Attached to the handle is a green chord but the handle itself is white with the year "1995" in light green lettering surrounded by dark green ivy. The paddle itself is a rainbow going in reverse order. At the top off the paddle is a purple octopus holding a light blue flag with "FALL PLEDGE CLASS" and it is also holding a black infinity sign. Below the octopus is the Greek letters for the sorority but between them is a yellow rose. At the very bottom of the paddle is a black cauldron with a pig, enguin, rabbit, and a duck inside. In the front of the cauldron is a lamb and a chick. Behind the cauldron in the center is a bear - to the left of the bear is an elephant and to the right of the bear is Mufasa from The Lion King.
