About Ring Ching Ching:

Named after a song Jennifer J. Martin and her Pi Phi Sorority sisters sang when she was in college, Ring Ching Ching was created in 2009 when she could not find any stylish or modern sorority merchandise out there for the new generation of woman going Greek. A single mom, her kids have also gone through the Greek system - her daughter is a Pi Phi alum and her son is an active SAE, Jennifer’s love for fashion and design was inspired by her grandmother, an interior designer and circa 1969 fashionista, who always had Jennifer creating, cutting, gluing or sewing something.  Jennifer has combined the eye for design she inherited from her grandmother with the skills and experience she picked up as a buyer for various retails stores and boutiques to build Ring Ching Ching into a success. Now offering over 500 products, Ring Ching Ching is sold online at www.ringchingching.com or through boutiques stores nationwide. 949-637-2401
