I'm not finished with it yet, but since I never got one upon initiation, I figured it was finally time for my own paddle.

Brother Crusse10, the one I made for my Big Brother was sword shaped. Took me forever to cut the damn thing right, only to find out i could've bought it pre-cut if i looked hard enough. I wish I took a pic of it before i presented it to him.

As noted in this thread before, most guys here incorporated a sword in their paddles somehow. It's a common link between all of us, it seems!

I chose the sword because our mascot at UCF is the Knight. I thought it would be fitting, especially since we were at the beginning of a someone's gawd awful attempt to change our mascot to the Shark.

Mine's just a plain old paddle shape.

But the sword does look cool.

Disclaimer: If your job blocks facebook, you may not be able to see these. But I am too lazy to upload them any place else.

Last year, my friend crossed Delta and I had a spec' in my alumni chapter. We had a joint dinner and I gave them their crossing gifts:


What you do not see, and what I forgot to photograph, is that the backs of the paddles have our pictures on them. The Alpha's had a pic of the both of us at a convention, and the Delta's had a photo from us from a while back. Yay decoupage.



The next year, my Delta friend had a dinner for my 7th Alphaversary, and she gave me a paddle she made herself




The back says "O-Ren Ishii" (Lucy Liu's character in Kill Bill, aka Cottonmouth) -- sorta like the alter ego to "Mr. Matter-of-Factly"

Wow, time flies!

I love those paddles.

I also really like the sword shaped paddle.

A friend of mine, after dropping a big hobby of his, needed something else to do to take it's place. He picked up woodwork and got quite skilled at it. When I thought of the sword, I immediately went to him. His cut was fantastic, and he had it done within a week.

I'm a fan of the ducks (they're my family's mascot).

And Sen, the pictures showed up to me for the first time today: Those are great.

Paddles are kinda a big deal in our chapter. We exchange ALL the time and we have some amazing artists. Other chapters have come to our house and wind up taking pictures not of our house.. but our paddles. Here is one a sister made for me... They are a bit dark so I added the close ups and the back. :-) We have tons of other amazing ones but they aren't mine so I don't wanna post them.

Can't see the pictures, hun.

ETA: If you are trying to show them from facebook, you need to right-click on the photo and capture the link which ends in .jpg. Then, in GC, click on the little icon which is the mountain and the sun, then paste the link ending in .jpg.
