COB ideas?
 

I recently took on the position of MVP and I'm having trouble coming up with COB ideas that will work with what we have. We don't have a chapter house and the only space we have is a small house that a few sisters live in. Any ideas for fun COB events? Also, it's winter here so that means no picnics or BBQs :( Any advice would be helpful!! ♥☀

We once had a COB making cookies and having hot chocolate with some girls.

You could always reserve a few bowling lanes and get pizza. Mix up actives and PNMs for teams.

What about a craft activity? Have everyone bring a few photos and make a scrapbook page or memo board. The photos could be a conversation starter. Sisters could bring photos of recent activities to show PNMs what the chapter does together. PNMs could bring recent photos of favorite activities to show interests, etc.

To use the small house that your sisters live in, you could set up some food stations with fondue pots. That way you have snacks that also force people to mingle and chat. Or you could have plain coffee, hot chocolate, or tea and have everyone make their own personalized hot drink by setting out whipped cream, marshmallows, flavored syrups, etc.

I like some of the ideas mentioned above, however I would say use the events you already have scheduled as much as possible so you avoid burnout of your members. Also, try and keep things simple - no need to break the bank. Coffee, fro-yo, bubble tea, watching favorite TV shows (good because there are commericals, as opposed to a movie), etc. HTH!

We did a mocktail party and it was great! We wore cocktail dresses and made several small Hors d'œuvre with fraternity boys attending as our servers. Thanks for the great ideas girls!
