You were looking for some ideas...the post about "two questions" quite a while ago and has lots of info for the MC education program. You can read a lot about it there.
As for the Beta chapter, we have pledge mom and pops who will lead the MC through their education. The pledge moms support their pledge by listening and checking up on them. We let the MCs pick their big sis which may make it more exciting for the MC because they actually pick the person instead of being assigned them. Maybe they don't have as much in common as their big if they are assigned instead of chosen, etc. Plus it becomes an honor for an active to be chosen as a big sister.
I would suggest this system if yours isn't working as well as the past...the pledge moms at the Beta chapter don't really get the MCs gifts every week, however the MCs DO recieve gifts from their pledge moms at initiation and gifts from their big sis and pledge moms at activation. These gifts tend to be more expensive such as an embroidered Sigma Alpha bag, picture frames etc.
Good luck with everything and let me know how things turn out.
