I just got done being New Member Coordinator for our chapter. One thing I did was to have fake money for the new members to recieve when they did things with the chapter to get involved: for example, when they came to meetings, when they answered questions, when they participated in a philanthropy event (for other chapters as well)...really for anything they did! At the end of the new member period, I had a "store" of gifts for them and they could use all the "money" they received to get some fun items!
At meetings, I would bring about 10-15 t-shirts with me that were handed down from older sisters or left over from things and I would ask questions about things they needed to know. If they got it right, they got a t-shirt.
For our diamond sister revealing, I had each older sister pick a pair of matching items (this could be anything...like milk & cookies, apples & oranges, vase & flowers, etc.) Each older sister was responsible for finding two items to represent their pair. To reveal the diamond sister pairs, the older sisters would be standing in a circle holding one of their items and their new diamond sister was given the other item and hand to find the sister with the pair. It turned out to be a lot of fun!
