I don't know if this would be feasible, but one thing we've done for the past few years at Theta chapter is we hire a student accapella group (guys of course :P) to come and sing some songs for us for a little while. It's always a big hit with both the new girls and the sisters. They usually come for a little under an hour, which is nice because that way it takes up a fair amount of without taking up the entire day.
I know in the past we've also done crafts together as a "buddy" and a new member. Since bigs and littles haven't been assigned yet, it's usually a great way to make a new friend on the first day. We usually do something like, a giant heart split in 2 and each group decorates their heart so the pieces match between the sister and the new member.
Going with your theme, you can do something crafty, like decorating a jar and fill it with coffee beans. You can paint glass, add ribbon, fabric, stickers, etc. You could then add a label, so everyone knows what kind of coffee it is.
P.S. I don't know if you've heard this before, but it goes with your theme..."A cup of coffee shared with a friend is happiness tasted and time well spent"
