collegiate gifts
 

as a collegiate, what kind of gift would you have liked/ or have been given and liked from your advisors? is there something that you wouldn't want at all?

After initiation, our advisor gave us a copy of "Picture a Girl." It was printed on nice paper, with a pretty scalloped edge, and tied with a pink ribbon and a personal message from her written in the upper left corner. It wasn't a terribly elaborate gift, but we all loved it--especially since some of my pledge sisters didn't know the words! :)

we didnt get gifts from our advisors :(

we never got gifts from our advisors, but i did get one really cool thing at Ohio State Day this year. it was called Discovering the stories of our lives through reflections on THE CREED OF PHI MU i think it was by an alumna of Delta Iota, but i'm not positive. Anyway, it has a line of the creed on each page and has different things in your life to reflect on that correspond iwth each line. its just a little booklet bound at the top with pink ribbon. it's definitely one of my favorite phi mu things.

We never got gofts from our advisors, either. Do most chapters??

gifts from advisers
 

When I was a chapter adviser, I gave small gifts of welcome to the new initiates after each intiation.

Something along the lines of a mug with a poem and personal note for each.

thanks for all of your ideas! i am a part of an advisory council and we are trying to put together a little something.

oulioness...i would love to see that poem. do you know where they got it? that sounds beautiful!
