I have three that I treasure the most"
- My badge
- A fairly old plate with our crest in the middle of it: I just received this last month from a Phi Beta alumna I stayed with while traveling. We had never met before, but left great friends (even though she's in her 70's & I'm in my 20's).
- My paddle. We decorate our own paddles in my chapter, and our bigs are there. It's this great bonding experience. Then I had all of our actives & pledges sign the back of it. Well, every semester we have a "paddle party" with our new members. Anyone actives can bring their paddle & fix it up at the party. Since I was the pledge educator my last year, I brought my paddle to the parties and made my final touch-ups to it. At our senior send-off event, I brought the paddle along and had everyone sign it (unless they had pledged with me & already signed it). So it's a record of all of the brothers and sisters I was active with. And it brings back some awesome memories.

The most treasured items I have recieved and will treasure for all time to come, is my brotherhood with the other members of Phi Kappa Tau, and the knowledge that makes me a better person both inside and out.

because I feel the same way about Phi Beta. Those things listed above are just reminders.
