Happy Founder’s Day, Sigma Kappa!

Happy Founder's Day, Sigma Kappa!

Sigma Kappa Founders

We would like to take a moment today to congratulate Sigma Kappa on 143 years of sisterhood!

Sigma Kappa was founded on this day, November 9th 1874, by five lovely women. Mary Caffrey Low (first female student admitted), Elizabeth Gorham Hoag, Ida Fuller, Frances Mann and Louise Helen Coburn attended Colby College, in Waterville, Maine. Colby College was the first college in the New England area to allow women too attend on an equal basis with men students.

These women came together and created an organization that over 143 years would lead to more than 123 collegiate chapters of 168,000+ women. To say their ideals of “One Heart, One Way” were met, is an understatement!

Today we have our special Sigma Kappa Founder’s Day Tee, Mary Low’s Floral Bouquet, available (below)!

Happy Founder’s Day, Alpha Epsilon Phi!

Happy Founder's Day, Alpha Epsilon Phi!

Happy Founder’s Day, Alpha Epsilon Phi! Here at Ollie + Ivy we wish you a wonderful day filled with sisterhood.

Alpha Epsilon Phi was founded on October 24th, 1909 at Barnard College in Morningside Heights, NYC by seven Jewish women; Helen Phillips Lipman, Ida Beck Carlin, Rose Gerstein Smolin, Augustina “Tina” Hess Solomon, Lee Reiss Liebert, Rose Salmowitz Marvin, and Stella Strauss Sinsheimer. These women established such an amazing organization that focuses on “Many Hearts, One Purpose.” That saying is so true, even to this day, with over 100 chapters and 80,000 members initiated over the 108 years!

Mary Low’s Floral Bouquet | Ollie + Ivy

Hey, Sigma Kappa Ladies! We have a new design ready for you here at Ollie + Ivy! This design is called Mary Low’s Floral Bouquet!

sk_founders_lg.jpg

This design was created with your lovely founder in mind. While researching Mary, we were shocked to learn that she attended Colby College in Maine where she was the FIRST woman to be admitted in 1871! To the left is a photo of Mary & the other four founders of Sigma Kappa.

 

 

You can now get this design at Ollie + Ivy printed on a number of items! We love the fun contrast of the graphic background mixed with the feminine floral bouquet. Of course we also included the beautiful Maroon + Lavender colors as well!

We hope you love, Mary Low’s Floral Bouquet!

5 Cute Big & Little Halloween Costume Ideas!

It is almost that time of year again! Time to put on a cute costume, and go out with your best friends for some dancing! I know I always have the hardest time deciding what to be for Halloween, and think that some of the best costume ideas are ones in pairs! That led us to search for some of the best & cutest ideas for Big & Little costume ideas! Here they are:

1.) T H E . S E V E N . D W A R F S >> Great for multiple sisters and super simple to pull off! Hey, we can even print you the shirts! 🙂

2.) M A R Y   K A T E + A S H L E Y . O L S E N >> These iconic twins are a perfect way to go all out matching your big or little! Nothing says, “You Got It Dude,” like flower embellished overalls from 1990! A trip to your local thrift store might also be in order for this one!

3.) W I N N I E . T H E . P O O H: With the new Pooh movie coming out this is a super cute (and relevant!) way to show up & look adorable! I mean really, how cute are all those little ears!

4.) G O S S I P . G I R L >> “Spotted on the steps of the student union are Serena & Blair. Wait til you hear what we just learned!” Ok…. now if you know this show (admittedly, I was obsessed) Blair MUST be in a headband, school uniform is the dress code (dig up your old high school uniform & alter!), and a cell phone to get all the gossip is a requirement!

5.) C A T . D O G >>This was just too cute to pass up! Plus, who doesn’t love a good homage to ol’ Nickelodeon (when it was still cool!).
