I never quite understood why people would go out and get all kinds of crazy printed letters that had absolutely nothing to do w/ the org's colors, symbols, etc.

I have a lot of respect for how the NPHC does things so conventionally, but I can also see using prints/colors that are SIMILAR to your org's official colors (aka leopard print for black and gold) or have something to do with your group's symbols (aka Skull & crossbones for Phi Kap Sig, turtles for DZ).

But, for ex, a KD in a gray shirt with purple background and mickey mouse pattern or an ADPi in red and gold...makes no sense to me. Maybe b/c even in my younger days, 'team colors' were important spirit-builders and identifying elements when i did things like cheerleading, soccer, track...

Just my thoughts...
