The week before Initiation was Friendship Week (it's now Diamond Days, I think), and we had a secret sis during that time. We received a different gift each day: a lion (our mascot), a pin pillow (around 4" each side), violets (flower), our Creed, and a paddle.

Paddles are now forbidden, and while I know that they were never used in sororities, they do give "an appearance of evil", especially to non-Greeks. I would rather a non-Greek sees and reads our Creed rather than get an image of that paddle being used!

Our big sisters make a pillow (regular size) for their littles. These incorporate a "family" theme, and have their names & date on it.
