Before I became a memeber of Alpha Kappa Alpha I had friends to cross before me and I made them sorority gifts. Just as I was given AKA gifts after I crossed by non members. It is not inappropriate and as long as you give the gift from your heart your friend will love it. I also like the fact that your being thoughtful enough to give a gift and not begrudge your friends happiness. Take care and keep supporting your friend and striving for your dream.
