My chapter, Lambda Tau, used to have a yearly Rose Ball in the fall where the new initiates wore white and were presented by their fathers and big sisters. The event was always really special (though I really hated my white dress! Ha!) For scholarship, we had the Pi Club. All sister with semester GPA above 3.14 were invited to an ice cream or pizza party to celebrate. Also, the woman with the highest semester GPA had a Ruby A badge to wear for the next semester as an honor. We, consequently, had the highest GPA on campus every year. Like Katherine said, we also did roses (with an occasional thorn thrown in.)
A funny tradition that we had that I think is not widespread in AOII was to ALWAYS remove all the thorns from roses we used for ceremonies or gave to sisters. A good boyfriend always knew to have the thorns removed from red roses before sending them to his AOII girlfriend!

Yay! I was unaware of AOII day...one of my friends is a Zeta and she has spoken of Zeta Day in which all of the chapters in the state/area come together. I am assuming this is pretty much the same thing?
