Initiation Gifts

I didn't want to put this on one of the "main" boards, but I needed other opinions on this.

One of the women who I know will soon be initiated into a GLO other than mine, and I'd like to get her a small-to-medium priced gift. I had originally seen an adorable item with her mascot on it, but it's not available anymore.

There's a Christmas ornament with the crest on ebay. I have one just like it, and just love it. I just have this feeling that I shouldn't buy it, since another GLO's crest is on it.

Would it be the worst sin in the world if I did get it for her? Help, please!

As discussed in other threads, some orgs. allow the Badge/pin to be worn as a necklace. The lowest Alpha Gam one was about $45.00.

You're not breaking any laws by presenting a sorority member with her crest. LOL. Get the ornament and give it to her.

I think that I just had a problem with someone seeing my name and thinking, "why is she getting our crest?!" So, I got it!

I dont think anyone would have a problem with you buying it as a gift. I think it would be a real problem if you were WEARING the crest or using it for your self.

Just my two cents, though. :-)

I've said it before and I'll say it again:

The Delta Zeta ornament looks like a transvestite Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle.

*lol* as funny as it seems, that happened when I was in undergrad... a girl had rushed 3 times and didn't get a bid, and just decided to start buying our stuff and wearing it around. *shudder*

Funny how the ADPi lion is kinda noble (if scared)

And the Phi Mu lion is kinda gay


I just imagine him saying "Phabulous"

Actually, I never really cared for the ADPi lion ornament, but I LOVE the pin ornament!



It's still not as nice as the ones we can buy through Gift Mart, but better than the lion.
