Alpha Delta Brothers are BANANAS for Service

You may recognize UMaine's mascot, Bananas-the-Bear. A cheery, furry figure present at most of the sporting Bananas is easily-recognizable even to those who don't attend to University of Maine. What many don't know is the secret of who Bananas is, underneath the costume. I'm letting out a big secret by sharing that Bananas is actually played by different members of the Alpha Delta fraternity each time Bananas is required to make an appearance. It may not be the typical kind of service the brothers perform, but working as the school's mascot does a lot to bring the UMaine community together- rooting for sports teams, uniting at rallies, and joining in appreciation for the bear that is the representation of who we as UMaine students are: proud. Bananas is the symbol of the pride UMaine students have in regards to attending their university; Bananas is the biggest cheerleader of every student that goes here. Alpha Delta brothers are responsible for bringing this school pride to UMaine, and that certainly constitutes a great act of service for UMaine and the local community.
