Stupidest Mascots

ThetaxiUW · #1 11-07-2003, 05:55 PM

Less important of a question than what is happening on Fraternity Life but who do you think is the stupidest mascot?

No offense AGD's but squirrels to me are just a nuisance.

Dude, you just lost cool points. There's nothing stupid about this darling:

You don't say that kind of stuff on this board. You've officially been blacklisted by the AGDs.

If all the AGDs on this board took a huge picture with them all wearing that grass skirt, then maybe our Xi friend will apologize?

ETA: Unless there's a huge important part of the ritual that explains why a glo uses it, I think the use of a shamrock is kinda.....different.

Hey I just call them as I see them. I know you don't have a lot of squireels there in Hawaii, and Nutter and Marc and Jim can attest to this one. We have thousands upon thousands. They are kind of a nuisance. Ask Jim about Tanner and his exploits with the squireels and dirty birds. Now those guys are mean! Besides, Im not ripping on them, I'm just expressing an opinion. My sister was an AGD an she knows this.

I don't know, Nic. I'm not really sure what's going on, but you'll get your shirt...she's dependable when it comes to that stuff!

Now I need to go to the store and get some of those Bounty "Sandy the Squirrel" paper towels.

The only squirrels we have in Hawai`i are my Delta Sigma sisters.

If you want to talk about different, I guess our symbol or "Mascot" is a severed unicorn head. Thats pretty crazy if you ask me. I did not mean to offend you Sandy. Im sorry if I did. You should come up to UW sometime and then you might understand what Im talking about. Its not like you can ever pet the squirrels. They are pretty quick and hard to catch. Trust me!

That's why our Founders chose Skiouros. The squirrel symbolizes the spirit that never dies, the spirit of alertness and progress. I don't see anything stupid about that.

Do any GLOs on your campus GO by their mascot name? Some people here commonly say the Wolfpack and the Ducks instead of their greek letters.

.. are so 80's and well, let's just say I don't care for them.

Aren't squirrels technically a rodent?

Bears are way over used I think, But I have to disagree with what someone here said earlier about winnie the pooh-I think if you are going to have a bear as a mascot-have a specific one-like winnie or paddington. But I do think the mascot should have meaning, not just be cute.

Sure, anyone can attach a meaning to it, but aren't characters like Winnie and Paddington copyrighted anyway?
