Obviously you want to make sure that your new members are educated on their organization before they are initiated but don't worry about trying to fill every moment with information. It's easy to have a couple of cram sessions and then run out of things to teach. Instead you can make the remaining time focus on building the bonds of sisterhood and showing them what it's like to be a functioning part of the sorority.
My organization has a fairly long pledging process (one semester) and during that time pledges create a mock executive board, do fundraising and other things around campus. This way they have a good idea of what jobs they're suited for.
Another idea which is popular across our campus is to hold a scavenger hunt with clues about members of the sorority. It makes pledges work together and it's a fun way to let them know more about their potential sisters.
