We sold daffodils at Cal
The Zeta at Cal Berkeley had a Spring event that involoved the brothers, sorority girls, and flowers.
In the late forties and fifties, the spring event at Cal was the LXA Daffodil Festival. Daffodils were sold to raise money and the sorority that raised the most money would have their nominee crowned "Daffodil Queen". At one time she had to be a blonde to reflect the golden color of the flowers.
Festival was followed by a formal where the announcent of the queen was made.
