When I became a brother of APO, I ain't get ISHT!
When I became an Alpha.....I got:
My history book and pin (of course), Alpha umbrella, set of ten note cards and a bookmark, a ceramic figurine, a picture of King Tut, three t-shirts, alpha cups, a leather keychain, a coolie (to put cold beverages in), and a lapel pin. Those were right after initiation, from my chapter brothers.
My mom (DST) got me a Sphinx figurine and a Pharaoh's head figurine, both were black and gold. I got those that night.
Over the next week, I got Alpha socks (!) and another keychain from a friend out west, the "Fraternity Row" print from a Delta friend in the midwest, and from my Delta and (at the time soon-to-be) Zeta friends -- a long sleeved t-shirt, short sleeved t-shirt, and a coaches jacket -- yes, the adgreek.com special.
Wow, I got a lot of stuff.
