oh yeah...i forgot to mention that my family chose the monkey as our mascot. we used to have two families into one calling it the ellemouse but now my family is one of the biggest in the chapter!!!

I seriously need pictures of this.. soo thumb and pointers make the heart... middle fingers make the triangle and ring and pinkies make the dove wings?

maybe i'm just the resident cynic :confused:

As you see in the pics, it doesn't really. I'm glad that we have something! We did once try making sigmas by crossing our middle and ring fingers. But it's hard to do on the fly... so to speak.

We thought about that way too but figured it was a little to gangster! :) Besides, everyone would assume we were just repping the WESTSIDE! :D

Well if you yell Sigmas at the same time, I guess it works. But yeah, didn't work. I'll try to spread the Dove and the hearts though :D

My chapter at Florida does the heart with dove wings too! I asked someone about it and they said it was our universal handsign, so I thought everyone did it that way?

I am totally late for this thread but I just read and to add...

I was in the bumble bee family so I guess that was our family mascot! I have a few stuffed bumblebees and love everything bumblebees=D

Also, I totally love penguins I had no idea it was such a big deal for everyone else too! That is too cool! It's really between my boyfriend and I and lately we have really loved seeing all the penguin movies. My boyfriend bought me a glass penguin and I recently bought him a stuffed one! I named him "Promise" as in I promise to love him forever! We are so lame. =D

the mascot for the sig kap chapter on my campus is the butterfly

BetteDavisEyes 04-02-2008 09:06 PM

A butterfly is cute but I wonder how they chose that?

cantwait08 04-03-2008 02:40 PM

i have no idea but i am so glad that its something that can be found anywhere unlike some other mascots

sairston1874 05-04-2008 05:40 PM

The University of Memphis chose the butterfly as our local mascot in 2000. Our advisor told us that the reason they chose it is because they wanted a local mascot and that's what the chapter passed with a 2/3 majority. I have no idea what else was up for a mascot though...

sigmakappagirl 09-03-2008 04:33 PM

I am WAY late to this conversation, but my chapter uses a gator for our mascot. Our advisor that helped start our chapter in 1991 was from Florida and was a huge gators fan, so we have a BUNCH of songs and chants and stuff with the gator in it. And there are stuffed alligators all around our house, and passed during big/lil week and stuff. i love having a fierce animal! haha better then a butterfly in my opinion. haha just kidding! :)

Sorry for interrupting, but the Sigma Kappa Chapter (now closed) at Northeast Louisiana University used ducks as their chapter mascot. We had a dorm split into four wings for the four sororities on campus, and each group decorated their windows. Sigma Kappa had an awesome decoration with Sig Kap and ducks from Suzy's Zoo. I totally ripped them off when I made AOIIs window decorations the next year....of course, the material we used turned out to be flammable. C'est la vie!
