Does your GLO's house have its flowers/mascots in its yard?
Just something I began to notice a few weeks ago. In the front yard of ADPi and SAE they have lion statues and we (AOII) have little red and white flowers planted. Up until a few months ago, ZTA had pink ribbons hanging from their windows in the shape of the breast cancer ribbon. Also, Tri Delt has 3 pines in their yard.
Anyone else notice if your or other GLO's have their flowers,colors or mascots somewhere outside of their house?

Our house was red and white brick...that counts, too, right? 
Oh, and ditto on the ladybugs...(although in IL, they were those Japanese kind that bite).

I think most DG houses have anchors in the front yard.

We had one in the backyard, too.

Although not an official mascot of Delta, Delta Nu has an elephant fountain on our plot. His name is Bubbles.

I was at Vanderbilt not long ago and noticed the lovely pansies in the yard of the Theta house.

Those nasty ladybugs are no ladies! They're everywhere!!
Most Alpha Delta Pi houses have lions at the gate or door - at least, the houses I've seen. Our suite has them, and they're verging on TOO big!

I was a collegian during AOII's 100th anniversary. My chapter bought General Jaqueminot rose bushes to plant in front of the sorority dorm. We had always heard that they were a very deep red rose with NO thorns! Imagine our surprise when those thorny things started growing with pinky-red petalled flowers! Oh well, maybe that was the reddest rose around 100 years ago.

My chapter house has a lion statue in the front yard. At UCLA, there are matching lion statues on either side of the top stairs, if memory serves...
As our flower is the woodland violet, a wildflower, we don't tend to "plant" them.
