Our founders didn't feel the need to establish a mascot, so I don't see the need to identify one now...especially something that, frankly, looks very childish.

I've only seen the Gammy Bug in materials from HQ and one nationally distributed item - on a local level in the 80s when I pledged it really only came up during pledgeship. I did have a large plastic cup with the Gammy Bug - I'm going to do some research and see what I can find. I agree with you that we don't need a mascot. I love the elegant simplicity of our crescent, and like our colors, I like that it is ours alone in the NPC world - of course, some fraternities have crescents, too.
