question
 

what is the mascot for Phi Beta Sigma?

Good question. The political answer is the black man being that we can't be stereotyped. There are other answers though. Some chapters use the blue devil. Others use the wolf. Some use the camel. Some use the white lion. Last time I checked nationally there isn't one. I'll check with some of the bros I know and see if there ever was one.

Someone else sent me an email concerning the same point. The way I understand is that the dove is the mascot of Zeta Phi Beta Sigma and the cat is the motto of ZPhiB. I may be wrong. I talked to my parents about this (mom Iota '78 father Beta Xi '79). They said that sounded about right. I'm in this to learn so please let me know if I am wrong.

I think people are incorrectly using the term "mascot" in place of "symbol" in this scenario. The Dove and the Crescent are symbols used by Sigma that have meanings known only to members. Phi Beta Sigma does not have an official "mascot".

I concur Frat!!!

outside
 

:) from an outside stand point Phi Beta Sigma's symbol is a dove, Zeta is a cat, Omega is a dog, AphiA is an ape, Nupes are the playboy bunny, Dst is the Elephant, Aka is ivy, Iota is the centaur, and Sgrho is a dog. :cool: thats just my stand point.

Re: outside
 

The offical symbol of Zeta Phi Beta Sorority, Inc. is a Dove not a "cat". Thats from an inside stand point.;)

Re: Re: outside
 

Thank you Soror for clarifying that. I was about to put my two cents in it.
:D ;) :) This is from an inside stand point as well.

thats y im here.......to learn;)

Re: outside
 

The elephant is not an official symbol or mascot of Delta Sigma Theta.
This is also from an inside stand point ;)

elephant
 

i was told that the elephant became the mascot after one of your founders died. She had a collection of them.;)

Re: outside
 

:eek: You gotta a sista about to faint. From the inside again, Sigma Gamma Rho's official mascot is not just a "dog". Our mascot is the elegant and refined French Toy Poodle.

Are the people who "tell" you these things members of our respective organizations???

I think what he meant by this statement is that people who are not members of these resceptive organizations will assume or come to the conclusion that this is what represents them because it's what they see......................For example the Alpha's on our campus have little apes on their line jackets, so an "outsider" might assume that that represents them..........even though it might not be necessarily so...............

Help me up!
 

Whew! I just about fainted myself! A "dog"? :eek:

Waz up Frat
 

I thought the dove was your "mascot" like in ours. I could be wrong but I do see some people walking aroung with a devil on their crossing jackets. That is a very interesting question.

:)

Sorors....Thank You for clarifying for 'CHAMPION' in regards to our National =Symbol= not =Mascot=.

IMO Mascots are what Colleges and High Schools have....not Black Greek Letter Organizations.

As far as the other organizations mentioned.....I would suggest prospectives research that information. As a prospective for ANY of our organizations you don't want to insult anyone by making a false statement.

:)

SoRhor Jojopeach,

Thank you for setting the record straight about our blue-ti-ful and classy french toy poodle!

Serioussigma22:cool:


I must have my two rubies with my ten pearls!;)

A DOG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 

Just had to concur with my soRHOrs....
It was not a dog...is not a dog...and will never be a "dog"
A beagle is a dog, a rottweiler is a dog, a pit bull is a dog....

SIGMA GAMMA RHO SORORITY INC. OFFICIAL MASCOT IS THE FRENCH TOY POODLE...SIGNIFYING ELEGANCE AND CLASS!!!

GET IT RIGHT!!!!!

not trying to be funny or anything, but the last time I checked, a poodle was a dog. No matter how you dress it up, it's still a dog. That just like dressing a jackass in the finest Gucci collection...one way or the other, he's still a jackass.

Touche
 

Give the man a cyber cookie because he is right. Poodles are wimpy. It's still a dog but of the wimpy breed of dogs.

I am still in awe @ "Our mascot is the elegant and refined French Toy Poodle. This so called elegant and refined dog still shits on trees and pisses on fire hyrants just like a beagle, rottweiler, and pit bull. Or do y'all poodles wear diapers.
:confused: :rolleyes:

Doggy Doo?
 

:p :p :p

That's mean y'all talking about their mascot like that.

I am an avid dog lover and yes a french poodle, though highly intelligent and refined, is STILL a dog.

No reflection of the ladies in your organization though.
;) ;) ;)

ARE U SERIOUS???
 

YES...IT IS STILL A DOG...AND A DOVE IS A BIRD...AND AN IVY IS A PLANT. GREAT...SOMEONE KNOWS THEIR CATERGORIES...

BUT...
THE CLARIFICATION IS THE POINT. IF YOU SAY IT'S A DOG...THEN IT COULD BE ANY DOG. SO ONCE AGAIN IT IS A POODLE. WELL ANY ANIMAL SH*TS, BUT THE POINT IS WHAT IT STANDS FOR, AND THE POODLE IS ELEGANT AND REFINED...EVER WATCH DOG SHOWS ON ANIMAL PLANET?:rolleyes: :D
WHAT I WAS TRYING TO SAY IN MY PREVIOUS POST IS THAT IT IS NOT JUST A DOG... I GUESS I FORGOT TO ADD THAT WORD...SO SORRY!
SO THANKS FOR YOUR WONDERFUL EXACTIFICATIONS, BUT IF YOU SAY HEY PRETTY 'DOG'...U WILL BE IGNORED :p

THAT PRETTY POODLE OF SGRHO

At most of the schools up-the-way & at the "MIGHTY GAMMA CHAPTER", founded 1916 in B-more... We are the Son's of Fire & Brimstone. The SIGMA Devil... "Up jumped the Devil's of PHI BETA SIGMA!"[*chanting*] It is NOT really a "mascot", but more of an alter-ego. BLUUU PHIII!!!
