[MysticCat]

Phi Mu Alpha has never had an official mascot, but early on in our history an enigmatic black cat, known as the "Mystic Cat," became part of our lore. At one point, our national publication was called "The Mystic Cat"; the Mystic Cat appeared on the cover of our first songbook, and for a while, new members were sometimes nicknamed "kittens."

No one really knows anything about the origin of the Mystic Cat. As one song said:

"The most mysterious mystery is our mighty mystic cat,
He prowls about our chapter rooms and waxes sleek and fat;
We wonder what and where he is, but all to no avail --
He's a mystery from his mystic nose to the tip of his mystic tail."

The Mystic Cat has enjoyed something of a revival in the last decade or two, so I guess one could perhaps say that the Mystic Cat is our unofficial mascot.
