I knew a girl on my cheer squad who was in an NPC sorority and she wasnt sure what the official colors of her org were. (Now, I'm pretty sure this is not the norm...) But my take on it (and this is just my vibe from what she told me) was that when it comes to 'nailia, the colors chosen were not as signifigant as the letters themselves, or the mascot.
Other than black or white (and sometimes khaki) as a BACKGROUND color, I wouldn't wear any 'nailia that was not Rhoyal Blue and Gold. As a matter of fact, there are no certified vendors that sell NPHC goods in the "wrong" colors.
The women of Sigma Gamma Rho are represented by,
colors; royal blue and gold
flower; yellow tea rose
mascot; french toy poodle
My fav color is actually red and I prefer cats over dogs, but I wouldnt get a shirt made that way, cause that's not what the organization is represented by--regardless of my personal tastes.
It's just another one of the minor differences between NPHC and NPC/IFC orgs. No big whoop.
