Hello! Congrats on your chapter, I wish you all of the best! I'm a charter member of Sigma Phi Lambda so I can be the voice to say you will have girls come! The first year is always the most difficult and it is SO important to be able to get your name out there. Our chapter has been through 4 rushes and we now have around 70 girls! We usually do a very informal Pledge Day. It usually includes a formal invitation to pledge Phi Lamb with a flower that is delivered by one of our sisters. It also includes an invitation and directions to our "Welcome to the Family" party. We usually do a big BBQ at one of our member's household so that all of the pledges have the opportunity to meet all of the sisters. We do it on the saturday of rush week, and then we give them their personalized bags there and of course take lots of pictures! I know of another sorority that does do a formal dress up day with flowers and pictures however our BBQ fits us pretty well. We make it a wonderful all day event with a giant slip and slide and lots of food, fun and mingling! I hope that helps but let me know if you need any additional ideas. Good luck!
