Do a values contract workshop--split the group into values teams, with a mix of ages in each group. Assign them a value that is important to your organization (ie sisterhood, friendship, loyalty etc.) and ask the groups to come up with 5-10 charges/statements. Example: Because we are Gamma Phi and we value sisterhood, we will not engage in activities which degrade out members etc. Put each team's list into one contract. Use this to get the conversation going about what is important to the group, to talk about what makes their sorority experience meaningful and then make sure everyone receives (and possibly signs) the values contract written that day.
The other thing I have used with some success is having each sister explain briefly why they are there and what they want to get out of their sorority experience. Often just realizing what the expectations or needs are helps to focus the group and help them get along better.
