Wow...ok.


Point of clarification - I'm not sure what you were getting at just then, but Gamma Phi Beta's colors were not selected by a man. They were selected by the sisters to honor a gentleman, Dr. Brown, who allowed early Gamma Phi Betas to use his study for meetings.

It seems just a bit out of order that you should give me and my sisters lessons on the history our own organization.

Especially since our original colors were not brown, meaning at the time of the founding they had nothing whatsoever to do with a man. (wishes the board had a lightbulb smile)

Not to mention that there is more to our colours than honouring Dr. Brown . . .
