My chapter had never used paddles for any purpose, but with our last pledge class several of the Brothers did give them as gifts during the post-ceremony dinner. Two of the NIBs who had the same Big Brother gave her a paddle, the pledge class had gotten together to make a paddle for their pledgemaster, another older Brother gave a paddle to his Big. This made the whole event very special and I think everyone enjoyed it.
