Favorite Mascot/Symbol

I really do love DZ's turtle the best, but I freely admit to being biased!

I really like Chi Omega's owl - I always see lots of cute owl stuff. Also, ZTA's crown is really cool. I remember reading on here long ago how the sisters of one ZTA chapter had a "buzz phrase" they'd use whenever they were out and another sister wasn't acting like a lady. "Your crown is crooked." I thought that was cool

I really like the fleur de lis (and actually have quite a few of them as part of my living room design) and the turtle.

I think its great to see a few people saying they like the Sphinx!! Its such a difficult thing to buy - there are never 'cute' sphinxes! I have this little Sphinx thing that my BSP sister Jamie (betasigrose) gave me, it does kind of scare me at times, but its special and I <3 it! (see, the sphinx is scary!)

I think the reason many Phi Sig chapters have 'local' mascots/symbols is because of the sphinx... you cant find cute stuffed sphinxes to give out on bid day etc!

Our local mascot is the teddy bear (I have WAY too many) and symbol is the sun...

As far as mascots go - I am incredibly partial to Delta Sigma Theta's mascot. Anyone who knows me knows of my elephant obsession... to be part of a sorority that would enable me? Id faint. (PS to any DST's I should get a good pic of this awesome sketch I have... hmmm)

I also enjoy the lyre from AChiO, since its also a TBS symbol and music rocks... I like the key from Kappa (I have a cool old fashioned key I got as a kid... I joke that its the key to my heart!) I also like the compass for TPA... they suffer from symbol-itis too... you cant find things with a cute compass on them - but fortunately they have a penguin to back it up!

Since I already mentioned mascots, I'll talk about symbols now.

I like Alpha Chi Omega's lyre.

Alpha Xi Delta's quill represents its motto quite well.

The lamp of Delta Zeta and the torch of Sigma Delta Tau look great on their pins.

The compass of Theta Phi Alpha is quite an original and distinctive symbol.
