Clarification of Alpha Gamma Delta...

Alpha Gamma Delta's flowers are red and buff roses, with green asparagus plumosa fern.

I've seen Alpha Gam chapter/club websites that reference the "Lady Banks Rose" as an example of a true buff rose

While ADPi has the woodland violet (which grow in my yard, I'm pleased to say), I always wished it was a rose of a beautiful color. I love roses!

Honeychile, the woodland violets have taken over my place - I have solid mats of purple violets in my beds. I hate to have to weed them out!

They probably just liked those colors for their chapter hoodies & gear. I know that at my chapter, our chapter sweaters were pink & white instead of maroon & lavender. We just liked the way they looked. :)

Forgive me if this is a stupid question, but does your sorority or other NPC sororities get to decide what colors you wear on para on a chapter by chapter basis?

Someone please describe the color mode to me. I had never heard of it.

No. We can pretty much wear any colors we want. I understand that NPHC members only wear para in their org's colors, is that correct?

Sometimes, families will all get letters in a particular pattern or color combination, and/or they'll have a specific lettered sweatshirt or other item that gets handed down from big to little. But sisters will usually have other lettered items in colors/patterns that they choose individually.

Mode is basically beige. Until recently, most Gamma Phi chapters had 'chapter colors' (mine were red and royal blue)because brown and beige just aren't very exciting. Now that pink has been added - suddenly we're cool! Brown and pink is everywhere! I am so happy to finally be able to wear my colors and not feel like a baked potato.
FYI - the first Gamma Phi Beta colors were dark and light blue - they were changed in honor of Dr. Brown, who was instrumental in our founding.
