...Forgot to say, thanks! I need to get a few more things glued on, but I figured I'd go all out for mine. If you're ever coming through the Knoxville area, you should stop by and sign it!

Ooh! I like your paddle - it's decorative and has its own character but is still masculine. Very nice!

The Fleur de lis paddle looks great and is very appropriate for Natchitoches, as well.

My chapter makes boards in the shape of a sailboat. Once the Little Sis is initiated, she makes one for her Big Sis and her Big Sis makes one for her. Once both of them are finished, they choose a night to exchange.
Boats are often exchanged at Bid Night, Initiation Night, after chapter, or really any day that the entire chapter (or close to that) is present. It's a fun tradition.
They're usually decorated in the theme of something that the other person really likes. Example: One girl's Little Sis loves Twilight, so her boat resembles a Twilight book cover.
