Need Senior Gift Ideas!

We have a group of Seniors graduating this May, and we need some meaningful but budget mindful ideas to send our seniors off! Any ideas from other sorority chapters?

A necklace charm with the group's symbol on it. For AOII, we recieved rose shaped necklace charms. It was great, since most poeple didn't want to wear thier lavaliers once they graduated, so it is an understated way of showing membership.

I also knew of one org that gave pin boxes.

My wife's sorority has in the past given: silver Cross pens with their sorority letters engraved on the pen and leather business card holders with the girls' initials (not sorority letters) engraved. The card holders were all in one of their sorority colors, though.

I believe the local chapter went in with the local alum chapter every year, so each group pitched in a little for senior gifts.

My chapter gave graduating seniors a silver kite charm! I still wear it at times! It is a great way to represent my sorority without directly wearing my letters which might not always be appropriate in the workplace.

A scrapbook or photo album is a great way to remember the fun undergrad years. We've done that for our seniors in the past, and it can be as fancy or as simple as you want.

If you could find a portifolio that could be engraved with the girls initials or in the sororities colors.

A scrapbook with letters and pictures from sisters is always nice! I graduated mid-year so I was one of the only ones graduating, but I was given a scrapbook with several notes from my sisters and my twin littles read their letters in front of the chapter. It was very touching! I know each chapter has their own traditions, but it was awesome!

Leather notebooks with nice pens are excellent gifts and are certainly practical for those moving on to the working world.
