The DPhiE colony from back home has "Rosie the Unicorn". Rosie is actually the colony president's chiuaua (sp?.. that is such a weird word to spell :P )

Alpha Sigma Alpha's national mascots are the ladybug and Raggedy Ann... although I think they are slowly moving away from Raggedy Ann... I'm glad we have a cute mascot... you can always find tons of cute ladybug things!!!

Alpha Sigma Chapter
 

My chapter's local mascots are the lion and the rainbow. We're trying to move away from the whole rainbow thing though.

Zeta Tau Alpha has no national mascot so each chapter chooses their own. Mine is the turtle, as it took so long to become ZTA when our local went national. There are many chapters with bunnies as thier mascot and sometimes people think the bunny is a national symbol.

Some ZTA symbols are the strawberry and the five pointed crown.

Supposedly ASA has no national (i.e. mandated in our national bylaws) mascot. I think they had to say that because even though a lot of chapters use Raggedy Ann and that's what we're told when pledging, Bobbs-Merrill or whoever owns her was getting P.O.'d and wanted $$$ for using it. Our local was turtles when I pledged and I have to say it is still taking me a while to get used to the ladybugs - some of the ladybugs look more like roaches. We have 2 chapters in KS that use apples everywhere - I think they even go by the nickname apples.

Our national is an owl, but in my chapter the families have different mascots. My family is called the princess family, we are ll named after a Disney Princess and our symbol is the crown!. My friend who is a ZTA moved to my school where we didnt' have ZTA and because she hung out with the chi o's, we sorta adopted her and she's my gran big, she obviously couldn't go through initiatation but we started the Princess family and use the crown beause of her!

As far as I know, all Alpha Phi chapters stick with our national mascot, the Phi Bear. At least all the chapters I know of.

AGD
 

Our national is the Squirrel and we don't have a chapter mascot. Most people don't like the idea of a squirrel at first but they really do grow on you.

Phi Mu's national mascot is now Sir Fidel the lion... but they only decided this recently (not sure HOW recently though). Before, different chapters of Phi Mu used ladybugs or lions. I would imagine that some chapters are still pretty partial to ladybugs (including our advisor's home chapter). But my chapter only uses Sir Fidel :)

It is funny that most people outside of ZTA think that the bunny is our official national mascot. I went to officer training last month and another chapter in our state hadn't even heard about the bunny. Where they living under a rock?!:eek: But, I think the bunny is really cute cuz we can use the playboy bunny (I know it's kinda getting old, but there's plenty of gift ideas there). I heard there's a Florida chapter that uses the "Zeta gator," maybe because is sounds good (aside from the obvious reason). I kinda wish we had a national mascot sometimes, but we have a couple of symbols that are official that are really cool and incredibly meaningful, and that's nice too. :)

The ZTAs at my old school used angels. when I got here and saw all of the bunnies, I was like, "huh?" The angels were a HUGE deal there.

We have an Oscar Fish in our fish tank at the house that the guys call Oscar, were so original. It’s not really a chapter mascot but it’s the biggest living animal in the house so I guess it wins by default. This isn’t her but she looks a lot like this.

i didnt know you could have a seperate chapter mascot!! (?) i think adpis everywhere use the lion, diamond, and violet...

My Chapter
 

Our National organization does not exactly have a "mascot" per say (we have many symbols such as the strawberry and crown) but each chapter adopts a mascot. May of our chapters use the Angel (like mine) or the Rabbit. I have seen a turtle and the little mermaid. Some chapters have "Family line" mascots. My aunt and mother's chapter do this. Some in my chapter do. My big and lil's are the butterflies.

Our chapter uses the Phi Bear for everything. But I can't complain because I could never have enough teddy bears!
