A lot of things could be a rite of passage, but basically some sort of program which moves the participant from boyhood/girlhood to manhood/womanhood.
For first semester college women, perhaps you could put on a six week series of events geared toward building sisterhood among all women, whether they are interested in sorority life or not. Girls night out at a bowling alley, date rape/relationship responsibility workshops, I dunno, a good mix of discussion groups and cultural activities.
Basically, what your chapter might be doing anyway, but stringing it together in such a way that first-semester freshmen women get an incentive at the end, even if it's just an award and bag of candy.
