DKG Ribbon Color

Many members will ask "Why is your ribbon black? I thought that the ribbon was suppose to be red!" My response is that the ribbon can be any color. Traditionally, the majority of ribbons are red. Either to symbolize the red roses or the traditional red seen in the shield/graphics of the society. However, DKG does not require a specific color for the ribbon. Ribbons purchased from Epsilon State supporting the Florence Amy Fund are red. Black is another color that I wear and have seen worn by many members of Epsilon and other states along with white. So, in selecting your color of ribbon, know that you have a choice.
