Gompei the Goat – Worcester Polytechnic Institute
Back in 1891, the class of 1893 in true college spirit, stole a goat and used it as a mascot. The goat was even tended by a student, Gumpei (Gompei) Kuwada. The reason why is because he was the only person with the initials G.K. Think about it…..G.K….goat keeper. Yup! To this day, the mascot is still that of a goat and it’s even called, Gompei.

Evergreen State College – Speedy the Geoduck
For your information, a Geoduck is a large mollusk. It has a long body protruding from its shell, peachy right? Well, uhh, not really! This has got to be the weirdest mascot we have ever laid eyes on and that’s saying a lot considering the mascots that have made this list. And get this, there’s also a “theme song” that goes with this particular mascot. “Siphon high, squirt it out, swivel all about, let it all hang out.” Classy.
