I believe Brother Cole was an Episcopalian (Mason as well?), so this could be where the colors came from.

Yes, I specifically remember reading that somewhere. I've looked throughout the Phi Manual, Ritual What and Why, and Historical Perspective for a specific line which I can't seem to find.
It essentially said that there are subtle differences between the AM Ceremony (based on TKN) and our Initiation Ritual (based on religious backgrounds) to the point that the ending of the oath should be read as "...in accordance with the Episcopalian teachings of this ritual..." because of our Episcopalian underpinnings.
