Gamma Phi Beta does have an international mascot, it's the Gammie Bug, but I don't think that it is widely used. I didn't even know about it until the recent edition of our history book came out a couple years back. So a lot of chapters adopted their own.

As far as colors go, from my understanding a lot of sisters aren't too fond of using two shades of brown for several reasons. So they adopt a local set of colors (some are held over from locals prior to their international charter).

And about the nicknames, I've heard several....G Phi B, Gamma Phi, Gammas....I guess it just depends on what the individual chapters prefer.
