At initiation we give our little sisters their arrow paddles, which are all the same size, just covered in the fabric we used to make their other gifts (themed to match their bedspreads and bedrooms) and then put Big Sis, Lil Sis, our names, etc.
Then at Christmastime, at our holiday party, the Bigs are presented with their real paddles. I finally got mine and I was so excited, I almost passed out! It has a Pi Beta Phi in symbols going down as the handle. It's a traditional one, but with the cute handle and the outside and letters are painted pink. And my little even painted the little angel's hair black, like mine!
