Well, at my chapter you don't have to. But we do have sisters who make them for themselves. I had one, but after moving, a lot of the letters came off. I need to make another.
My chapter was presented with a big chapter paddle from our brothers (Brothers of the Rising Sun, ATL Alumni Chapter) when we were chartered two years ago. I still have that one, it means a lot to us.
Hey, dardenr your paddle sounds like it was tight. I need you to make me one with my sorority symbols on it and stuff. How much do you charge?
