When I was in AO, we received paddles from our big sister's like the one's in the Ad. They were different from what a lot of other chapters do. Our's were not made by the big sisters, they were made for us by a company and everything was burned/etched into the wood. Everyone's paddle looked the same, with the exception of the names/years on the back.

The chapter that I advise uses homemade paddles that the littles give their bigs after initiation. I've never heard them talk about rules for what goes where, or not being able to use glue on the letters so I think it might have been a local tradition/rule.

Kathy, does AO still do the same type of paddles?

In AOT,
