i know our chapter had a problem with this until this year. the best thing is for you and your sisters to spend a lot of time with them. its hard coming into something new where you hardly know anybody. our nmc really concentrated on spending time with them and getting our sisters to spend a lot of time with them. i know with us we had quite a few who were really homesick so we had to show them that we were there for them. i know our nmc held sleepovers at her apartment were they could all get to know each other better and she also invited the sisters to stay overnight or even just drop by for a little while. i know they had a lot of fun with that. i know on bid day she gave each of them a pi pal and thats a sister who is there for them in the beginning to make them feel at home and she spends quality time with her and usually buys her a small adpi gift. then a month or so later at sisterhood retreat they got their diamond sisters.....and this year we really concentrated on spending a lot of time with them....of course they got their usual gifts also....and sisters would drop cards or letters to them every week or so for a while. i know a lot of this really helps but they main thing is spending quality time with them even if its just going to walmart.
pi love,
kayla
