Ideas:
* A candle lighting serenade
* Matching gifts (alphas are given a tshirt, a lion with a unique ribbon tied around his neck)
* The alpha reads the first part of a poem and the delta finishes it
* Talk to your adviser, CPD or TME Director for more ideas


Please preface your diamond sister reveal by explaining the following:
With the way ADPi TME is structured, a Diamond Sister is not intended as a best friend forever. ADPi doesn't have Big Sis/Lil Sis programs and families. Instead, we have prides. You have a chapter full of sisters with which to develop special bonds of sisterhood. A Diamond Sister is your personal sponsor and go-to person through your alpha member period. It is hoped you will both make an effort to spend time together and will develop a special bond.

Please make sure that your reveal plans are approved by Exec Board, CPD and TME Director prior to reveal (part of the Alpha Ed Planning Outline). Any changes need to be approved.

At no time, may your reveal include any sort of hunt or quest, including the old string game where you wind string through the house to find your diamond sis on the other side. This is not allowed in current ADPi practices, for liability reasons. Make sure everything is approved before you do it.

ETA- It may seem there are a lot of rules concerning new member activities, but Greeks have come under a lot of scruitiny by NPC, University administrators and lawmakers over the past 30 years. Please use discretion and honor these rules-- respecting the rules and the decision makers are part of our oath and obligation to being members of the sorority and there are reasons why these policies have been adopted. There are still plenty of ways to have fun and enjoy membership although we have had to part company with some old traditions.
