The Story of the Golden Suns Tired of being referred to as the 'Wonderettes', the female athletes of Arkansas Tech University held a contest in the spring of 1975 to determine what their new mascot would be. Several names were nominated, but in the end, the athletes selected Golden Suns as their new mascot. The volleyball team in the fall of 1975 was the first squad to play under the name Golden Suns, which in the years since has become synonymous with excellence in women's intercollegiate athletics.
