Mari has a post here on the purple tide that just swept through. They (the Omega Phi Psi fraternity) were also out on the west side of the Convention Center in droves. And driving downtown. When you noticed a purple shirt on a K Street sidewalk, there would be a honk and wave from an SUV on your left, even in Clarendon.

The editor checked with a neighbor. The editor asked, tongue in cheek, where his purple t-shirt was. He smiled and said he was a Kappa. (His license plate holder does, too.) The editor admitted to being unsurprised, as the neighbor was a bit tall and thin to fit the group. He grinned and added something else. The editor commented that he had seen Jim Vance cover the story on channel 4 news. He said that Vance was a Kappa and hid his disdain fairly well. The neighbor knows Jim Vance personally and understood.

Update

Had a short conversation with a waiter at a local watering hole where the Omega's ate and drank a lot.

They don't tip. Not badly. Not meagerly. Just don't.
