I've always been a fan of the mascots for Western Illinois - the men are the Leathernecks, and the women are the Westerwinds.

The MASCOT is Rocky the Bulldog. 
The team's nicknames are the Leathernecks and the Westerwinds. The dance team used to be the "Wranglers" (yes, they did used to wear cowboy hats and boots) but then they got taken over by faculty that actually gave a $hit, kicked off the bad apples, and are now the "Westernettes". The colorguard are the Westernaires.

When I was at WIU, the women's teams did not use Rocky...they had their own logo/mascot. I know the administration was worried that some people would call the women's teams the "Lady Leathers", which would not go over well in conservative Macomb, Illinois.
I miss the Wranglers, though. They were pretty entertaining...I mean for the stories of their misbehavior, not so much for their dancing.

So true. If they were Greek, they would have been shut down for hazing in no time flat. And their dancing was entertaining, if you were the kind of person that finds strip clubs entertaining.

Then again, there are the Williams College Ephs. Their mascot is a purple cow. I found this out researching a cross country runner who beat our star in a big meet. Here's their athletics page.
