Whatever design you decide on, make sure the material holds up for an entire day, or in our case 2, of Recruitment. Craft foam, laminating, hot glue guns, etc.

Also don't make them too big. I've seen some massively huge nametags over the years that are borderline obnoxious as well as cumbersome. Along with that, think about the attire the actives will be wearing. Silky, gauzy, spaghetti straps, strapless, etc can be difficult to attach a heavy/bulky nametag to.

Please don't use straight pins!!! I've seen too many girls running around in bare feet after the parties step on a lost straight pin. It only costs a few bucks for those closable pins (i.e. jewelry pins) at almost any craft store, then glue them on.

I think in some craft stores you can even find the magnetic attachments for nametags so that it won't puncture holes in your clothes. Plus, they hold better because the magnet is attracting to the other side the whole strip of the way, as opposed to the closable (or even straight pins) that only really "hold" at the two points where the pin is going through the fabric
