Who's going to tell a precious 75-year-old alumna who doesn't have a computer that her hand-written copies won't be accepted?
Nobody, of course.
Every year - and I do mean EVERY year - I receive at least one "fancy" packet. Monogrammed, color-coordinated stationery, card stock (which drives me nuts - the damn stuff is heavy!), color-coordinated clips and bound with a ribbon in one of my sorority's colors.
This year's gem was a pastel gem clip binding it all together.
But most are on plain paper.
Back in the day, we heard tales of chapters receiving big tins of popcorn during work week with the rushee's photo on the top. Or stacks of pizzas delivered to the house with the rushee's photo on each lid. I personally never saw it but I heard about it!
