A while back on the SAI Listserv, there was a discussion about the use of non-SAI colors(crimson and white). It was started by a sister at a HB college and their chapter strictly wore red and white, and most of us had never given a second thought to the use of non-SAI colors. She thought it was wrong to wear other colors, while many of us didn't.
The discussion did make me take notice how members of NPHC GLO's only wear their colors. And this is so in SAI chapters at HB colleges. While I had never considered this viewpoint before, it makes a lot of sense to me. When I see members of AKA, Delta Sigma Theta, Sigma Gamma Rho, and Zeta Phi Beta(as well as the fraternities) around campus sporting their letters, I know right away what group they're in because of the colors before I even see the letters. And I think that's totally cool...seems like it's another way to instill a sense of unity and to distinguish you from other groups.
