Flying Pig (Meme)

The Flying Pig is IPoly's unofficial mascot, though the school's official mascot is Cal Poly's Bronco. The Flying Pig has roots in the comon phrase "when pigs fly," which was used to say that IPoly will move out of the portables when pigs fly. Ever since the day IPoly moved into the new campus, the Flying Pig has been a staple of IPolynesian culture.

History
Prior to 2011, IPoly students used "when pigs fly" to describe the impossibility of a full, more traditional campus. Thus, especially after the new buildings were completed in 2012, the Flying Pig became the school's symbol of change and, to and extent, hope.

The flying pig was taken up by Drama Club and Improv Club as the Drama group mascot early in the joke's life.
