We know, Ali!

Congratulations on doing all your shots, and I forgive you for crying at home and waking my underaged butt up. And by the way, I do love you.

You forgot to put in the best quote from our chapter: "MY dad does that to cows!!!"

Happy birthday, again!

I've nevr heard of any tradition like that..can you say anything else?
I know our chapter is pretty strict about any paddle images though

It's not a real paddle, it's a gold, charm paddle. On the front are engraved the PSS letters, and on the back we get a message for the person. It's a tradition to represent that you are now 21.

I've actually not heard yet about Paddles-
I really doubt they'd do that in our chapter...someone want to explain the signifigance behind them?

Thanks!

It seems like a few people are confused about this. Including me. But it sounds like a really cool thing between sisters and would like to know more about the paddle lavalier. A lot of girls in our chapter will be joining the "big girls club" this year including myself. YEAH!!! anyways...and I would like to tell the sisters about this. Thanks. :D

Paddle Laviliers!
 

To clear up anything:

The paddle that I recieved on my birthday was a gold paddle lavilier, to replace my normal lavlier. It is tradition in the Gamma Gamma chapter that once a sister turns 21, you get the paddle charm from someone in your family, or a close friend (in my family, the little buys it for her big) okies? :)

If you want to see them, BPA has them in the catalog, along with most jewlery stores, or Greek catalogs!!!

I think most sororities around here do it....

I understand now...that's a cute tradition...but like i said my chapter is freaky about any kind of paddle imagery. I bought that paddle charm for myself at LTS 3 summers ago(it said it was for recruitment)..I got back and everyone told me i couldn't put it on my badge...so i left it somewhere and now it is lost...and to think, i was 21 at that time :) (actually all the actives in my chapter are already over 21 so it's a bit late to start the tradition)
