We are not known as Sigmas in NPHC._ We go by S-G-Rhos or just simply Sigma Gamma Rho Sorority, Incorporated. It's too confusing with Phi Beta Sigma Fraternity, Inc (NPHC) who are known in our circle as the "Sigmas"

Sigma Alpha uses green and gold (emerald and maize). They also use the yellow chrysanthemum. Someone earlier had asked about a chrysanthemum.

Thanks, both of you. Interesting that they both specify yellow chrysanthemum. We don't specify the color.

Of course, I should have thought to check ariesrising website -- it is amazing.

That is correct. Our official colors are King Blue and Gold... But we mostly use royal blue (sometimes navy) since king blue is hard to find.

Hey, no harm, no foul.
Sometimes on a local level, we have chapters that may still use "Sigma" but it's been encouraged not to do that for the reason previously stated. Again, it's just too confusing.
