Some ZTA chapters use Ariel because of the thing about our symbols being hidden in the Little Mermaid. But definitely has a high potential for copyright infringement. There's some other things I have to say about it but I think I'll leave that business to PMs

On the other hand, don't a lot of DG chapters use Raggedy Ann - I'm sure the copyright argument could be used there as well...

Whoa, Greek Pages back up???!!!

ETA: Wrong site

DG's official mascot is named Hannah, and is usually depicted as being similar to Raggedy Ann, but is not Raggedy Ann for copyright purposes. For this same reason, many ASA chapters stopped using the Raggedy Ann as our mascot.

Our official mascot is Hannah who has taken on the appearance of Raggedy Ann, but I think back in the day Hannah was more of a little blonde pig-tailed girl in a sailor outfit =]
