There's no secret to the turtle. He/she/it isn't an "official" mascot, but all our chapters have adopted it. There are all kinds of stories about it. My favorite one is that the turtle can't hear, and our philanthropy is Speech and Hearing Impaired. The truth, though, from what I can gather, is that we adopted the turtle as a mascot in honor of an alumnae who loved turtles. (Her name escapes me right now!) If I'm wrong about this, though, someone correct me. Also, I have no idea if turtles are really deaf.
