Clearly! And question... are they technically our colors? I've heard some things about purple, but no one has confirmed this for me.

Online, I've only found a few things saying that purple used to be one of our colors, but they're not the most reliable sources. Wiki says that our colors were originally purple and gold but another sorority on campus was already using those colors, so they changed them (I know Wiki isn't always accurate).

And this site, under "Alpha Sigma Tau" says, "Alpha Sigma Tau's colors are purple and gold"... I know that's clearly wrong now, but still, it says it.

Any idea?

True, but I'm pretty certain the colors have been emerald and gold since our founding year.

I don't think that stationery is specifically meant for ASTs. It probably comes in different colors, but the website only took pictures of one variety (yet still tagged a bunch of sororities for it). You could probably order it in emerald and gold.

Oh wait, I see where it says that. Yeah, somebody didn't do her/his homework. Cool stamps though.
