That's what makes me mystic.

And I'm glad to see fraternity philanthropies I'd forgotten about or didn't know about.

Meanwhile, how could I have forgotten about Beta's delicate shades of pink and blue? I'm not even a Beta (have them in the family, though) and I still think of Beta when I see a pink and blue sunrise or sunset.

^^^^Daughter's BF is a Beta Theta Pi. When they got pinned she wanted a dress for it that was in one of their colors. I was a little incredulous. I think I said something like, "Wait, their colors are delicate shades of blue and pink?" She doesn't usually wear blue or pink, but she found something she liked online after searching the city high and low (literally). Ironically, he's color blind, so why we went through all of that I have no idea.

Outside of the color blind thing, however, he doesn't have many other discernable flaws she's discovered yet (after four years), so if he's an typical representative of Beta Theta Pi, they must be a great fraternity.
