Some general ideas:
- Make CD more interactive and relaxed than the formal business chapter meetings as often as possible, but whether they are fun or serious, make sure that the time is used WISELY!
- You might choose not to disclose the topic/activity until the meeting begins each week, giving CD a certain air of anticipation.
- Utilize CD time in whatever way that time is most needed (recruitment workshops might be one, creating signs for intramurals and philanthropies might be another, writing fundraising letters to parents/alumnae...)
- Bring in supplemental speakers on important topics like hazing, alcohol awareness, self-defense instruction.
- Utilize CD for "fun" learning as well, such as a yoga class, a consultant from a spa or makeup counter, etiquette instruction, or making your own iron-on letter shirts and bags.
- Ask alumnae to come in and give a presentation. It could be a talk about their professions, something fun like a craft, or simply an opportunity to learn "retro" cheers and songs.
