Start with each individual fraternity, and see if they have any national traditions.

When I was at school, Phi Delta Theta was trying to raise their campus profile, and they found out that a lot of their chapters did "Kiss & Carnation" on Bid Day. (Yes, I know it can't be done ON Bid Day now, but surely it can be worked out!)

Anyhow, they would get lists of each pledge class, and 3-4 nicely dressed brothers would show up, with a kiss and a carnation for each new pledge. They read a "Welcome to the Greek System" letter first, and had a card for each pledge, too. It was a very nice tradition, and something that wouldn't cost much yet add value to the system as a whole.

Did anyone else have Kiss & Carnation?
