Should pearls be made our official jewel?

[Sciencewoman]

At the 2008 Convention, there was a motion to form a task force to look into making the old "Gammy Bug" our mascot. I can't remember if the resolution to form a task force didn't pass or the task force came back with a "no," but that idea went by the wayside, too. Thank God. Do any of you know what that Gammy Bug looks like? There was a picture of it on my pledge manual cover. It had a pledge pin for a body, and stick legs and a head with antennae.

I liked the Gammy Bug, but only in a "retro cool" kind of way. I like not having a mascot, but the pearl is so commonly associated with us that I liked the idea of making it official. Official or not, it's certainly what many Gamma Phis and most other NPC women I know associate with us.
