I was a founding member of my chapter too! Something we did that really helped was have twins (like big/lil). We also had families too...our consultants matched our twins according to our profiles and then grouped into families...sp it was like have a great big sis, grand big sis etc. Also we developed traditions within our families that are still be carried on now!! We also had a pajamma party/sleep over (with 154 members) at one the apartment complexes general use room and watched movies, made pancakes, told stories...it was a good way for us to have to get to know each other. Another thing your advisors/chapter consultant should make ya'll do is go on a retreat where you only have each other to talk to...no cells or anything like that. A lot of the sororities do this with their new member classes so they all will bond. Just some suggestions for you!!
