And I think puts too much emphasis on THE LETTERS and not on the meaning behind them. I have a problem in general with the unnecessary accumulation of stuff. When the gravy train stops, do the girls quit? Maybe not as a direct result, but subconsciously when Christmas is over it's time to pack it in. You definitely want the pledges to have some stuff (subtle marketing is a good thing) but do we really want such one-dimensional girls that their rooms, their bodies, their cars can only be about their sorority? It would seem to me a book bag, a t-shirt (sweatshirt, tank top, whichever is most appropriate to your campus), a teddy bear or whatever your mascot is and maybe a picture frame with your letters. How much more stuff do you need as a pledge to be given to you? You accumulate so much of that stuff over the 4 years of your membership, I think as a pledge you just really need a starter set. Again with the You're Not a Full Member Yet thing. You don't need to have the same amount of letter stuff as the seniors. That's a benefit of longevity.
