Gallery: (4/9/2019) Roomie the Lion

The name of Southeastern's mascot - believe it or not - was initially Lobo and was selected by a panel of judges in 1964. As you can imagine, the name Lobo (spanish for wolf) failed to gain popularity and shortly thereafter the name was changed. The SLU mascot was renamed to honor a noted figure in the sports world, Hollis "Roomie" Wilson, a former Southeastern athlete and faculty member and well known throughout the nation as one of the top football officials.
