When I toured Chi Omega Headquarters, they had a beautiful lace handkerchief embroidered with X O - I was told it used to be (maybe it still is?) a tradition for a big sis to give her little sis the handkerchief at initiation, to be carried at her wedding. They also had a collection of gorgeous hand-painted china vases which one chapter gave to its brides.
As for me, I used pink carnations in my flowers, and had Matt.vii read at the service - all the Gamma Phis perked right up at that familar scripture! My sisters circled me and sang "Remember Gamma Phi Beta". My now-ex husband is a Sigma Chi, but his buddies were too drunk to serenade me. Not that I'm bitter . . .
