Flute - I was so thrilled that my rusher at this house was from my hometown! I didn't know her previously, but the more we got to chatting, the more I was surprised that our paths had never crossed in high school. She had gone to the closest neighboring school to my own and we had been involved in a couple of similar activities. This sorority's mascot was an animal that I'd actually had as a childhood pet - a highly unusual pet, let me assure you. (You may have an idea of which chapter this is, but please keep it to yourself!) I mentioned to the girl that I'd kept their mascot as a pet, and her face lit up. She said their chapter had been looking into adopting one to keep at the house, and she immediately called over two other girls. The three of them began drilling me on the care and keeping of this animal, and I answered all their questions to the best of my ability. They were nice to me, but when I left the house I regretted that I'd spent almost my entire time there talking about my pet rather than myself. Also, I had been hearing a lot about this house's less-than-stellar reputation.

Hmm...... Owl? Turtle? Squirrel? Lion? Giraffe? Surely not a giraffe...

Lion, actually.

I also read sarcasm into the lion response.

For the record, some sororities do still have local mascots. The "pet" could be one of these.
