Southern Illinois Salukis SIU’s sports mascot is the Saluki. A Saluki is one of the oldest dog breeds, and is an Egyptian hunting dog similar to a greyhound or whippet.[1] SIU’s teams originally competed under the team name “Maroons” from 1913 to 1951.[1] Then the Saluki was chosen as SIU’s mascot on March 19, 1951 in part because the southern Illinois region is colloquially known as Little Egypt.[1] ---
