Colors are a big deal, and so are what they stand for. In the NPC, though, many groups have "family colors" in their family trees. (i.e. I'm Phi Mu. My big sister gave me my first pair of letters, which was a black shirt with animal-print letters. Her great-great-great big selected them. So when we have get togethers, I wear my family letters, so does she, so does her big, so does her big's big, etc. It's just another way to feel included within the group.)

It's less of a faux pas, though, to wear non-pink Phi Mu letters. Sounds like in the NPHC it's kind of a no-no.
