I’ve heard that a few other chapters do similar but I have only seen pictures from Nu Beta.

Congrats rubynpearlgirl, it's always nice to hear from new AOIIs.
Alpha Lambda also does Red Rose Ball the same as Nu Beta. We actually had 2 formals a year (fall and spring) fall was called New Member formal (pledge formal in the earlier days) and spring was just Spring formal except every 4 years when it was Red Rose Ball. The only one that specified what we wore was Red Rose Ball (also the only one where the guys wore tuxes).
As far as Big/Little goes I would think that the existing members would start taking "littles" with the next new member class and the family trees will grow from there.
Other tradition ideas would be a "sister/new member" retreat following formal recruitment, annual philanthropy event, loving cup.
