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.

We have a big pot of ivy sitting by our door. We have deferred recruitment, so I remember walking by and thinking that it was weird because ivy usually grows as a vine, but our houses are university owned, so I don't think we're allowed to do any of our own landscaping. Also, we have fake ivy garlands with bordeaux ribbons above all the windows in our chapter room.

The KKG house at William and Mary has a beautiful iris garden on the side of the house.
Every college campus we visited in the Admissions Process that had an SAE chapter with a house had lions.

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!

As our flower is the woodland violet, a wildflower, we don't tend to "plant" them.  |
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.
