Why Do Greek Colors Matter?
Beyond just matching merch (although we love a coordinated hoodie moment), your organization’s colors:
✔ Represent history and founding values
✔ Appear on official regalia, flags, and stoles
✔ Set your org apart visually during events
✔ Help build instant unity and identity
And let’s be real—they look great on custom gear.
