And don't forget violets for us ADPi's. :)

Or the lily of the valley or forget me not for alpha phi.

ANd we are totally different with Aster and Narciss (sp? I'm having a brain fart) depending on the time of year.

We had a sorority newsletter, The Panhel Post, prior to our Greek Gazette, and the cover incorporated all of the mascots or symbols of each of the sororities on campus. It was cute!

As for Gamma Phi Beta's browns, those are really good colors for me to wear (tans, taupes, browns...), so I like them!

Ok, I think I got all the flowers. I was surprised to see so many violets!

Ok, I got another one....and I have no idea how you'd group this...and this would take some work....

PHILANTHROPIES!


The only suggestion I have for anyone who would take this on is to group the soroites that don't have national philanthropies in one category and maybe those that have to do with disabilities, kids, diseases, etc...



ETA: This has become a great way to find things in common with other soroities that you may have never thought of!:)

Ditto - and they actually work in more formal settings. I like to tease my mom that our family room destined me to be a Gamma Phi because it still has the original 80s brown carpet. :p

I can start the mascots, but have an early (early!!) morning tomorrow:

Sailboat:

Owl:

Anyone care to add or correct any of these?


ETA: As I was checking out some of the other sororities websites, I was very surprised to see how many National/Executive Offices are in Ohio! That could be another catagory - in which state is your NO or EO?

I think that SDT's cafe au lait is brownish so GPhiB is not alone.


DPhiE's mascot is the unicorn. I think that Alpha Phi is the Phi Bear.

The anchor is technically our symbol..... the Hannah doll is our Mascot! ;)

AXiD's mascot is a teddy bear, too.

DG and ASA I suppose could go under a "rag-doll" category.... (we still call ours Raggedy-Ann, but it's not used as much as the ladybug)

Yes, technically our flower is the fleur-de-lis, but since it isn't a flower that grows, we use the iris! So we could be in the iris category as well!

I like to think that we use the fleur-de-lis because it is an ideal, a perfection for which we all strive. The blue iris is the closest thing to a fleur-de-lis that grows in nature.

DPhiE has the lovely purple iris as our flower. I didn't realize that KKG used the blue iris. :) We have good taste in flowers.
