Vera Bradley and Greek Life

Just out of curiosity, how big is Vera Bradley at your campuses? Is Vera just something indigenous to South, or do those in the North love it too? I know at my college campus, Vera was big across campus, but huge with the Greeks.


If you think I am crazy, and have no idea what I am talking about please check out Vera's website

Patricia Miller - Co-Founder of Vera Bradley is a KD. Maybe her other half is Greek as well.

Vera is pretty popular at Maryland too. My first awareness of Vera was actually the other PNMs' bags when I was going through recruitment. They seemed to be everywhere. I like how the patterns have evolved quite a bit.

My friend who is a KD at Tennessee says they give their NMs Vera Bradley bags on bid day. I can't imagine how much that costs for 45ish (I think) NMs.

I saw a girl on campus the other day rocking four Vera Bradley items at once. I was pretty impressed that she managed to carry them all at the same time.

Other than that, never really seen it, and I've never seen any Lily other than my own. North Face is actually useful here with the weather, and well, UGG boots can see me in hell. I know people think they are great but they are just as offensive as Crocs.

Though I don't personally like it (more of a Coach girl), Vera Bradley is pretty popular in Ohio. Our university bookstore is actually an authorized Vera retailer. I see girls with Vera bags all over campus, both Greek and non-Greek.

vera was huge at my undergrad in maryland and pretty popular at home in jersey.

especially among girls in sororities at school, but you would see it everywhere.

now in ireland it is a fun way to spot american students, along with north face jackets

Several of the Virginia colleges (I can think of at least 4 off the top of my head) are not only Vera Bradley authorized retailers, but also Vineyard Vines authorized retailers. VV, VB and Lily seem to go hand in hand.

It was a huge Greek thing starting around 2000 or so at Elon, but now everyone and their mother has some Vera. It used to be a sure-fire way to spot a sorority girl.

I live in GA so of course it's huge here, as well as Coach (my fave). I think VB bags look like a grandma quilt purse but what do I know... At least they're cheaper than Coach.

VB is also sold in our bookstore, Delta Chi was colonizing on campus and they had a VB pitch to get all of the sorority buttons on our bags (thats how popular it is)
