My chapter used the teddy bear as its mascot but our PP came down hard on us for that. I remember her saying "Crest, crown, strawberries! No bears, no bunnies!" We had no idea what she was talking about re: bunnies. I have collected a few rabbit things over the years and people always thought it was because of Zeta but I had already graduated college when I found out that bunnies were considered a Zeta thing.
My pet rabbit is gray and I would like to find a turquoise collar for him but they don't make them small enough.
Supposedly the reason bunnies are considered a Zeta thing is because 50+ years ago there was a song called "Cuddle Bunny" that was about a Zeta and her sweetheart. It was very popular on campuses. Also one of the Founders raised rabbits and was well-known in Virginia for that but I don't know if that had anything to do with it.
