When I went through initiation, afterwards, the tradition is for the big diamond sis to present the lil diamond sis with a paddle. I think it is a special and important tradition for us to keep. It does however keep the appearance of "hazing". Therefore, this fall, we are presenting the diamond sisters with a paddle outside of initiation during another time. I think this is perfectly fine, I have not known one girl (in and outside ADPi ) who was uncomfortable with receiving a paddle. I think it is a beautiful tradition.
