Pardon the crash but I had to respond to this.
Why would you want to be like other sororities that have motto's? Celebrate the uniqueness of your organization instead of complaining & comparing it to other GLO's.
If a motto means that much to you, you're in the wrong organization.

There are different sororities that don't have certain things for one reason or another.
Example:
AOII does not have a crest.
Tri Sigma does not have a mascot (we have symbols only).

Phi Mu has no jewel. I've always wanted one! We do wear pearls at recruitment a lot, but nothing official  . It's not the end of the world though...

Gamma Phi Beta doesn't have a mascot (like an animal one) either.

I believe they have used the Gammie (sp?) Bug.

AOII doesn't have an open motto. Our motto is the meaning of our name so we can't display it like other groups. That's okay with me....our motto is enough!

AOII doesn't officially have a mascot either - the panda is unofficial and I know a few chapters that use something else.
That is all part of what makes each group unique. There is no cookie-cutter form to creating a sorority/fraternity. This is a rhetorical question, but Delta Zeta probably has some meaning which is similar to a motto without actually saying "this is our motto. . . . " And, as far as an open motto, a LOT of groups don't have those. They have marketing taglines but not open mottos like Gamma Phi Beta and Kappa Delta.

Yes - I actually kinda liked the Gammie Bug, but she was retired. There was discussion of reviving her this past convention, but nothing happened. Many of our chapters adopt an unofficial mascot - my chapter used the ladybug.

We don't have a motto either. Our chapter had an individual, unofficial motto we used, which is something I'm sure you could do if you really wanted, but our Sorority doesn't.
As everyone else has said, just because most other organizations have one doesn't mean you should. Our founders obviously didn't see the need for one: I personally think the meaning of our name/letters is enough for me.

Sorry to crash but Theta does not have a mascot either or an official jewel. Votes have been taken in recent years to change this but we overwhelmingly vote to keep things as they are to keep us unique from others.

I am sure that were Theta to adopt either a jewel or a mascot it would still manage to be unique.  (But I do understand not wanting to have something only because others do - that is why I don't worry about having a mascot.)

Kappa doesn't have an open motto, either. We have a marketing tagline that corresponds with our branding ("A Tradition of Leadership") but no open fraternity motto.

Slight hijack . . .
How many of your GLOs have "taglines"? And what are they?
