We had a family pattern. Sun/moon/stars. On initiation our littles get a wall hanging: big piece of fabric with their name and ASt on it, and a door hanging, usually somthing like a round hoop, like for stitching, with fabric and their name on it. Each family has a paddle design. Some other traditions are lavaliers at certain times, ie: next birthday after initiation, or next formal chapter meeting after initiation. Also, I heard of a great idea but we never did it, was the night b/f initiation have a sleepover w/ your entire family and jsut hang out and get really close. What sorority means to you etc. Our family also had certain items that got passed at certain times. I also did a cross stitch of the crest, and it got passed at each initiation to the newest member of the fam.
