Congrats! I was a Recruitment Counselor in 99, and it was an unforgettable experience!
Bottled water, advil, pens, a notepad, paper towels, tissues, an umbrella, mints or hard candies, bandaids, safety pins, clear nail polish and spray deodarant are great things to keep with you for the girls. Pack a couple nutrigrain bars each day, too. There's always someone who is about to faint b.c she forgot to eat.
Gifts...
For Greek Forum, when you meet your traveling group, I made my group little goody bags. I bought little white paper bags, and decorated the outsides with markers and stickers. It was sealed with curling ribbon. Inside were items that had been donated by different campus organizations: buttons, more stickers, little plush university mascots, magnets, pens, some candies, etc.
Each day, I gave the girls a little homemade present. One day, they got personalized bookmarks, another day it was notepads with their names on them, etc. On Prefs, I had written them each a little note on my stationary, wishing them luck and love. On Bid Day, I gave them cups with candy inside (again, personalized). They were thrilled with the little extras; I know it was motivating to know there was a "mom" figure who cared and would help them.
