The squirrel

As I am sure everyone knows the squirrel is the revered and loved mascot of Alpha Gamma Delta. The reason being that in 1909 the founders of AGD (probably Whats-her-face Butterworth) thought that the squirrel was a curious creature and thus should represent our beloved sisterhood. Over the last 3 years as an Alpha Gam I have grown to love this little critter. Why you may ask? Because, next to the lemur, it is the cutest animal known to man. Would it be cute to see a turtle sliding down a fireman pole... no! But a squirell how precious! I love being able to walk across the quad and see them nom noming on an accorn or scurring up a tree. Squirrels are nice animals, not ferocious like a lion or pointless like a dolphin. Can any other sorority  see their mascot on a daily basis? I think not. I would rather not see a phi bear or a panda bear on my daily trek to class. I think the most important reason why I so love the squirrels is because of the abundance of types of squirrels. Black squirrels, brown squirrels, red squirrels and flying squirrels. Who doesn't love an animal that can fly? I mean hello! Winner right there!!!!
