lack of a mascot

sairose · #1 04-28-2002, 12:15 AM

Hey, I'm an SAI from the Epsilon Gamma chapter at ASU. I was just wondering, why doesn't SAI have a mascot, anyways? Every other GLO in the world has one. I think it would be awesome if we had one!

Our chapter president is even thinking of submitting a petition for an SAI mascot. I was just curious what other sisters had to say.

And just curious, but what does anyone think would make a good mascot?

Love and roses,
SAIrose

Maybe a ladybug...I dunno. What sings? I am not in favor of any birds because they creep me out!

There was discussion on the national listserv about this a looooong time ago (maybe 5-6 years ago?). It wasn't formally petitioned or anything, but some people said they felt that just having a rose was enough, and some others (mostly alumnae) said they felt having a mascot was not in keeping with our "professional" image...

As far as ladybugs go, I believe that's Alpha Sigma Alpha's mascot, so they probably wouldn't appreciate it if we borrowed theirs.

Bird creep you out? One too many Hitchcock movies?

That really would be a tough one to decide, but I don't think that us having a mascot would in any way harm our "professional" image. What do y'all think?

It's cute and fun, so why not? Something musical, something red, something white, it doesn't matter. It should be something that is easy to find though so that people can buy the stuff.

How about a swan??

RedRoseSAI · #11 05-03-2002, 03:46 PM

Like a trumpeter swan?

Cute idea - swans are loyal, protective, beautiful, and graceful (in addition to being white, one of our colors).

How about an angel? Think about it...they're usually dressed in white (one of our colors), they sing, they're not birds, and they're often vessels of inspiration. There could even be some kind of cute little saying of explanation for it like "Sisters are Angels of Inspiration".

If we are concerned about repeating someone else's mascot, we can't do the angel. That belongs to Pi Phi.

Well shoot...I had forgotten all about that. I even used to think Pi Phi was cool 'cause of their mascot. My mother used to be a big angel freak and had a wall full of all sort of angel memorabilia. Well, then I vote for my original answer, the swan (or trumpeter swan, as it were). By the way, I love how some of y'all have signatures w/letters (and even in the right colors). How do you get your signature to do that? It's way cool.

Do any chapters have local mascots?
