The turtle is not the official mascot of DZ (we have no official mascot), and several of our chapters have other mascots b/c other locals on their campuses already used turtles when DZ first started using them.
The turtle was recognized in the 70's as an "unofficial" mascot to honor one of our Past National Presidents, who was an avid collector of everything turtle related, but it has never been officially adopted, and it is not mentioned on our national web-site along w/the other identifying facts (like emblem, jewel, colors, etc.). Many older DZs do not associate the turtle with DZ at all. So that's basically it!
