we haven't really started writing our rituals yet, so i completely understand looking for ideas!

candles are always nice to incorporate... the flame representing the eternal bond of sisterhood or anything that fits with your org. it might be nice to get your founders to write a message to be read to all girls being initiated so they will always be involved in the initiation process and make the girls feel a greater sense of tradition. you could even make it an over-night event like a lock in where the girls decorate their first paddle or create a piece of art as a group to decorate the chapter house. You could have a giant canvas showing all the families in your org and make part of your ritual be adding their name to the sorority's family tree.... there are tons of things you can do!

Also, you could take a look at some wiccan rituals online for ideas for wording and a little more theatrics, although i strongly suggest you never attempt casting a circle or including pagan imagery (many people could be offended).

Remember, your organization's rituals should be special and meaningful to your own values, so as long as there is not hazing or illegal activity involved you're free to do whatever you want!
