1. Finance 101 (i.e. paying back student loans, investing, paying taxes)
2. Cooking class with local alumnae club (learning the basics)
3. Career workshop (i.e. resume writing, interview tips, using your networks)
4. Shopping together for business attire
5. Wine tasting? (I don't know if this is okay because it has to do with alcohol, although it would be a third-party vendor).
It would be great to hear what other chapters are doing! I'm sure there are a lot of great ideas out there! =]

My only reservations:
Money. Some sisters might get left out if they can't afford to attend the wine tasting or might feel bad if everyone goes shopping and they can't afford to make any purchases. If you do these events try talking to your seniors beforehand to work out finances. (That being said, I think they're both good ideas).
I very much wish things like this had been made available for myself as a senior.
