My family only has the tradition of family letters, which we're about to change now. Our letters are a black hooded sweatshirt with a blue and white gingham print and cherries over a red background. We're going to change them though because the cherry pattern is difficult to find now that our family has grown.
We did have a slight tradition that was broken two years ago. My big sis gave me her big's badge to wear after I was initiated (until I received my own). This is because her big had two badges and left the first with my big so that we could start this tradition. Well, I had my badge all through rush, had a little to pass it on to, and the pass-it-down badge was lost by one of my pledge sisters during Presents. Needless to say, I was very upset and never got it returned because this girl deactivated and no one ever sees her or knows were she is. :-( So no more passing the badge down. Maybe if I get some extra money in the next few months, I'll start that tradition with a new badge.
