Chapter Mascots - Page 3

One line of my family uses angels, and I think we're really going to apply that to the rest because of our family quote: "Music is well said to be the speech of angels."

One of my bigs always had cows for hers, and another family uses turtles for no apparent reason. But angels seems to be our thing, and so it'll probably stick that way.

I wish we had a mascot, but I've been told that it's too "unprofessional" for SAI.

Our national has no animal for its mascot, we have the anchor. Our chapter though has adopted the frog though, there is a whole story why the founders of our chapter chose the frog, it has to do with a Japanese folk story.. I have way too much frog stuff.

We have two mascots so to speak:

1) Doobie IV : a ceramic monkey on a surfboard we've had for years since we resurfaced on campus that we got in tiajuana. We had four of them but the first three have either been broken or lost.

2) Buddy: One of our bros' dog.

Since Zeta doesn't have an official animal mascot, we use the white tiger.

Delta Gamma has the Raggedy Anne doll (but her name is Hannah) and the anchor. My chapter uses these national symbols. We **LOVE** Hannah! I have my mom's Hannah doll from when she was in college! We also love our anchor - I'm glad it's easier to draw than Hannah is!!

im sorry but those mascots are kinda stupid... Our's is a unicorn. So ha! Just jokin'. Its kinda funny to hear about mascots like a dragon from betas or a lion from SAE and stuff like that. ours is a unicorn. Seems kinda ... well... gay if you ask me. but one day we came across this book that stated that our real mascot originally was the severed head of a unicorn, and then due to political correctness it was changed to a unicorn. So I'm sticking with the severed head of a unicorn cause its coola! So there ya go betas and SAE's, try and beat that. And if you've ever watched Harry Potter and the sorcerers stone then you would know the powers of a unicorn.

In our crest the unicorn head is on top and the rest of the crest is uppose to be the danglings of the neck (which is kinda gross).

Um... wow... psycho...

Our chapter uses only our National, the LION!!! Well, Sir Fidel to be exact. I kinda wish it was a teddy bear cuz I collect them! But not I have a fine collection of lions. I always heard about the ladybug thing, but I never knew what it was about until someone posted it in the Phi Mu forum. I just wish I knew what the symbolism behind the ladybug is!

Our chapter uses the national mascot, the turtle. When I first joined, I was disappointed...but now I can't have enough turtles! We don't have a chapter mascot, but my roomie who is a Kappa Delta does; they use the teddy bear and the lady bug.

On my campus, the AZD's used Teddy Bears in lieu of the national mascot- BetXi Bear....also, sometimes we used the grateful dead bear too. Also, for posters and things we used the paw print of the bear, it's really cute!
the other chapter's used:
phi mu- the pink panther
tri sigma- the sailboat and the road runner and taz
zeta- bunnies, strawberries, and the crown
sigma kappa- a big green and purple stuffed snake
asa- ragedy ann and lady bugs
aopi- panda bears and ladders

OK, Both have the Lion and they were founded within a year of each other at the same school. Phi Mu sisters-does your national say why Phi Mu picked the lion when it was already being used on your campus by ADPi? And if the founders didn't care that it was already being used, why would a Phi Mu chapter today care and use a different mascot-like the ladybug. I just find this really interesting.My chapter only uses the international mascots & symbols. I think having a local mascot is cool if you have no (inter)national mascot, but if you have one, why would you change it? I'm just curious.

I've never heard of an A-Phi chapter that has a chapter mascot. I don't know, but I think it'd be weird to have a chapter mascot.

I think the unicorn mascot is really cool. Delta Phi Epsilon's mascot is the unicorn and I think it's very unique & beautiful

Besides the unicorn, my chapter has it's own mascot which is the koala bear and each family has their own mascot, mine was the teddy bear.

When I was in school there was debate over whether we should keep the unicorn, one of our other chapters suggested that we change it to the starfish.

I like the unicorn!

i believe that the ladybug and the lion are both used. however, the ladybug is not recognized on our website as any sort of symbol, and from what i've seen the lion is much more common. you can find lots of phi mu things with ladybugs on them though. i guess it really depends on what the chapter prefers.
