Congratulations to the ladies of California State University - Monterrey Bay
2015 - 2016 Sorority of the Year
Stoles. Letter shirts. Tikis. Jackets. These are all items we look forward to purchasing at various times of our KDChi journey. We save money for the KDChi Store at conference. We add them to our birthday and Christmas wish lists. Once received, we wear these items with pride. So it’s fitting that we take great care as to who buy these items from.
Did you know that not just anyone can manufacture or produce these items? Companies, or rather vendors, have been carefully selected by our licensing representative, Affinity Consultants. In
2015, KDChi partnered with
Affinity Consultants, Official Greek Licensing to
manage our trademarks. Affinity Consultants
represents over 100 other Greek-letter
organizations by reviewing products,
contracts, and handling legal matters.
The process is rather simple. Potential vendors apply for a license and send in samples
of their products. Once
it is reviewed by Affinity, the sorority enters into a legal
contract which entitles the vendor to use our name, Greek letters, shield and other symbols. The
vendor repays the organization for
such rights by sending in
royalties from
sales.
less than a year, Affinity Consultants has garnered the sorority access to 48 vendors! Some who only previously provided products for NPC and IFC organizations. This only proves how strong our brand has become and what a viable market multicultural sororities are.
A few long standing KDChi vendors have registered with Affinity and its program. For example, our beloved Leticia Obregon, who changed her company name from Greek Creations to Greek 4 All. Others are Greek Underdog, C. C. Creations, and Collegiate Greek.
New vendors include Nava New York, a jeweler, Spirit Jersey, Kapsil Greek Specialties, and Sororitee. It serves to mention that Nava New York chose KDChi as the first NALFO organization it chose to license.
Our list of vendors includes photographers, screen printers, promotional products companies, and more traditional Greek shops. Make sure to look for the Official Greek Licensing logo and check out our list at https://greeklicensing.com/clients/kappa-delta-chi
Sisters can apply to be licensed vendors as well. If you have questions about licensing, contact our Vendor Manager, Jessica Juarez.

Several sisters got to meet actor Joshua Malina of Scandal after conference was over on Sunday afternoon.
A nice distraction from some delayed flights :D
