We have a chapter of Phi Mu Alpha at my alma mater. I can't even remember if they had paddles. . .but SAI(my music fraternity) has a lot to do with the Phi Mu Alpha's. We didn't do the paddle thing, but our bigs made books for us to keep stuff in. It was really cool.
I also wanted to comment on what you said. SAI, Professional Music Fraternity for Women, is one of the organizations I am an Alumni of. We were not "paper" either. We had to work hard for our letters. There was a lot more to it then just signing a piece of paper and getting my first t-shirt. I'm a bit disappointed in myself becuase I tend to answer more questions with the information I have gained due to my social sorority Delta Zeta, rather than incorporate what I've also learned from my Professional. I think it is because professionals are looked at with a little bit more regard and respect than socials. Because it can be misinterpreted that professional greek organizations have a purpose, where socials do not. . .of course that is a crock of sh*t, but sadly enough. . .that is how society views it. But I apologize for not incorporating what I've learned from my professional organization. I really should try to do that more.
