What is the blue phi?

Answer 1

Give it up, no one will ever answer this question. Bluuuuuuuuue Phi!!!!!!!!!!!!

It started as a call that members of Phi Beta Sigma used to each other. Sometimes it was used as a password to get into places or as a call for help. Later on this became a nickname for the Phi Beta Sigma/ Zeta Phi Beta family. They were just referred to as the Blue Phi.

It started out as all black men but alot of other notable people were given honorary membership like: Bill Clinton, Arsenio Hall, Kweisi Mfume, Montel Williams, Maury Povich, Martin Lawrence, Philip Micheal Thomas. The Blue Phi isn't always male, sometimes they're female. They're not always black. They may be white, Asian or black. It was a group that was gaining alot of popularity in the 80's and 90's. They're still around but I'm not sure about how popular.

Answer 2

The blue phi is a phenomenon that occurs when a person stares at a fixed point on a blue background for an extended period, causing a diminished sensitivity to blue and an apparent yellowing of surroundings when the eyes move to a white background. It is an example of color adaptation in the visual system.
