Supposedly ASA has no national (i.e. mandated in our national bylaws) mascot. I think they had to say that because even though a lot of chapters use Raggedy Ann and that's what we're told when pledging, Bobbs-Merrill or whoever owns her was getting P.O.'d and wanted $$$ for using it. Our local was turtles when I pledged and I have to say it is still taking me a while to get used to the ladybugs - some of the ladybugs look more like roaches. We have 2 chapters in KS that use apples everywhere - I think they even go by the nickname apples.
