what did you get as your new member gift?

[Not a Mezzo]

Yeah, we just got our bid day shirts, a carnation, and some candy on Bid Day.

However, each week after that we'd have a Pal Paw who would give us a gift and hang out with us. They could be different things...I got a nifty hand-made poster with letters on it, a pink jar candle with "Phi Mu Loves Jenn" spelled out on the side, a set of notecards, and a picture frame with "Love...Honor...Truth...Phi Mu" painted around the edges.

Then, the week of revealing, we'd get different things from our big...the first day was like spa day, with baskets of goodies; then we all got stuffed lions, pink plants, and letters on the day of revealing. The last week of the pledge period, we'd get more presents from our bigs...mine made me a beautiful badge box and a scrapbook.

Also, we each had a mail bag on the wall outside the chapter room. Throughout the new member period, sisters would leave cute, artsy notes with their numbers and messages like, "Phi Mu loves you and so do I!" I still have all of them. They were a great little reminder that all of our new sisters loved us.
