Jen,
Our big sisters used to make fabric covered pledge books for all the new members. I went crazy with the 3 books that I made...I did personalized stitching and trim! But instead of a photo album, we made it like a kind of appointment book. I bought all kinds of Dayrunner inserts so my littles could keep track of classes and work, and I also put in Alpha Gam things for their Fraternity education...like the Purpose and our Hymn. I even put in our family tree!
Of course, all the new members love it. I still have the one my big gave me from 1994! Anyway, I *think* I still recall how to make it. I can give you directions if you want them.
LIEP,
M
