Flowers and Colors
 
What are your Sorority and Fraternity flowers and colors? I found that several sororities have the Violet as their flower....

Tri Sigma's colors are royal purple & white. Our flower is the purple violet.

ImaDeeGee 03-30-2007 12:49 PM

Delta Gamma's colors are: Bronze, Pink, and Blue

and our flower is the Delta Gamma rose (our rose is actually registered with the American Rose Society), however due to a very unstable winter season in the late 70's & early 80's, our rose is basically non-existent. We substitute a cream-colored rose in it's place.

". . . The roots of our carnation are the heritage and traditions of the sorority. They are the inheritance of each member. The stalk is the growth of heritage, of organization within the sorority, and it is the spiritual, mental and social growth within the members. The shoots which branch out on this stalk are the chapters, and they are the individual contributions each member has to offer. And the flower. It is everything - the international organization of Gamma Phi Beta, and each member is a petal of this flower. And that is the legend, the heritage of the pink carnation. The pink carnation is a symbol of the life of the sisterhood, of the life of each Gamma Phi Beta. Whatever has been in the past is not gone - it lives forever in the root of the flower. Whatever will be in the future is the nourishment from which the flower will gain new strength for further growth. The pink carnation is Gamma Phi Beta"
Nancy Johansen, Gamm Pi

Alpha Delta Pi

Official Colors:
Azure blue and white are the official colors of Alpha Delta Pi. Blue is symbolic of friendship, and white symbolizes sincerity and truth.

Official Flower:
The Woodland Violet, which grows wild, is the official flower. Because it is unavailable for purchase, African Violets are often used to symbolize the Woodland Violet.

What a great legend. I love it when the (legendary) reasons behind things are public info, and not something that only sisters are privy to. Kinda like with ZTA and the strawberries.

Oh, and just to keep this on topic, KD's colors are olive green and pearl white. Our flower is the white rose. :)

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

Just like the Steelers! :D

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!

SWTXBelle 03-31-2007 07:50 AM

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!
