-Your most recent initiates are your BEST resource for rush ideas and critiques. Use them!!! Let them know their input will make a difference.
-Stress responsibility. I think a lot of the "letdown" comes because you can't make pledges do anything and it can seem easy, but once you become an active, everything is mandatory. IMO it should be the other way around.
-Make sure the new girls KNOW that just because hanging out at the house, going out with sisters isn't "mandatory" - they will get out of it what they put into it. No one is going to beg them to hang out if they always blow people off.
I will probably think of more later.
