Hey, I wanna hear the ZTA strawberry story without having to go and search for it forever. Someone tell me please

Yes, pink is being used in our logo and our branding. However, NO it is not an official color in ANY way, shape or form. The only official colors we have are brown and mode.

Completely understandable and we do the same:

"The official colors of Sigma Phi Epsilon Fraternity are red and purple. Gold is utilized essentially as trim, but is not an official color. While gold is used on SigEp chapter flags for Greek letter chapter designations and as striping, it is NOT an official color of the Fraternity. While gold is used in the banners that have flown overhead at Conclave it is in the same regard, as a trim, but not as an official color of the Fraternity.

The official flowers of the Fraternity are red roses and deep purple violets. The Fraternity has two official flowers that match the same colors as the Fratenity's two official colors. There is not a gold colored flower that officially represents the Fraternity.

The same could be said of the flag of the United States of America whose colors are red, white, and blue. While gold fringe may be used in interior flags, gold is not an official color of the flag, but merely as trim --- identical in concept to the Fraternity's official colors --- and does not include gold as an official color."

Gold is just a really nice trim color haha.

Always used to wear Navy Blue and Light blue...I was under the impression that those were your colors..hmm.. interesting

Anyway Sigma Sigma Rho Sorority Inc.

Colors: Royal Blue, Black, and Silver
Flower: White Rose
Mascot-Black Mare (just a little extra)

Gamma Phis colors used to be some sort of blue or blues. They were changed in memory of Prof. Brown to brown and mode because our founders held meeting in his library/study. That may explain the wearing of navy and light blue.

Anhyoo...
Our colors are rose and green and our official flower is the Killarney Rose

To even be more specific...

Old Rose and Vieux Green: The selection (supposedly) was made when the 6 original founders were sitting in Alpha Lloyd's (I think) living room where there was a rug with the colors in it and they liked them so much, that's what they chose.

I know, the story isn't a great legend, but it's a legend nonetheless.

While growing up I remember hearing stories that the Killarney rose was a popular hybrid at the time that didn't have any thorns. It was believed that the flower was extinct, but within the past 10 years or so they have become available and did, in fact, have thorns.
