Yeah sharing germs is a problem, but my chapter shared a ton during recruitment even during swine flu season. It was that last minute "Shit! My lipgloss went missing! Can I borrow yours?" about 1 minute before the doors opened.

I used to brush off the germ thing too. Then two years ago, swine flu went around the campus I advise and took down nearly the entire chapter between invitational round and pref. That was one of the worst days of my life -- I was SO SICK myself, and we were trying to decide which sister would pref which PNM, and we had to keep crossing sisters off the list as they called us crying and sick. Out of a 130 member chapter, we had TEN girls who weren't sick. TEN. I missed three weeks of work and honestly thought I might die.
Now we are MILITANT about not sharing anything. Everyone brings their own water bottle that's labeled, no one can share lipgloss, etc. So not worth the ease, once you've dealt with something like that.

A few sticks of Friction block by BandAid. http://www.google.com/products/catal...ed=0CDQQ8wIwAQ
It really works to prevent blisters if they are wearing heels.

What a great idea, such a sweet thing to do! How about baby powder-can be used for sticky, ouchy, hotfoot shoes before they need to use the bandaids or friction block? I for one would also never turn down chocolate when stressed (or calm, or happy for that matter)-maybe something like dove promises or hershey's bliss little chocolates that you could just pop in your mouth?

You stole my suggestion! I might as well work for Tide considering how much I plug their pen!

If you've got kids, the pens are a must-have. Truly. /end hijack
One year, a sister's mom made a care package for our chapter. I don't remember most of the things that were in there, but the one thing I'll never forget is the fortune cookies. The notes inside ranged from fun and silly to sweet and inspirational. The mom had our sister ask our newest initiates what initially sold them on our chapter, and she wrote some of their quotes on the notes, too. I can't imagine how much time she put into that! We had a blast just opening the cookies and reading the notes - an impromptu sisterhood event somehow sneaked its way into the craziness of rush!

Baby powder is also a good thing to fix oily hair when you're sweaty
