Whatever design you decide on, make sure the material holds up for an entire day, or in our case 2, of Recruitment. Craft foam, laminating, hot glue guns, etc.
Also don't make them too big. I've seen some massively huge nametags over the years that are borderline obnoxious as well as cumbersome. Along with that, think about the attire the actives will be wearing. Silky, gauzy, spaghetti straps, strapless, etc can be difficult to attach a heavy/bulky nametag to.
Please don't use straight pins!!! I've seen too many girls running around in bare feet after the parties step on a lost straight pin. It only costs a few bucks for those closable pins (i.e. jewelry pins) at almost any craft store, then glue them on.
