 It was the 80's.  Enough said?  I'm sure that's the sort of thing that somebody thought was awfully important, and now it's not worth going through all the marketing/branding to bring Al back.  But I'd bet you a dollar when most collegians use a teddy bear theme in anything it's a traditional bear, not the polka dress girl version.  
 
There's also a persistent rumor that Fozzy Bear was named after Alpha Xi.  I love the story, but sadly, not true.  
 
And of course the quill is the only symbol that REALLY matters to us.
