I could see how someone not from Oklahoma who doesn't have any NA ancestry might be surprised by the use of Native American imagery by the Panhellenic women at OSU. To see the pictures from last year that was mentioned, I'll post the links below. I'd be happy to explain the perspective from the greek system I am a part of (and myself, as I have Cherokee heritage, but you would never know just by looking at me), but that would be beating a dead horse, as it was discussed before and everyone came here to see all of the happy Bid Day pictures!

As for not using Lilly Pulitzer prints, the brand is not really predominant at OSU; I'd say about a third of the members in my chapter don't know what Lilly Pulitzer is.

Oh, and OSU's quota was 58; all 12 chapters met quota! Love seeing all the Bama pictures!!

I am actually from Oklahoma, born and raised (and live here now, though I didn't go to college here).

The whole thing still really rubs me the wrong way. "Honoring" Native Americans through Bid Day/Recruitment does not compute to me.

The choices aren't Lilly Pulitzer letters/no letters. Lots of chapters make up their own prints to use. I really dislike those "tribal" letters. I think the whole thing was poorly conceived. But of course it's in the past, and there's not much anyone can do about it.

The theme is Gatsby! Hence the feathered headbands and such.
