Carnation, that was you? NO WAY! I show that issue of the
Key to all our new members, both because of the flower and because that issue has an article about the installation of our chapter. Wow, I had no idea that was you! You rock my world!
Ariesrising, Kappa's official flower is the Fleur-de-lys, but because you can't just go to the florist and order a dozen, we use blue or purple irises. I like to think of the Fleur as the ideals for which all Kappas strive, and the Kappa Kappa Gamma Iris as the closest approximation that our imperfect selves can attain here on earth.
Dude, Carnation, I am still stunned. I think that flower is one of the most beautiful I've ever seen. Do any of them still exist? I've done a few searches, but I can't find any mention of the Kappa Kappa Gamma Iris outside of that issue of teh
Key.
