Favorite Mascot/Symbol
 

Besides your own, of course.

i actually don't know that much about all the GLO's masacots...
AZD's is Bet-Xi Bear....my chapter just used the teddy bear and grateful dead bears locally.

Ours is Charlie -- a stuffed snake. The Alpha Xi Deltas keep stealing him though... No idea where he currently resides... He was with someone in Texas for a while..

Not my mascot but I really like the Sooner Schooner. So unique in football traditions... If you're not aware of what that is, it's a mini wagon drawn by two miniature horses that runs around the field when Oklahom scores a touchdown.

I like the Pike's fire truck.

Hmm, I wonder if I can recall that many of them.
Okay, maybe its not a "mascot," but I love the Theta Kite symbol. I also read on GC that Walt Disney had "Let's Go Fly A Kite" written in honor of his Theta wife and daughters, which I think is the sweetest thing ever. (I love Mary Poppins--huge Julie Andrews fan-and I love that song.)
I think the Tri-Delt dolpin is very original.
I think it's great that both Phi Mu and ADPi have Lions as mascots since were founded at the same school within a year of each other!

I suppose you'd call it a symbol moreso than a mascot, but AKA/APhi's use of the Ivy leaf.

Is it Gamma Phi Beta who uses the palm tree?

Here are a few mascots and why I like them:

- Alpha Delta Pi and Phi Mu: I like the lion because I am a big Narnia fan.
- Alpha Epsilon Phi: I like their reason for choosing the giraffe. I was given a giraffe puppet at work for my outreaches.
- Alpha Omicron Pi: The panda is quite nifty.
- Alpha Xi Delta: BetXi Bear has a really pretty dress
- Chi Omega and Kappa Kappa Gamma: Owls are the symbol of wisdom.
- Delta Gamma: I like the concept of the Hannah doll
- Delta Delta Delta: Dolphins are totally awesome
- Delta Phi Epsilon: Wow, an unicorn. I wonder why they chose a fantasy animal.
- Delta Zeta: I think the turtle is totally cute and very original.
- Pi Beta Phi: I like angels. I like wings.
- Sigma Kappa: Can't help but love the dove- it's what my family name means.
- Theta Phi Alpha: The penguin is the favorite animal of one of my best friends; so when I see penguins, I automatically think of her.

GRW ----- 19 GAMMA RHO OMEGA GRAND FRATERNITY & SORORITY 45

G R W --- GAMMA RHO OMEGA GRAND FRATERNITY & SORORITY 1945

I don't think GPhiB does, but ASA does.:)

i like dg's anchor and phi sigma sigma's sphinx-you can't get much more mysterious than a sphinx!!

I'm a fan of Tri-Delt's dolphin, AOPi's panda, and Chi Omega's owl.

OPhiA's mascot is Raggedy Ann, whom we call "Ophia" (pronounced oh-fee-uh). Which is cute, but...animals are much easier, both to buy stuff of and draw (it's awfully hard to draw one while chalking!).

In my local chapter, each family has its own mascot too, which makes buying gifts for littles easier. We have Theta Frogs (my family), Delta Ducks, Xi Tigers, Omega Ladybugs, and Rho Cows. :)

I love Theta Phi Alpha's penguin, Tri Delta's dolphin, Kappa's fleur de lis, and Sigma Kappa/Zeta Phi Beta's dove. And, of course, Delta Upsilon's, duck.

I love the lions of ADPi and Phi Mu, the unicorn of DphiE and the giraffe of AEPhi

- Delta Phi Epsilon: Wow, an unicorn. I wonder why they chose a fantasy animal.[QUOTE]

I can tell you it was selected during the early 1980's when unicorns were very popular. Some of our sisters LOVE the unicorn, particularly our collegiate members.

In terms of mascots--My favorite would be the Alpha Gamma Delta squirrel. I really like Theta Phi Alpha's penguin too.

I wish ZTA had a national mascot, but I did love our chapter mascot of the Zebra at UF.

I do love Tri-Delta's dolphin. I have always loved dolphins, and have lots of dolphin jewelry. I've always loved the sea, and have been attracted and fascinated to these beautiful animals.

I like Kappa Alpha Theta's kite and Pi Beta Phi's arrow...both remind me that sororities "aim high."

Of course, I find myself falling in love with every ladybug item that I see, and I think that ASA's palm tree is a great symbol.

Phi Mu's Lion.

Nice.;)

Kappa Kappa Gamma's Fleur de lis, Zeta Tau Alpha's local mascot (butterfly).

Since the thread is favorite mascot/symbol, I just wanted to say that I like ZTA's crown. I've seen such cute recruitment shirts using the crown.

I love love love Kappa Alpha Theta's kite!! It is just such a great symbol in so many ways.

I also really like Tri-Sigma's sailboat (much for the same reason I adore our anchor) - it's easy to do nautical themes (for everything...rooms, etc. -- my classroom has anchors everywhere! haha) and you can have some great meaningful slogans: Drop Anchor in DG or for Tri-Sigma - Set sail with Tri-Sigma, etc.

Of course I love our lion, but that wasn't our first mascot. The Adelpheans had two previous mascots before settling on our lion.

I also love Chi Omega's owl... Some days I wish I were a Chi Omega so I could buy all the cute owls I see when shopping!

The Fleur de Lis,
The Crown,
The Kite,
The Unicorn,
The Dolphin....

Coming soon, the Book!;)

I really do love DZ's turtle the best, but I freely admit to being biased!

I really like Chi Omega's owl - I always see lots of cute owl stuff. Also, ZTA's crown is really cool. I remember reading on here long ago how the sisters of one ZTA chapter had a "buzz phrase" they'd use whenever they were out and another sister wasn't acting like a lady. "Your crown is crooked." I thought that was cool :)

I really like the fleur de lis (and actually have quite a few of them as part of my living room design) and the turtle.

I think its great to see a few people saying they like the Sphinx!! Its such a difficult thing to buy - there are never 'cute' sphinxes! I have this little Sphinx thing that my BSP sister Jamie (betasigrose) gave me, it does kind of scare me at times, but its special and I <3 it! (see, the sphinx is scary!)

I think the reason many Phi Sig chapters have 'local' mascots/symbols is because of the sphinx... you cant find cute stuffed sphinxes to give out on bid day etc!

Our local mascot is the teddy bear (I have WAY too many) and symbol is the sun...


As far as mascots go - I am incredibly partial to Delta Sigma Theta's mascot. Anyone who knows me knows of my elephant obsession... to be part of a sorority that would enable me? Id faint. (PS to any DST's I should get a good pic of this awesome sketch I have... hmmm)

I also enjoy the lyre from AChiO, since its also a TBS symbol and music rocks... I like the key from Kappa (I have a cool old fashioned key I got as a kid... I joke that its the key to my heart!) I also like the compass for TPA... they suffer from symbol-itis too... you cant find things with a cute compass on them - but fortunately they have a penguin to back it up!

Since I already mentioned mascots, I'll talk about symbols now.

I like Alpha Chi Omega's lyre.

Alpha Xi Delta's quill represents its motto quite well.

The lamp of Delta Zeta and the torch of Sigma Delta Tau look great on their pins.

The compass of Theta Phi Alpha is quite an original and distinctive symbol.
