i advise an unhoused chapter and they do have to make an effort to connect with the new members. they have weekly "letters and lunch" day, where they all wear a zeta t-shirt and sit together in the cafeteria. the temporary big sisters are pretty good about getting together with their potential little sisters, meeting them for lunch, taking them for coffee or ice cream or to a movie or sporting event.
we had a sign that was always on the bulletin board on the 2nd floor landing of my house that simply said "K.R.O.P." new members had no idea what it meant, but initiated sisters new that it meant "Keep Rushing Our Pledges"-because we knew that they had to feel at home and just because they signed a bid card did not mean that it was a done deal!
