Why were the colors Olive Green and Scarlet chosen?

To represent the fall colors during its autumn founding

the founders were sitting outside under a maple tree when they noticed the falling autumn leaves. They admired the combination of scarlet and bronze-green colors, which became the sorority's colors. The bronze-green shade later became known as olive green.
