We Had Wild Ideas

We had wild ideas that we could have a die made and our first pins made in time for our first public appearance. Naive? Surely. Just as was the preposterous reason for our choosing light and dark blue for colors. Remember that? KKG was our first choice of a national to join; so we chose the Kappa colors for it would be so inconvenient to change colors! If that isn't naive, I don't know the meaning of the world.
