It sounds like the problem lies with your active members and not your new members. I agree with RaggedyAnn. You need to encourage last year's pledge class to make this year's pledge class feel welcome. And stay away from the active interviews by new members unless you want to require everyone to play the same game. The chapter I advise has pledge class dinners. The new members will have dinner one week with the sophomore pledge class, the junior pledge class the next week and then the senior pledge class the following week. This seems to encourage new members (and active members) to bond with their pledge class while meeting with other sisters.
