Definitely get her letters! It's traditional, after all. Maybe a nice lavaliere? I know of many chapters of different orgs have a tradition where the big sis (that's you ) gives their little sis a lavaliere right before initiation.

Yes! I wanted to get her a lettered tee and maybe a couple of sorority gift items (like maybe a picture frame, drink tumbler, car decal?) but I also wanted her fees to be paid before I do, because at least if they are paid I know for sure she will get initiated.

The minute they're paid, I'm going to do some online shopping and make a gift pack for her! It would be cool if I could do it as her Christmas gift...we shall see how timing plays out...

Also this past week I attended a collegiate initiation for our group and that makes me super excited to be there when she is initiated.

With the lettered shirt, just keep in mind that you're not in college anymore. I don't think I would buy her a traditional letter shirt to start. Some alumnae are weird about wearing them, and in the NPC world, they're generally seen more as a collegiate thing. Her age may also dictate what she would like.

A shirt that's more "adult" with the sorority name spelled out might be a better option.

Just my 2 cents!
