Do you still have your pledge ribbons?

My Chi O wife still has her red and yellow pledge ribbon from 1969 in her jewelry box--we saw it when we moved a year ago. This thread reminded me that many of us fraternity guys figured out who just pledged what by the colors of ribbons they wore post-bid day. As I remember, bid-day shirts weren't as prevalent then.

This was the same for me in the mid-1990s. I could tell which girls pledged which GLO based on the color of the ribbons they wore. Bid day shirts were used; but, girls certainly didn't wear them for several days in a row.
