🐞Mascot: "Wasps"

Hey there Let's talk about one of the coolest, yet often underestimated, school mascots out there: the Wasps 🐾. This mascot is all about the fierce and tiny insect that packs a big punch. Emory & Henry University in Virginia is one of the most well-known schools to adopt this buzzing mascot, and it's a unique one – they're the only college or university in the U.S. with this nickname. The story behind how they got this name is pretty interesting. It started back when their defensive unit in a football game against Tennessee was so tough that it reminded people of wasps swarming around, protecting their nest. Since then, the Wasps have become a beloved and intimidating symbol of school spirit. While it might not be the most common mascot, the Wasps have a special place in the hearts of their fans, and their mascot, Stinger, is a fan favorite at games and local events. So, if you're looking for a mascot that's all about being bold and fierce, the Wasps are definitely worth buzzing about ⚡ 🛡️
