A fraternity initiation is any type of ritual (which may involve hazing) that pledges must go through in order to be formally accepted into a fraternity. Most fraternity initiation rituals are kept secret, with only full-fledged members and pledges being initiated having access to details.
What do you put in a fraternity paddle?
Decorating ideas Fraternity paddles are traditionally very plain. Whereas sororities will use bright colors, pictures and glitter to decorate theirs, fraternities only use the most basic supplies on their paddles. It is important to have the fraternity’s Greek letters, your name and the recipient’s name.
What paint do you use on a paddle?
The best paint to use for a paddle is acrylic paint. If you are not sure what paint is what, ask a worker at the craft store when picking it out. They are usually very helpful. Make sure you paint your paddle with at least two coats so it is uniform throughout.
Do sororities still make paddles?
To most sorority alumnae today, paddles represent sisterhood, pride, and tradition. Unfortunately, paddling continues to be used as a hazing tool in fraternities, and although less frequently, sororities too.
