dinners are a big thing that we do...
we organize Big Bro/Little Bro dinners, Pledge/Officer dinners, Brothers cook/serve the pledges dinner, have alumni over for dinner. Pretty much anything that can make them feel like they're part of the chapter, not just the chapter's bitches.
a popular thing that we implemented 3 pledge classes ago was the "earn your letters" program. each pledge buys a T-shirt (of the same color) on the night of covanent. then along the pledge process, the Hegemon awards the pledges, in order, the "T" the "K" and the "E." Then soon after they are initiated, they take the shirt and the letters to a seamstress and then they have a unique letter shirt for their pledge class. you determine what it takes to earn each letter. we do it based on a point system -- play intramurals, become involved in at least one on-campus club/organization outside Greek Life, participate in all service/philanthropic events, bring over at least one guy who receives a bid, etc.
this is something that is VERY popular with the brothers and when the pledges are awarded their letters during the chapter meeting, they feel very important. Then when they wear those letters after initiation, they feel like they really earned them.
