In my chapter, the bigs would make a special basket that usually contained a house sweatshirt (ours was light gray with bordeaux letters), an ivy plant, scrapbook, pin pillow, and other goodies. We would present them to each new active right after our initiation brunch. Then, the new actives would present their big sisters with a paddle at their first formal meeting.

As for pillows, the big sisters would decorate a pillowcase and fill it with snacks and toys to give to their littles for their new member retreat. It was kind of like a care package. They are both really neat traditions because they are both fun surprises!
