With my chapter, when it came to the more "creative" part of the Chaplain's job where she could read what she liked, it was usually a very general, inspirational quote. Sometimes they were funny, sometimes they were serious, but they always appealed to the chapter as a whole.

Some of my favorites that I'll never forget:

"Give me a stock clerk with a goal and I'll give you a man who will make history. Give me a man with no goals and I'll give you a stock clerk."
- J.C. Penney

"I don't believe the accident of birth makes people sisters or brothers. It makes them siblings. Gives them mutuality of parentage. Sisterhood and brotherhood is a condition people have to work at."
- Maya Angelo

You could also say a quote that was made by a prominent sister, or a sister who has had a great influence on the sorority in the past (such as one of the founders). A few times, our Chaplains have recited quotes made by national staff members at conventions or leadership workshops.

There are many different things you can do with this. Try and ask the sisters what they would like to hear. This will give you a better idea as to which direction you should be headed in when trying to come up with something to say.
