If you're shy, I rather think setting up a meeting with a stranger and interviewing someone is an even more daunting prospect than sitting at a table with people wearing the same letter shirt as you as a pre-set time. If I was shy and had the alternative, I'd just take a seat at the table before having to make the first move and interview someone.

Members are so over-programmed. Making people interview members in their spare time is just one more thing on an already impossibly long list.

Here is another alternative to the interviews. Make it an all-chapter activity at chapter retreat. Have all of the members interview one another and make their own personal chapter directories. I'd be willing to bet there are seniors who don't know the sophomores, in addition to the new members meeting everyone and getting to know them. It could be kind of fun and loud and a good way to bond. Everyone gets a directory with a sisters' name and contact info on a page and blank questions like favorite color/TV show/fraternity, major/year in school/hometown, big/lil, and walks around filling in the blanks. Maybe even have cameras to take photos together and print them and paste them into your books. That makes it an all-chapter event and accomplishes some good group bonding.
