I am not trying to be pretentious, but I love this thread. It makes me proud to know all of this stuff!!!! Anyways, if I may, I have another question that my new member mom had to look up!!
How did the founders go about choosing our colors?

1910 is right for the last trivia question. Good Job!!

I have no idea how the Founders chose our colors. Someone please enlighten me! My memories of pledge education classes must be fading!

The founders chose their colors by matching swatches of baby ribbon at a local department store, untill they found a suitable combination.

I have a question that maybe someone can answer me. In my New Member Ed. classes, I was taught that the official colors were Old Rose and Vieux Green. However, in our new member manual, they are listed as Rose Pink and Nile Green. Any ideas as to why?

In the Flame,

I heard lots of stories about how our colors were chosen, but I never knew about the matching of ribbons in the store...it's always interesting to find out new stuff like that. I heard that the colors were chosen based on our flower. They thought that since the pink kilarney rose was pink in color with a green stem, it would be a suitable combination as the sorority colors. I also heard something about our founders having a gathering at someone's house (I can't remember which founder's house they were at) but it was their first meeting together and the carpet in the room was pink and green so they chose that as the colors.

Hi Missy,

I was always taught that the colors are Old Rose and Nile Green. Perhaps there are 2 terms that mean the same thing for each color? It's a good question to ask National Headquarters, I think!

Here's a new trivia question for you!

Which two people wrote the Delta Zeta ritual in 1903?

dz1991 · #41 07-22-2001, 11:53 PM

Wasn't Alfa Loyd or Julia Bishop one of them?

I have no idea why I am thinking this, but didn't Dr. Benton assist one of the founders?
I don't know, it kinda just popped into my head!

Peace, Love, and Turtles!
Missy

If I remember correctly, Dr. Benton and Alfa Lloyd wrote it together. I hope this is right...it's only been a semester since I moved from New Member Educator to President!! Hahaha

The answer to the trivia question is:

Dr. Guy Potter Benton and Julia Bishop. Julia was the only founder to return to Miami University in 1903 and to keep Delta Zeta going on campus. Dr. Benton, a Phi Delta Theta, assisted her in creating the ritual.

I don't know why Nile was substituted for Vieux, since in French Vieux means "old". Anyone?
