lets see... i haven't taken a lil yet- but its a big deal in the sororities at my school and i've seen all the sororities stuff so there are a lot of ideas. generally- after they get in- we make a pillow- and get letters cut out (you can do this yourself or get them made- depends how much money and work you are willing to put in) and glue or stick them on(if you get them made they come with a sticky back) usually diagnally down whatever- and put her name on the front- and a poem on the back- or a design with her pledge class name etc... they are a lot of fun- i have two... we do candles- just buying whatever candles you like and puffy painting them- you can do cups- i have a whole bunch of cups from my sisters- just cups fromt eh dollar store or wahtever (or beer mugs!) and paint marker them or puffy paint- its a lot of fun- and i always think of my big whenever i drink out of them- you can do those frames where its a big square with little pictures inside them and around the frames you could write like "date party" "formal" etc in puffy paint with swirls or stars- they look really nice and you can hang them on the walls- you can get all kinds of frames from like marshalls and stuff... i'm big on scrapbooking- you can email me (empiregirl@msn.com) if you want help with how to put the fabric and batting on the outside so its kinda puffy and i usually put a poem or soemthing on the outside and get all kinds of fun paper and markers and you can start it for them- maybe doing like a collage with their names on the first page or a picture of you guys or your family line.... hmmm we usually do theme baskets- pink- leopard print- angel- princess- barbie- something they like a lot--- whatever- if you do it right- you can do a few small things or a whole bunch of little things- its so fun! esp if you are crafty- even putting in stupid stuff like coloring books and crayons- games- anywya- i've rambled for too long- if anyone has questions- feel free to email- hope it helps some
