Yeah, you've got a point there. I can only speak for my chapter. Once initiated, we do something called a paddle-letter exchange where the a little brother gives his big the paddle in exchange for their letters and other gifts. It's a tradition we've had since our chapter was founded in 1953.
Sounds like a very cool tradition! My chapter didn't do paddles, but did do gifts to littles at inititation.
