Local mascots?

My chapter has a local mascot (penguin), and I was just wondering if other chapters do as well. Is that a common thing? Thanks ladies!

We didn't, but a lot of chapters use the Snake.

I like snakes enough that I wish we had.

We didn't. We did have some family mascots though. I know there was a bear family and a cow family. I tried to get mine going as the penguin family (sadly obssessed with them) but no one but me was for it.

haha.. we had the grey squirrel as our mascot! i think mainly for the reason that squirrels out-number students on my campus 3 to 1!

(but i have to admit that i kind of found them cute, and i really liked it.. i used to tell all our new members "welcome to the nut house"

)

I was a member of the DIVA family & we had one but I can't say what it was b/c it was a *secret* that you learned at the family initiation.

LOL!
In all seriousness, it was harmless & really fun at the time.

I have 19 stuffed penguins. Not kidding. I think 15 of them are the same kind of penguin too. Toys R Us makes awesome penguins.
I wish our chapter had a mascot...

I can't even begin to guess at how many I have! My poor husband when we started staying with each other he had to share the bed with my fav stuffed penguin.

When I go visit my guy for the weekend, I usually bring along this giant stuffed chocolate lab he bought me (yes I did coerce him into it!). He fell in love with my mini chocolate lab and I have a stuffed tiger I sleep with. I have to have some stuffed animal to hold when I sleep or I can't sleep. Yes I am almost 23 and yes I still do love stuffed animals.
I named my stuffed penguins after world leaders because they were stuffed emperor penguins. Napoleon, Churchill, Kim (Jong Il-wrong I know), Blair, Elizabeth...
I am a five year old in an adult's body. Good thing boyf likes that about me

the mascot for the sig kap chapter on my campus is the butterfly

BetteDavisEyes · #11 04-02-2008, 09:06 PM

A butterfly is cute but I wonder how they chose that?

cantwait08 · #12 04-03-2008, 02:40 PM

i have no idea but i am so glad that its something that can be found anywhere unlike some other mascots

The University of Memphis chose the butterfly as our local mascot in 2000. Our advisor told us that the reason they chose it is because they wanted a local mascot and that's what the chapter passed with a 2/3 majority. I have no idea what else was up for a mascot though...

I am WAY late to this conversation, but my chapter uses a gator for our mascot. Our advisor that helped start our chapter in 1991 was from Florida and was a huge gators fan, so we have a BUNCH of songs and chants and stuff with the gator in it. And there are stuffed alligators all around our house, and passed during big/lil week and stuff. i love having a fierce animal! haha better then a butterfly in my opinion. haha just kidding!

Sorry for interrupting, but the Sigma Kappa Chapter (now closed) at Northeast Louisiana University used ducks as their chapter mascot. We had a dorm split into four wings for the four sororities on campus, and each group decorated their windows. Sigma Kappa had an awesome decoration with Sig Kap and ducks from Suzy's Zoo. I totally ripped them off when I made AOIIs window decorations the next year....of course, the material we used turned out to be flammable. C'est la vie!
