You aren't allowed to hand anything out to the girls going through recruitment at all. It's an NPC rule and can be considered dirty rushing if you do. To avoid this we usually just wait until Bid Day to shower them with girfts.

So true, Lynn! Back at Auburn in the seventies, all the sororities gave really expensive favors in formal rush. We gave an arrow lavalier and a sterling bowl with an arrow on it!:eek: My roommate was a Chi O and they gave some expensive stuff too but the main thing I remember is that every member had to take home the parts to 2 stuffed owls and actually SEW them (they were BIG!) over the summer. Boy, was she mad--she'd never touched a needle!
