Hi- I too am a Mom of a new Pi Beta Phi. And like you it is all greek to me. But I have learned a lot reading this website. I sent my daugher some sweatpants with the sorority letters on them and a really cute key chain. These were both from somethinggreek.com. They have tons of greek related items.
Since I am also new to all this I don't know what would be considered a customary gift for initiation or whether you need a gift for her Big. My daughter has just been involved for a week or so and we haven't heard anything about initiation. I hope some of the more experienced posters can help you.
You can go to the national website for Pi Beta Phi and check out their store, Phi Pi Express. They have some very nice jewelry. I was thinking of getting my daughter the pearl bracelet with the Pi Phi silver charm. They have many items so maybe you will get some ideas.
If you don't get any replies here go to the forum for sorority recruitment as there are many more posters there. So far my daughter is really loving Phi Pi but I am concerned as it takes up so much of her time. Maybe things will settle down after a while.
Good luck to you and your daughter!
