Gifts For New Chapters?

[AXiDTrish]

Many of our organizations are growing (yea!), but when these groups receive their charter what gifts do they receive from alumnae and other chapters?

Obviously, their headquarters, nationals, etc extends them operating items, but other than that????

I have heard a tradition of each established chapter of the installed sorority/fraternity is to send $1 per current member to the new chapter. Is this a nationwide practice?

As an alumna, I send $10+ to each new chapter for their savings accounts. Does anyone else do this? Are there any other traditions of gift giving to new chapters?

Thanks!
