I know for any FIJI the snowy white owl Gamma usually adorns the chapter house and is reconized as the fraternity's mascot

At Mercer, you see Kappa Sig using the alligator, ATO using the viking, SAE using the lion, and Sigma Nu using the snake. I think the other 4 might have them but they aren't used around our campus.

On my campus I know AEPi uses the lion but I have no idea if the other 3 fraternities on my campus, ZBT, Sammy and APD, have official mascots. On my campus at I think ZBT used Taz and Sammy used Yosemite Sam unofficially but they can't be official mascots since they are copyrighted

Some do, some don't. We have no official mascot because no animal is capable of representing the ideals of Phi Kappa Psi.

Some chapters have mascots, and that's usually a brother's dog. Some chapters will have a St. Bernard, and the most popular name for a Phi Psi St. Bernard is Psimon.

I think Zeta Psi uses the Tasmanian Devil. Also, I think some fraternity may use the phoenix. I think I know which one it is, but I'm not 100% sure, so I don't want to say anything that's not true.

Hmm, well like someone else said Fiji has the owl, SAE has the lion...Sigma Nu has the snake...they call their fall semiformal Snakes on the Lake...I always wanted to get invited so I could have a tshirt that said that haha.

I know Beta Theta Pi has the dragon, but I don't know if they consider it a mascot?

One of the Ag fraternities, Farmhouse or maybe AGR here uses the plow as a symbol/mascot thing. I am pretty sure it's AgRho though...

Other than that though I can't think of any other fraternities that have mascots, at least at my school anyway...maybe Jules knows of some others.

Oh yeah we know about FIJI's owl here at Akron. A few years ago one of the sororities stole it then broke it on the road. Man that made the FIJI's mad. They didnt mean to drop it but were running with it. Not my sorority but I remember how they got back at them.

ADPi and FIJI always had a nice little prank thing going with each other. It was always fun...

It's not official as far as I know, but the Pikes often use Dalmations and/or fire trucks as a mascot. There's a really cool story behind it, but I can't remember enough details off the top of my head... I'll ask about it tonight.

I bet that's left over from the 1970s & '80s when all the Kappa Sigs wore Izods!!! LOL

Our old guys made baseball t-shirts that said SNAKES on the front, with their #'s on the back for bid house one year. Their girlfriends' shirts were exactly the same, 'cept they read SNAKED on the front

But it's not techinally a mascot, it's just a symbol that we use on our badge and crest. Now, most chapters will go and get a real snake as a mascot.

It has a meaning behind it, but of course i'm not gonna share that with y'all that don't know


unless you're alexandra robbins, she's HAWT

Our chapter actually has a mascot. It's a stuffed snake named Charlie. I think it was originally given to one of our members by either an Alpha Xi Delta or Delta Zeta (can't remember). Since then, it's spent time (stolen) at both of their chapter houses and even resided somewhere down in Texas for awhile.

Charlie's back now and kept in a secret location -- if I told you, I'd have to kill you.

But how's this: "Unofficial" mascot..?

YEah the little guy on the table is a stuffed snowy white owl that has been with the chapter for about two years and the interesting part is that he has "outfits" for different events: santa, halloween, tux, fratastic, toga... It has gotten worst since the build a bear clothing was found out to fit him yeah the girls that come by the house or to an event get a kick out of seeing him especially when at Anchor Splash he sported swim trunks with FIJI on the back
