Blue Owl Boutique
Back by popular demand: The Blue Owl Boutique is a unique shopping experience with custom-curated items for all who attend Convention. You can find everything from jewelry to ornaments to paper products and baby items. Kappas love to shop and items sell fast, so be sure to stop by early.
The boutique is a great fundraising opportunity. If you’re interested in participating as a vendor, please read the FAQs and contact Brett Skaugstad Watson, Blue Owl Boutique Chairman
The Blue Owl Boutique is a one-of-a-kind and affordable shopping at Convention. Plus, it’s a wonderful way to earn extra funds. Many associations use their proceeds to send members to future Conventions or for philanthropic efforts.
Participation is free. However, 15% of each group's total sales will go back to the Fraternity as an administrative fee.
Groups that may participate, include:
- Alumnae associations
- Chapters
- House Boards
- Individuals: We ask that individuals donate a minimum of 10% to an alumnae association, chapter, House Board, or the Kappa Kappa Gamma Foundation in addition to the 15% administrative fee.
Think Kappa: Owls, keys and fleurs-de-lis are always popular! Paper products, ornaments, cookie cutters, jewelry, and other portable items are hits because they’re easy to pack in a suitcase or carry-on.
We permit individuals and groups to sell items at the Blue Owl Boutique during Convention without being licensed. As long as marketing or selling of items outside of Convention does not occur, you are permitted to utilize the words Kappa, KKG, and Kappa Kappa Gamma on your items. Kappa specific branding is not permitted (i.e. fleur-de-key, tagline, etc.)
Yes. Please make arrangements with the Blue Owl Boutique Chairman or select someone from your district, association, or House Board to be responsible for the merchandise (e.g., dropping items off and picking up any leftovers) at Convention. We can also ship items back to your group, but the shipping costs will be deducted from your proceeds.
No, the Fraternity is not responsible for lost or stolen items.
The Blue Owl Boutique is led by the Blue Owl Boutique Chairman, Blue Owl Boutique Assistant Chairman, and a local liaison. Local volunteers help staff the Blue Owl Boutique throughout the week. However, we highly encourage you to stop by frequently to shop and spread the word to others about the amazing items they can bring home!
Historically, we’ve never sold more than 100 of any single item, so limit your quantities. Storage space is minimal as we attempt to provide all participants with equal spaces.
Checks will be mailed from Kappa Kappa Gamma Headquarters after the close of Convention.
Start brainstorming product ideas, complete the inventory sheet, and email it to the Blue Owl Boutique Chairman by June 1.
