Simple Greek Paddle

Paddles are generally given by 'little Sisters' to their 'Big Sisters,' or  from 'little Brothers' to their 'big  Brothers'. The paddle  is a symbol of their being  inducted into the sorority or the fraternity.

Here is a screen shot from GreekCreations.com showing examples of their custom sorority paddles. They also sell the basic shapes (paddles) and wooden Greek letters in various sizes so you can make your own paddle.

Sorority Paddles

Here's what the wooden Greek letters look like, if you are interested in making your own Greek paddle or other sorority plaque:

The paddles and letters shown above can be found at the GreekCreations.com website. They have some unique Greek items that I haven't seen elsewhere. It's worth a browse.

Here is an example of a paddle (Delta Phi Epsilon) probably made by the giver. For people that do a little woodwork, making a paddle is pretty simple. It takes a length of pine or other wood, penciling the pattern in the wood, a few cuts with a saw, sanding, staining, decorating, then varnishing. Others prefer to pay someone to make their paddle.
