AMEN.
Don't immediately join every committee and position available. You may see this as enthusiasm - others may see it as pushy. Plus, if the older sisters are OK fine with someone who's been around for 2.5 seconds doing everything while they sit back - that may signal a problem within the chapter.
There may be older sisters who aren't on campus or around the sorority much because they're last semester seniors, student teaching, studying abroad or have off-campus internships. Get their contact info and take the time to drop them an email or card - even if it's not "required" - introducing yourself (especially if you are in their family line). They will appreciate it more than you know.
Don't talk incessantly about your GLO to your family, friends, boyfriend/girlfriend or even other members of the sorority. "The other day at the house we did so and so" gets tired quickly. Be happy and proud - but not obsessed!!
