Give a sorority gift that demonstrates that special relationship between sisters. You can often find items like the little sister-big sister heart shown below, but I hope to encourage you to make your own special gifts for Little Sisters and Big Sisters. SororitySisters.net is a good place to start for some handmade sorority gift ideas.
Sorority Sister Hearts are Knit Together
One of the best gifts for a little sister or a big sister is one that affirms the Big-Little relationship. A framed picture of the two sisters together is always a winner because it shows appreciation for that special relationship. Go a step further with a framed picture by personalizing the picture frame with your sorority letters. This can be as simple as painting your Greek letters on the frame or can be more elaborate with handpainted sorority name and the sorority flower or mascot. Using your sorority colors for the background is another way to make it personal.
Many times you can find stickers or a rubber stamp that makes making special sorority gifts very easy.
For example, to make a Tri Sigma picture frame....
Look for a rubber stamp of a sailboat. The ink from the stamp prints the lines of the design onto your frame. Then with the design safely and neatly on the frame, you can use a tiny paint brush to paint in the colors ( a little paint goes a long way)
The frame that I made for the Sorority Sisters site is for Delta Zeta.
The frame already had the plaid mat. I drew a simple turtle on drawing paper, colored it with pencils, cut it out, and glued it to the mat (under the glass). Then using white acrylic paint, I painted "Delta Zeta" and embellished it with two pink flowers on either end. The green frame, the pink flowers, and the pink and green turtle all display the Delta Zeta colors or pink and green.
This idea is easy, inexpensive, and so appreciated, especially when it includes a picture of Big Sis and Little Sis together.

If you are an Alpha Chi Omega sister and would like have a stash of A Chi O gifts, you will love the Alpha Chi Omega deals that often come from eBay This picture shows a batch of sorority gifts that were recently sold through an auction. It appears that the butterfly was the mascot for this Alpha Chi Omega chapter.
Alpha Chi Omega Sorority Gifts

For Big/Little sorority gifts, many girls like to give lots of small sorority items, sometimes combined in a sorority gift basket and sometimes just to have a little gift to give every few days. Also, it is nice to have a gift that can be mailed in an envelope like these stickers.
You only need a sharpie or other permanent marker (I like the fine tip for neater writing) and a bunch of foam shape stickers from a craft shop. The foam shapes are stickers. You just peel the paper off of the back and expose the stickiness.
I divided the shapes into colors and then used all the yellow stars for Chi Omega stickers.
Make dotted Greek letters with the Sharpie pen. You simply draw you letters like print and then finish by adding DOTS to the ends of the letters. It makes the letters look more finished and professional, don't you think?
Quick and easy sorority gifts like these can be whipped up in a few minutes.

The is one of my favorite Delta Zeta designs because it incorporates the Greek letters with the Delta Zeta Turtle mascots.
This sorority gift craft project is an example of what you can do with a plastic container (pink bucket) and paint pens that you buy from the craft store. I used a dark green pen, a light green pen, and a black pen for this design. I think there is a touch of white in there, too.
I always start with a pattern on paper. I transfer the pattern to my bucket with graphite paper which you can buy from a craft store for this purpose. I place the graphite paper on the bucket where I wanted to put the design with the pattern on top of it. I then used a ball point pen to transfer the turtle Greek Letter design onto the bucket. ---Trace it on lightly! You don't want dark lines showing that you can't cover with paint. You just need enough of the pattern to show so that you know where to paint!
I shook the paint pens for awhile to mix up the paint. Then I uncapped each pen as I used it, but first started the flow of paint by pressing the pen tip firmly against a piece of scrap paper until the paint started flowing. Then I filled in my design just like coloring in a coloring book. For the black, you can use a permanent pen like a fine sharpie for the detail lines like the turtle's eye and smile.
The paint from the paint pens dries fast. I like to spray acrylic varnish over a design to give it lasting power, but it is not necessary. (The acrylic spray I use is made by Krylon and I think it is called Clear Coat or Clear something.)
That's it for making a Delta Zeta bucket.
Paint pens are great for painting your Greek Letters on foam can coolers like the ones seen in the picture behind the bucket.
