Not being able to attend the meetings made us want to be full-fledged sisters even more. It really created a feeling of excited anticipation for us... We couldn't wait until our own initiation so that we could find out what we'd been missing. 
BTW - I love your sock and candy stories-- both are very cute ways to do a Big Sis revealing! Were y'all allowed to go on a weekend retreat for your revealing?

As far as chapter meetings go the new members are led out during any part of the meeting that is pertaining to ritual. So, really there still was the anticipation of wanting to know what the whole thing was about. Also, they aren't allowed to get all of the group emails that we send out daily (we receive around 10-15 emails per day from chapter members with business pertaining to the chapter). They have their own email account where the New Member Educator screens emails and sends only information that she sees as important for the girls. Obviously, if we're sending out info to plan for their events we don't want them to know ahead of time!
Our Big Sis reveal was done during a new member meeting (the new girls weren't told ahead of time). Any chapter member could go if they wanted. Afterward, your whole greek family (big, lil, grand big, ect.) usually goes out to eat.
