print that Lily would come up with on their behalf, considering you wear your colors with pride But maybe the company would fear backlash and actually do PRETTY prints for the black girls. HA!

I've seen some vendors who have failed in regards to the wrong color thing. Delta prints that weren't quite red or crimson. I think that great prints can be made for NPHC sororities as long as they stick to our colors/official symbols! They could, for example, use violets in a Delta print (and the official colors) and it would be acceptable! They would have the potential to clean up if they wanted to!

But if they haven't done prints for all the NPC sororities, they aren't thinking about us!

Aren't the Theta pansies in Theta colors? Black and gold? Unless the yellow isn't gold enough for you.

Have to agree on the scary panda/psychedelic blue roses though...those are actually horrid!!!

Its nice to see that the products have been pre-released, but I'm seriously disappointed in the minimal offerings for Alpha Chi Omega-2 pieces?

Its official... Alpha Chi Omega is the new print.

Lucky for me, I don't actually like Lilly Pulizer designs.

Congrats to A Chi O

To be honest, I don't think Lilly Pulitzer did as good of a job as they could have. All of the prints could be improved upon. I know one sorority, though I can't think of it off the top of my head, had a lot of members dislike their print. They were very vocal on the Facebook comments about it, haha. For one example, I was confused as to why AOII's print is so pink when their color is cardinal. I suppose it's for background/looks purposes but still. I'm sure they did NPHC, they would really need to think it over as those women would definitely set if off if their prints were ugly! Haha.

TL;DR: Lilly could do a lot better with all of the sorority prints. *shrugs*

I like these MUCH better than Lilly - and they haven't made me upset by bad marketing manipulation: http://shopfrancescajoy.com/francesca-joy.html

Lilly has a new competition going...this one is university vs. university, and they have a "brackets" set up for the voting. Ugh.

The aqua blue seems to be a generic Lilly color as of late. Our colors are scarlet red and olive green--no yellowish color.

I really like it! Once items are released, I will definitely buy some stuff.

Hey AGDee--this would be a fun Christmas gift for Hypo!
