As for greek shops, I love "Any Occation" right on the main drag. They always have great stuff. Have you looked at alphaxidelta.org lately? In the marketplace they have some really cute choose children t-shirts.
I understand what you are saying about the pool party and wanting to save it for a mixer or something... but, I have to tell you that the one that I went to was a blast. The chapter got a lot of great photos of each of the pledge classes, they had big/little sis "chicken" fights, they even got to throw the MVP, Chapter Advisor, President, and Membership Advisor in the pool, and it wasn't expensive - in fact, most of the food was donated by the alum chapter - and a lot of the alums attended to help grill the burgers! It was a great way to show the new members how much support there is.
I bet you could get pretty good rates at the water park. That time of year when all of the kids are back in school - I bet the waterpark would be begging you to have an event. Depending on the day of the week you may even get some pretty special treatment.
Either way, a cool item for your bid day buckets would be an Alpha Xi Delta beach towel or some other "beachy" or water related item.
I hope this helps... I'll keep thinking of ideas for you. You may also want to post this question in the Recruitment Forum... some members in other organizations may have some ideas as well.
