Are you talking about girls who get accepted in the house? Because I know at my school it is considered dirty rushing to give girls gifts before they join a house. In my ASA chapter of Beta Beta we get Alpha Angels. They decorate a weeks worth of gifts and we find out on Friday of that week who the are. this is different than Big Sis. The alpha angels decorate mugs, frames, a box and put an old, but nice ASA shirt w/o letters in there- from formal or such. I think getting to know the girls is the best way to make them feel comfortable.

KROP, Keep Rushing Our Pledges (Pearls) right? I remember when this position was created - man am I old!

We always had "door tags" which were a poem or saying to hang on the door, usually in the shape of a Raggedy Ann or turtle (our local mascot). We staggered it so that they didn't get all the tags at the same time.

We have weekly "Bug Buddies," who are sisters that are assigned to make one gift for each new member during that week. Sisters also make door tags to decorate the girls' doors!
