Does your GLO's house have its flowers/mascots in its yard?

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...

The Tri Delta chapter at Ohio State has pansies planted in the front yard of their home.

I don't know much about White Violets, but as far as strawberries go...

I grew up in Michigan, and some of my fondest summer memories as a child are going to the strawberry patch. I think my belly ended up being as full as my basket. I live in Ohio now, and have plans to take my kids next week to a local pick your own strawberry farm.

Though I suppose that "strawberry season" here doesn't coincide with the school year - perhaps that's more what you were getting at?

Yeah, sorry -- should have said that!

Gotcha - makes much more sense then. I was thinking...hmmn, if strawberries grow well in Michigan and Ohio, I'd imagine they would do so in Illinois. lol
