The official mascot of the Southwest District of Kappa Kappa Psi shall be Andy the Armadillo. He shall stand for service, duty, and loyalty, and as an example of our commitment to band programs and the Southwest District. Andy’s length of stay with a chapter shall be from District Convention to District Convention. Andy must wear an “official” shirt or uniform of the school (or band) that previously hosted him. This shirt must be worn at all times until Andy moves on to another school.
