Fight!Beta Omicron’s Mascot: 579Beta Omicron's Chapter mascot, 579, is locked in adisplay case in our KKΨ office, out of harm's way.579 was purchased by Tanya Marsh and two otherBrothers about 7 years ago to replace his monstercousin, 663. After years of being tossed around inChapter meetings in his ASU t-shirt, he now takes iteasy with Izzy the Whatsit in the office. However,those of you who have been to District Conventionthe past few years though, have probably seen Howie,who was born in March 2006 for Hawaiian Day of WDCin Ontario, CA. He had such a good time with theBrothers and Sisters that we fit him, along with hisfour-foot wooden staff in the back of Randy's car andbrought him along with us to WDC 2007 in Las Vegas.Howie had a great time in Vegas and won his way intothe chapter's heart by starting an epic struggle duringchanting, but luckily we got him back, peg leg, eyepatch, and all.Beta Omicron’s Executive Council with ourmascotsKatie, Robyn, Zac (w/Izzy), Stefanie (w/663),Ashton, Candace, and RandyPage 26
