What are your GLO's COLORS, MASCOTS & SYMBOLS????
 

I thought this would be interesting; (to me at least) I know a lot of the basics about my other NPC sororities and IFC orgs, but I don't know much about the Locals who post here.
Thought this might be especially good during this recruitment time of year!

What are your traditions and symbols?


Since I'm asking all of you, I'll share some of ours:
Alpha Delta Pi was founded in 1851 at Wesleyan Female College in Macon, Georgia. Phi Mu sorority was founded shortly after us on the same campus in 1852.
Founders Day:
May 15th
Official Colors
Azure Blue and White are the official colors of Alpha Delta Pi. Blue is symbolic of friendship, the basic spirit upon which Alpha Delta Pi is founded. White symbolizes sincerity and truth. Alpha Delta Pi seeks sincerity and truthfulness in all its members.
Mascot
The lion is the mascot of Alpha Delta Pi. Our mascot is nicknamed "Alphie."
Official Flower
The woodland violet, which grows wild, is the official flower. Because it is unavailable for purchase, African violets are often used to symbolize the woodland violet.
Open Motto
"We live for each other," is the open motto of Alpha Delta Pi.

Omega Tau Pi was founded in 1994 on the campus of Southern University in Baton Rouge, La.

gamma phi omega- lake forest college
 

gamma phi omega was founded in 1988 at Lake Forest College. the founders found a picture of the former gamma phi beta chapter in an old yearbook and were inspired to create a new local - hence the "gamma phi" tribute - and the omega personalized it.

colors: pink and blue
crest: it had several panels, but i only remember that one had chain links for the bonds of friendship. and another had daisies, and one represented scholarly pursuit, i think.

in 2004, all three local sororities on campus went national. we became delta gamma (woo!), and the others became kappa alpha theta and tri-delta.

Very cool.

Very interesting. Am I correct in reading that there were two locals founded at Rhode Island College last year?

Yes, you are correct and there is a third in the works! :D

Very exciting! Good luck to all the groups! It sounds like there was definitely a strong need not being met at RIC. I'm originally from MA so I love hearing about new chapters & organizations in the area.


Do all the orgs plan to stay local?

Thank you!! :) Zeta plans on remaining local for now but we would like to expand to other campuses in the future. As far as the other two sororities, Sigma Iota Theta and Phi Theta Psi (in the works), I am not sure what there plans are.

Now all we need to do is bring some fraternities to campus! LOL. :)

PHI EPSILON ALPHA

Mascot: Tropical Fish
Elements: Silver & Gold


We were founded when Delta Zeta's nationals did some rearranging of the executive board and some of the women were not happy with that. Twelve of those women went on to found Phi Ep. Some DZ alum also assisted those women in creating the sorority, and one even got kicked out soon after. Hearing the story (FROM two of our founders and the DZ alum) made it so much more meaningful to be local! I love it!
