Unique Chairs/Positions
 

Looking at some chapter's websites I have come across really unique chairs, such as Sunshine chairs, Awards chairs, Lipjam chairs, etc.

My question for everyone on GreekChat is what is a unique chair or position your chapter has/had, or what's an idea you heard of that you really liked?

What does a "sunshine chair" do? Weather reports at chapter meetings?

LOL. The APO chapter at my school has this. The Sunshine Chair's job is to do little things and buy little gifts for the brothers for stuff like birthdays. Essentially try to keep people happy.

Ahhh, I see - the hand-holding chair.

Um we just started a Points System Chair under my position. The VP of Mem D before me is an Excel god and created a whole points system for rewards in Excel. Since there are only a few of our Brothers who can even hold a candle to his skills, we made a chair to take over it (and find a way to run with it and make it awesome). I guess that's the most 'unique/odd' thing we have...

In the Sons of Norway, the Sunshine Chair reports on people's health and stuff. We have a lot of elderly members, so we often hear about hip replacements and the like.

My chapter of Kappa has a Kore Group Koordinator. Kore Groups are like families but they change every once in a while. That chair was responsible for coming up with competitions between the groups and keeping track of the points. It's a morale booster thing. It's also not an official position that all chapters have.

Sustainability Chairman (basically reduce, reuse, recycle chairman!)

I was Sunshine Chair! In my chapter, it was basically another sort-of Unity Chair. I recognized sister's accomplishments, gave awards, and recognized birthdays. Each month, I made a CD mix for everyone who had a birthday that month, e.g., October Birthday Mix along with some candy.

It was pretty much a stepping stone for other positions I eventually held-- it was a nice way to start getting involved. Plus, I got to sit in on the weekly Program Development meetings and help out with other programming projects.

HAHAHAHA!

I'm Fraternity Heritage Chair for my chapter. I didn't think my position was unique or anything, but when people in other GLO's ask me what officer I am and I tell them that, I usually get a "WTF is that?" look. I tell them it's basically a little bit of Historian and New Member Educator...but for all members, not just NMs.
