Hiya. Got some good ideas from this board and thought I would post up.

Nu-Lambda Chapter
Initiated Fall 2005
Current Social Chair
People said they want to know what is going on so here goes. Our chapter went through some issues recently. We ended up expelling or suspending about 40 people, for reasons I still don't really understand. To be honest, I was sort of duped because as we were pledging while all of this was going down. Anyway, most of my closest friends were those suspended or kicked out. I still had a blast this past year, best of my life in fact. Learned a lot about myself. I almost resigned along with a lot of my friends, but then I thought "why not give back to an organization that gave me so much?". So I took on the responsibilities of Social Chair. It is rough because of all the things we went through, the new restrictions put on us by HQ, and our chapters rigid adherence to it don't really facilitate a good social scene. We can't throw our 10:01 or our annual Halloween Havoc. So that is the standing of our chapter at the moment!
On a different, and brighter, note, I am planning our mixers for this year. I have a ton of ideas for themes, but activities are rough. Our leadership won't allow drinking at mixers, so I am trying to make other things to do. Currently, I am thinking we will do a Medieval Madness theme for one, and New Years in November for another, with a Crush party thrown in (actually this is normally done by sororities, but it sounded pretty fun). This is really important to have awesome mixers because trying to rebuild a rep is not easy. Do you guys have any ideas as far as non-alcoholic activities that can be done? For the medieval one, I am thinking we would elect a royal family a la high school prom, king, queen, prince, princess, bishop, and fool or something. They would then run the mixer, with a nice lil surprise thrown in for them at the end
. I am sure I can come up with stuff to do, but if anyone has any ideas feel free to share em!
