Hi There,
We had a committee chair for each of the areas mentioned, but we were a big chapter (over 100 members). Typically each new chair held a combination of old programs/fundraisers/events and new ones that they created.
For professional development, we had company presentations during chapter. Sometimes we would have presentations open to the campus. However we rarely did these unless we could guarantee sufficient attendance. During the career fair season we had a corporate bar crawl where we secured representatives from several companies to participate in a bar crawl with us on one of the evenings of the career fair. We also had a few office visits, ettiquete dinners, and golf lessons.
For social, we had an event at least once a week. I think we called it Thursdau Night Outtings, but I may be remembering wrong. This used to be a happy hour, but by the time that I graduated we had expanded it to movie nights, broomball, paintball, capture the flag, game night, etc. to make our sober brothers feel comfortable. Additionally, we always took a day trip to a local state park for games, bar b que, and canoeing. We also had an active walk out once a year (I think we called it walk out). We had an overnight event (off campus) for our pledges to bond and celebrate being chosen as pledges. We thought it would be nice to do something similar for actives, so all the actives would go away overnight once a year to bond. There was a senior Thanksgiving trip to Vegas every year as well. Oh, we also had a formal every spring and a barn dance every fall.
Finally for fundraising, we ran a consession stand during football season (I think we got 1/2 of the profits). We also had bake sales and solicited alumni. I honestly can't remember what else we did b/c the project changed every year, and fundraising wasn't a big part of the chapter.
