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.

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

Yeah, he is cute. He'd be even cuter if the buildings and grounds folks would run water to him.

There's a sorority at Bama who has a beautiful cast iron railing around the front and supposedly, several of their secrets are worked into it--how cool is that?

One of my first glimpses of Alumnae Panhellenics was our next door neighbor, who insisted on growing pansies every summer! She also kept the latest Trident on the coffee table at all times!

Please don't hate me for posting this, but I think it's gorgeous!:

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.

not here
I am sorry to say that two of our mascots don't grow outside of warm climates.
Strawberries won't grow well north of Missouri.
White Violets (better known as the confederate white violet) only grows in humid areas south of the MD-Line.
The DG thing is very true -- the DG house has a HUGE anchor that is literally 8-10 ft. long!
Maybe we could have a big crown or something? I know a lot of chapters have the Bunny as a symbol too, maybe the bunnies outside count too?
Well at least the house is grey stone -- that means 1/2 of the colors are covered.... maybe blue flowers or shrubs...
