Congrats on your presidency! I hope things go great for you at Emory!
For lighting, the white christmas lights help. You can also search for the mini spotlights -don't know what else to call them....you plug them in, usually outside, to light up a tree. They can be pretty bright and you can aim them where ever you want.
This is a more expensive idea, so don't know if it's possible for you. At Target, they usually have these cute table top lamps that are in the shape of a crescent moon or star. They have some type of paper mache (i know that is totally spelled wrong) covering.
You could also make a crescent moon and/or stars out of plywood and poke holes in it, then put the christmas lights in the holes from the back.
For table decorations, try getting or making styrofoam or floral foam (green stuff) crescent moons and covering them with fake pink carnations. My undergrad did that a couple years ago and it was so cute (they do recruitment in the student center b/c no one has a house). They also got helium balloons, tied really long ribbon on to it and attached paper stars to the end, so the stars hung in the air. If allowed, you could write the names of each pref attendee on a star/balloon,show it to her and tell her to make a wish, then let it go (obviously don't let her take it out). A little cheesy, but could be fun depending if your chapter likes it. Some of our balloons did deflate during the day. The alums and floaters walked around and collected some of them as they fell. It was kind of cute though (falling/shooting stars...make a wish).
good luck! I'm sure your chapter will do great!
