I think some of the SKs on here said that they were trying to move away from the snake because they're not exactly cuddly.
And this is from the old DG webpage about Hannah:
Although the song about "Hannah" is known by many Delta Gammas and has been generally sung since the '30s, its origins go back to an earlier date to a vaudeville ditty, "Hannah from Indiana," written by R.H. Wilson who, many years later, would be a Delta Gamma father. In the late '50s, "Hannah" became a perky, pigtailed blonde, wearing a short skirt and sailor blouse. This "Hannah" became known Fraternity-wide as the model for the "Hannah" Delta Gammas had sung about for so long.
There's more info on the new webpage, but my computer is so incredibly slow it would take me 5 minutes to pull it up. Most people are probably familiar with Hannah as a Raggedy-Ann doll, but she can't *officially* be that because of copyright infringements.
