University of North Carolina athletic teams are known as the Tar Heels because North Carolina is "The Tar Heel State."
The adoption of light blue and white as University of North Carolina's colors dates back to the 19th Century. When the University of North Carolina re-opened following the Civil War, most social activities were directed by two literary societies, the Dialectic and Philanthropic.
The official color of the North Carolina’s Di was light blue and that of the North Carolina’s Phi white. It was the custom for all men from North Carolina localities west of Chapel Hill to affiliate with the Di and generally for students from the North Carolina east to become members of the Phi. |
