Well, the blue iris is what we're supposed to use if we can get it, but they're hard to find and rather expensive, so we usually use the purple iris.

Lots of fraternities and sororities have HQ in Indiana, but I really don't have time to research who is where, sorry!

SDT's mascot is also the Teddy Bear

SDT's HQ is Indiana. I don't have much time to research which other GLO's are in IN also...sorry...

I believe there's a whole like "office park" where all these Headquarters are located - on Founder's Road in Indianapolis.

I always thought it was the other way around. When we use irises in Pref Ceremony or to give to NMs, we always order blue irises even though our flower is actually the lovely purple iris. The blue looks purple and is cheaper.

It probably depends on what part of the country you are in.

Yes, technically our flower is the fleur-de-lis, but since it isn't a flower that grows, we use the iris! So we could be in the iris category as well!

Sorry! I couldn't find a flower on the KKG website but I found fleur-de-lis on a chapter's site.

I like to think that we use the fleur-de-lis because it is an ideal, a perfection for which we all strive. The blue iris is the closest thing to a fleur-de-lis that grows in nature.

Didn't someone perfect an iris with dark blue uppers and light blue lower petals? (Might've been the other way around -- light upper, dark lower.)

I bring this up because I think a Phi Mu was the one to perfect it!

I was wrong, it was carnation. Wish we could claim her but I do believe she's Pi Beta Phi.

"And as for the Kappa Kappa Gamma iris, guess what? I bred their official iris 25 years ago! There's a picture of me with it in a Key from back then (MSKKG has seen it!)...the standards (upper petals) are light blue and the falls (lower petals) are royal blue."
