Our chapter has sisterhoods called firesides, whic is basically bonding time. We have done stuff such as giving everyone candles and having them tell somone they don't usually talk to what they mean to them and lighting thier candle, and then that person talks to someone and lights that next person'a candle. Another is writitng out lil slips of paper with a question on eachone and you go around the room asking eachother questions. When we are new memebers we had a fireside at our retreat where we all just talked about the most important thing that has ever happened to you, we went through like 10 boxes of kleenex and totally bonded as a pledge class. We try to have two firesides a month, another during rush, one with the new memebers and one with the seniors before they graduate. Its a great way to get to know girls you wouldn't otherwise and making it by a fireplace or with some nice candles makes it feel almost like ritual, its very moving and beautiful.
