You could have your "crossing gifts" made up for the next 10 years.

You really are onto something here....my alumni chapter is ALL about being thrifty, and since we have a house to store them in, I bet that motion would pass LOL

Hey, if you decide to do that, do check out the website for the pens I mentioned - they also have bags and just about anything else you can name and they will personalize it for you!

And no, I'm not on the payroll of any of these companies, although should they want to shoot me a check, I would not say nay.

lol....i am actually looking through them right now and I like the sports bags they have. (With the exception that I'd have to get 100 at once lol)

I like this one better than the other one I posted. Also from ebay.

Another good idea is to fill the bag with a booklet of information about the sisters in your sorority. Have each girl pair with another sister and create a page of pictures and facts about them. The book will end up really cute and the new members will love it because it will help them learn names!

Include a "Survival Guide" - a chapter directory, "Greek Dictionary", info about other chapters on campus (letters, nicknames, President, address), poems about sisterhood/your mascots/symbols, hazing policy, tips on being a pledge/new member/new active etc - I still have mine, and I look at it and remember spesific things about my pledge period.

That is a great idea- especially if you have a really big chapter! Oh and giving the new member back anything that was used during the pref ceremony is always nice. So if the rusher wrote a letter or something to the PNM, give it to them to keep on bid day (since they can't leave the house with it after pref).
