Keep 'em coming girls!

>bump<

If there is anyone else that want's to do the paddle pass, please PM me your info, as I will be drawing names Monday!

Funny that you posted that just now, I was about to PM you!!!!

Ladies, the paddle info has been PMed to you all. The PM includes all the info that I was given by each of you, and I think there is enough to make a wonderful paddle for each of you. I'm so sorry that I was so late in getting names out, I just got internet back.

Anyway, have fun with these guys, and when you get your paddle, post them up here! We want to see all the creative work that goes into them!

im so excited!! hehe

SO just cause im curious ... how many peoples have joined this little paddle making party?

<3

Ladies - - SigKapAlumWSU sent me the best website!! If any of you don't have immediate access to supplies that you'd like, or would like some ideas, here's the link:

http://www.paddletramps.com


:D

I'm so excited!!

Best thread I ever started!! :D

hey ladies! check out greek 101.com for paddles as well. i was just looking and they have the same size paddles as paddletramp for less $. the only problem is the one i wanted to get was the 13" and you have to buy those in lots of 6. so if people want to go in on it.......just a thought. a

anyhow, i have two questions. first, when does this need to be done and sent? second, how many sisters are doing it?

Another thought on Greek101 ...
If you order anything you can use this code: aopigumo
to get 5% off ... its some fundraiser my cute little AOPi girl is doing ... the codes free ... anyone can use it on anything they buy from there ... and I mean ... who doesnt want to save money!! So pass it on!

(also ... if you check out that website amy sent like two posts ago ... you can put in your zip code and it tells you the stores near you that sell paddles and such ... you can save on shiping)

<3

Just recieved another unexpected bill - - for over $200!!!!! :o :mad: In light of this, I'd like to propose having the paddles sent by Aug 1. We can send them any time before that, but that is the absolute latest. Anyone disagree?

Aug. 1st sounds good to me.
the zip code thing is something i will have to check out. i like to visually set everything up before i actually glue it/buy it.

<3

I reallllly don't want to keep pushing this back, but I just got my hours cut at work...I'm still gonna bust my ass to get it done by Aug 1, but if not, please don't hate me!! :( :p

so i finally have a job which means as soon as i get a paycheck i'll be able to get my paddle stuff. i'm actually thinking of doing a more interesting type of paddle. someone is going to be very surprised.... :p ;)

BUMP!!
 

BUMP!!!
So ladies ... I know im just the weird random girl on the board. But I wanted to ask how everyone GOT their paddles, cause I know lots of chapters do it differently. Like who you got them from, when you got them, and any other special things about them!


Well as I have prob-ly said a million times ... my chapter has their NMs pick "moms" while they are pledging (and they are seperate from bigs). We each recieve a paddle made for us by our mom's on initiation day. Traditionally they say your name in the middle, the top says your pledge class and the bottom says who its from. Oh and of course almost ALL of them are tied with a wire ribbon ... lol people spend HOURS with curling iorns and such just to make the ribbon look perfect ;)

Come on!! I wanna hear stories about my sisters!!!

Edit: Oh yea! Our mom's get pillows from their daughters on initiation day too!

we give our bigs paddles on our initiation day as a kind of thank you. you can put whatever you want on them. i made my big a big paddle. i have 2 littles so i have two. a medium and a big one and i love them both! my great grand little made me a tiny paddle that's says "i heart ggb" i thought it was sooooo cute! and i was totally surprised! i'm obsessed with the "mary low" family ;)
