What are some things your chapter does to make initiation special for new members?

They get decorative Paddles. Strictly ornamental I might add. And there are specific Family traditions that make it special for each girl. Also, they get unity letters and a whole bunch of crap!! I really like the idea of the letters from each member. We do something like that as a sisterhood activity where we pass around a sheet with each member's name on it and each person writes one good thing about that person.
