TCPC (Total Chapter Programming Committee) will be meeting in the first few weeks of school to set the spring calendar. Get in touch with your advisor!! If you do not have an active social advisor, contact your chapter advisor! When you are transitioned there are several things you need to be aware of, one of the most important and EARF and rules regarding social events (standards, insurance, mileage from campus, etc). You should have contact information for the other Greek letter orgs on campus (not just fraternities) as well as your Panhellenic and IFC councils. Double check with the individual you are replacing. Don't be afraid to ask her questions now and get some transition started.
Hopefully they are using TCPC and scheduling social events a semester in advance. So many chapters don't effectively use these tools. SMH.

To the OP, did the prior social chair step down? It's odd to have transition over the summer. I agree with AOII*Azra-elle. Check the calendar first. See if you have scheduled events. If you do, then you know where to start. Come up with themes,etc. If you don't have a calendar of events, you can think of ideas, but actually planning dates will have to wait until you get back and can confer with everyone else.
