- Introduction
- The creation of paddles for collegiate fraternities and sororities has been a common tradition for decades. Typically, new members (or pledges), will create a paddle for their big brother or big sister during the new member education process. An entire pledge class may also create a paddle for their New Member Educator. Additionally, Greek Paddles may be created by close friends within the Greek Community as a unique gift.
- Indeed, a Greek paddle is truly a unique gift for anyone. Paddles can be highly personalized with different phrases, colors, symbols, and a variety of decorations. Therefore, you can create a paddle specifically designed to the unique taste and preferences of the individual receiving this gift. Our informative guide will walk you through specific steps in planning and completing your paddle making project. If you have any specific questions, give us a call at 352-338-1121 or email us at shop@onegreekstore.com.
Before beginning your paddle making project, it is important for you to first plan what information will go on your paddle. The amount of text will help determine what size letters and what size paddle you may use.
Keep in mind that some organizations may require specific information to be included on the paddle. Such information may include the crossing semester, organization's Greek letters, a crest/shield, the Big Brother's or Sister's name, your name, school, chapter, etc. Be sure to check with other members of your organization to confirm what is exactly required for your paddle.
If this paddle is simply a gift without any particular requirements, then some common information you may include are Greek Letters for the organization, your name, the name of the person receiving the gift, and various symbols to personalize the paddle.
