Why of course!!! Some do but most have the stuffed kind. And I have many (all colors, sizes, styles) and somehow I can never have too many.

Symbols/mascots: owl, key, fleur-de-lis. We kind of get an extra symbol because our flower is the iris. :-)

I really like our tagline! Our Kappa Trainers and workshops always emphasize empowering women to be leaders, not just within our own chapters (ie officer positions) but in our personal lives and long after we graduate. You don't necessarily need to be elected to lead

[DreamfulSpirit]

Official Mascot: Raggedy Ann, but we call her Ophia

[Scully]

The flower is technically the fleur-de-lis, which is most often represented by the iris. (I just checked the website, because I wasn't 100% positive on that).

The tagline "Tradition of Leadership" came about after surveying a number of members - both active and alumna - and combining their answers into one concise message. I also love it.

I love, love, love Kappa's symbols.

The Fleur de lis can be found all over Florence, Italy. It seems like it was the symbol of the city. It is also the flower of the Virgin Mary.

I thought I remembered making a thread about taglines a while back...
http://www.greekchat.com/gcforums/sh...light=taglines
It looks like somethings have changed since then.

[SWTXBelle]

Sorry I missed it, AOIIAngel. And yes, things have changed!

[Smile_Awhile]

Our new tagline is "Real. Strong. Women." I really, REALLY love it, and it makes so much sense when you see the video they used to premiere it. It's only been around for about a year now...

Our symbol is the lyre, but no mascot (though I've heard some chapters have individual mascots).

I like it, too, Smile_Awhile. Each word stands alone with a meaning and together as a separate meaning. Cute!

I was not the biggest fan of AOIIs branding...I hate that it's lowercase and that the logo is outlined in black (looks almost sinister!) In the end, I embraced it because what else am I going to do?!

Kind of an aside, but when our new visual identity was unveiled in 2006, it was mentioned in the presentation that the agency that created the visual identity/marketing strategy for us -- Richard Harrison Bailey/The Agency (or RHB) in South Bend and Indianapolis -- had done similar work for over 25 fraternities and sororities. I wonder how many of the taglines in this thread (and the visiual identities of which they are usually part) were desgined by RBH.

And I know SWTXBelle asked about sororities, but since I've posted anyway, ours is: Among Men Harmony (colored as in my signature). It has proven to be really popular.

Like Alpha Chi Omega, we use the lyre as a symbol. The visual identity also included a new take on our lyre (the strings can be black or gold):

Theta Phi's tagline is Ever Loyal, Ever Lasting.
Our mascot is the penguin and symbol is the compass.

[DoubleTDG]

DG's new one is "for hope; for strength; for life".

Okay, so I'll actually fill in the AOII blanks:

Motto: secret
Tagline: exceed the expectation
Flower: General Jacqueminot Rose
Stone: Ruby
Color: Cardinal
Unofficial Mascot: Panda
Other Symbol: Sheaf of Wheat

I like that..."exceed the expectation."
