$$$ for little/pledge daughter gifts?

[CarolinaCutie]

In the three preceding weeks before Big/Little Week, the new members get one gift per week from their Paw Pal. These gifts are part of the Phi Director's budget and are purchased from the Carnation Collection so that everyone receives the same gift. During Big/Little Week though, the gifts are purchased out of pocket. Each gift has a maxmum spending limit, depending on the item, which is set by the Phi Director. There are ten days of gifts (a week for Big/Little and a week for Initiation), and the total of all the maximum prices is around $115. This is what we consider the average cost of picking up a Little; however, it can be done for much less, considering you can find most of the gifts for less than the maximum. Handmade gifts are also pretty popular. This price also does not include the two dinners following Revealing and Initiation that are paid for by the big sister.
