That is a totally AWESOME idea. That way no one has to be running to the Greek store and stuff like that.

Plus, National can probably buy in bulk and save the chapter some $$.

Great idea.

I was just about to say that ASA National should make "Pearl Packs", but that sounds like we give our NMs a box of tampons.

To me, it is definitely worth giving the new members a tote bag with letters. You could look at it as a double investment. It is both a new member gift and great pr for the chapter. I know for most sorority new members at UCF, when they were given a tote bag they usually started carrying it to every single class and their letters were seen all over campus.

At UCF, it seemed like a lot of girls just barely afforded a sorority and most had to work for it, so the girls just couldn't go out and buy a lot of letter tees after bid day. Those bags really got a lot of use and were a great way to establish the sorority's presence on campus.

Crafts are a great idea, and Kappa used them a lot. Wooden photo frames are very cheap at Michael's, and they have a lot of cute prepainted wooden cutouts. I know I've seen lions and several other sorority symbols. Buy that and some paint in your colors, and you've got a present and a fun activity for bid day.
