Here is a sorority gift idea that is quick, inexpensive, and easy. A sorority doorhanger is a great little sister or big sister gift for anyone to make and give.

You should be able to find the materials to make this at a store like Hobby Lobby or Michaels.  They usually have the doorhangers made out of various materials.  I've seen them made of foam or made of wood.  I think the wooden doorhangers look better.

On this design, the sorority sister painted the front and back of the doorhanger dark brown.  When that was day, she glued the (already painted) wooden giraffe on the bottom. When that was dry, she lightly sketched her Greek letters (Alpha Epsilon Phi) in the proper place. She used her detail brush to paint the Greek letters with gold acrylic paint.  When that was dry, she painted various colored circles with white acrylic paint in a haphazard pattern.

I would paint the background and the Greek letters in my own sorority colors.  It just makes it a custom designed gift to use your own colors, don't you think?

Personalize it on the back side with a fine paint pen in any color you choose or a black sharpie will do.
