They probably just liked those colors for their chapter hoodies & gear. I know that at my chapter, our chapter sweaters were pink & white instead of maroon & lavender. We just liked the way they looked.

Forgive me if this is a stupid question, but does your sorority or other NPC sororities get to decide what colors you wear on para on a chapter by chapter basis?

No. We can pretty much wear any colors we want. I understand that NPHC members only wear para in their org's colors, is that correct?
Sometimes, families will all get letters in a particular pattern or color combination, and/or they'll have a specific lettered sweatshirt or other item that gets handed down from big to little. But sisters will usually have other lettered items in colors/patterns that they choose individually.

Mode is basically beige. Until recently, most Gamma Phi chapters had 'chapter colors' (mine were red and royal blue)because brown and beige just aren't very exciting. Now that pink has been added - suddenly we're cool! Brown and pink is everywhere! I am so happy to finally be able to wear my colors and not feel like a baked potato.
FYI - the first Gamma Phi Beta colors were dark and light blue - they were changed in honor of Dr. Brown, who was instrumental in our founding.

OK I was confused. Thanks for clearing that up.
As for NPHC we only wear our official colors. So AKA colors are Salmon Pink and Apple Green, but we may have a shirt or jacket that is black, white, silver/grey, green, pink, or khaki, but the letters are always pink and/or green.

You can wear pretty much whatever colors you want with your letters. We don't have to get our letters in our GLO's colors only. I had hoodies in pink/white, gray/purple, black/red, and baby blue/white. My big was a HUGE Lakers fan so as a birthday gift, all her lil's chipped in and got her a white sweatshirt with the yellow & purple letters. It wasn't my favorite choice but she loved it.

Gamma Phis colors used to be some sort of blue or blues. They were changed in memory of Prof. Brown to brown and mode because our founders held meeting in his library/study. That may explain the wearing of navy and light blue.

What a great legend. I love it when the (legendary) reasons behind things are public info, and not something that only sisters are privy to. Kinda like with ZTA and the strawberries.
Oh, and just to keep this on topic, KD's colors are olive green and pearl white. Our flower is the white rose.
