ALPHA PHI

​

Fraternity Colors
Alpha Phi's original colors were blue and gold. In 1879, noting that a fraternity had colors too similar to hers, Alpha Phi adopted the more distinctive colors of silver and bordeaux.
Members wear their colors, in the form of ribbons of silver/gray and bordeaux, under their badge to acknowledge special occasions such as the installation of a new chapter, the anniversary of their chapter's installation or the celebration of Alpha Phi Founders' Day each year on October 10.  In modern day, these ribbons are often worn virtually in the form of social media badges.
