Why does it have to stand for anything other than what it is, which I'm assuming is the bird?Originally Posted by maynard
If they need a cool reason (that's at least valid), instead of an acronym why not use this "IBIS - Fearless and followed by death." Why? Check out this snippet from Wikipedia:
The mascot of the University of Miami is an American White Ibis. The ibis was selected as the school mascot because of its legendary bravery during hurricanes. According to legend, the ibis is the last sign of wildlife to take shelter before a hurricane hits and the first to reappear once the storm has passed.[10]
A short story The Scarlet Ibis by James Hurst uses the sable-hued bird as foreshadowing for a character's death and as the primary symbol.[11]
