Hey everyone!

I'm wondering if anyone knows where the Kappa Kappa Gamma store is. According to my sisters, it's on one of the U of Washington campuses...but I have no idea which one. I'm desperate for some KKG paraphenlia!!!

The store which you are looking for is

The Dawg House

I am not sure if it is still open, because I couldn't find it in www.yellowpages.com

Go to the Delta Gamma forum and email Rxychldr...she is a DG at UW and she can tell you if that store still exists or not!!
GOOD LUCK!

Do you have time to order via phone or Internet? If so, use The Key Source . That's where I get my Kappa stuff...I bought from them a lot because I went to a tiny college 150 miles from the nearest KKG chapter and probably 500 miles from the nearest Greek store. They have great service.

I've gone to The Key Source, but it just costs an arm and a leg for shipping. I've been planning to go to the Seattle area

KKG Babe,

If you use The Key Source, a portion of the sales goes to help Kappa. Just thought you should know. I always buy from them.

Yep, the Dawg House does indeed exist, and it's right on the Ave (pm me if you need directions!). They carry Greek Para., but you'd probably be better off ordering from one of the online Greek merchants. The Dawg House is a little expensive and they don't always have all GLOs in stock. They dramatically downsized the Greek section of their store a few years ago.

There is also a sports company from Europe called Kappa (not to be confused with the cheerleading shoe company Kaepa).

They have some stuff that has the word KAPPA on it.
You see that stuff a lot in Europe and Australia...(North America is way more into Nike brand).

Anyhow, if you were "stuck", then that could be a sort of substitute....
USA Kappa (sportswear company) locator

Kappa Canada (again, the sportswear company)
Places in BC that carry Kappa Sportswear Interesting Kappa blurb about their logo

When I was in England, I loved seeing the "Kappa" brand stuff everywhere... until some friends told me it has a negative connotation, and they call girls who wear it "Kappa Slappers" - basically snobby girls who wear too much make-up.

Then I was not so happy about it.

you think that's bad? Read Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban . There are nasty Dark creatures mentioned called Kappas. Maybe J.K. Rowling is bitter...just kidding.

I read the book and yes, you're right, Kappas are mentioned in there...however, Ms. Rowling is not anti-Greek, she is getting "Kappa" from the Japanese word (thinking of Kappa Maki, the cucumber rolls, when I go out for sushi):
http://www.asahi-net.or.jp/~pi4t-kmr.../demone11.html
Kappa is the most famous demon in Japan. They live in all Japanese rivers.
They are the children about 4 or 5 years old and have a dish on the top of head and a shell in the back. They like sumo and go down man and horse into river. And they love girls.
In the east of Japan, called Suiko(Water Tiger).
and this is what they are in Harry Potter:
Water-dwellers who look like scaly monkeys with webbed hands, Kappas will grab and strangle waders in their ponds (PA8)
According to Snape, the Kappa is commonly found in Mongolia (PA9), but the textbook states that the Kappa is a Japanese creature (FB).
