Go Greek!

It’s hard to relate to the joys of being a sorority sister, but not finding the perfect gift, we’ve been there. Ring Ching Ching’s Jennifer Martin (a former Pi Phi at USC) founded a line of stylish sorority wear after searching unsuccessfully for a great sorority-related gift. Now her line is sought after throughout the Greek system, and it’s the only OC-based business that offers sorority gifts.

Choose from sorority-themed tank tops, T-shirts, pajama pants, hot pants, pillow cases, stationery, bags, totes, and new laundry bags that are the hottest seller. And Ring Ching Ching is not just for sororities, they offer custom designs for fraternities, high schools, birthdays or any other group of function you may need! Ring Ching Ching is having an open house Saturday from 1 to 8 p.m. at 1508 Cumberland Lane in Newport Beach. Great gifts for the holidays, big sis/little sis. Prices start as low as $2.
