Bigs and lils exchange paddles during Inspo week (week of initiation).
My chapter used to do plain ones, but now i'd say 85% of them are entirely painted.
I made this one for lil #1:

the picture is poor quality, but you can see it has a photo of us on it as well as family symbols (palm tree, family name etc).
I don't have a picture of lil #2's or the paddles they gave me.
