I'm from Lambda Tau at University of Louisiana at Monroe (NLU when I was there.) We used to have our pref party and all of our special events at Bidenharn Gardens in town. The Bidenharn's were the first to bottle Coke. The owner's daughter was an AOII. Until she died she would look down at the girls participating in rush running around her yard. Red may have been in honor of her, but I've no proof that Mr. Bidenharn picked the color for Coke. I'm sure, though, that this is where the rumor came from.
