I'm just saying.

I also get irritated when people refer to us in writing as EK. Sigma and Epsilon are two totally different letters.
Royal blue and gold gets us items made in sky blue and orange, navy and yellow (or beige)... its a hot mess. And my graduate chapter has an Eta and Sigma in its name. H gets replaced w/ E, and Sigma gets replaced with... E again... its a mess too.

We also have "classic" and "formal" colour palettes to be used in addition to our colours for printing (like in newsletters, websites etc). These are all secondary colours that are used for accents.
We also have to have our royal blue printed a specific way or it shows up at purple.

While that makes sense, it just means Tri Sigma is always sailing east. LOL.

On a related note: it would be obvious that our poodle should be in a neutral (black/white/tan) color but ideally in royal blue/gold. 99% of poodle ANYTHING you'll find is pink or sky blue. Which makes it that much more special when i DO find a neutral or royal blue/gold poodle.
