Ok, first off, what is the TOUCH Creed? I'm interested!
We do I-Week like this:
P-Purpose, Pizza Night
H-Happiness, Heart Day
I-Involvement, Ice Cream Night
M-Mystery, Mug Night
U-Understanding, Unity Night
We have these AMAZING inspirational notes that each Big C-sis gives to her little. I don't know where they originated, I do not think that they are just our chapters, (in fact I thought they were used by all of the chapters! DUH!) Each day, the big leaves a letter (physical--like a painted wooden letter, or something that they can frame and make pretty) corresponding to what day it is (P, h, i, m, or u day) with the note. Every phi's note is the same, but the Big C's sometimes add something personal inside the card) BTW, if anyone wants a copy of the notes, I will email them to you.
Anyway, after the 5 days of I week, the phi has all of the letters, and 5 inspirational messages that gets her ready to be initiated. If the girl has gotten wooden letters, then she now has pretty letters to put on her mantle or something.
As for the events that the girl does, every night the big and lil c-sis's go do something with that night. So for Pizza night, on P day, they go get pizza together (many times a big group goes together.) on H day, the big C gives the lil C a heart (many give a heart pin box to the Phi so she'll have something to put her badge in) , I night, they get Ice cream together, M night, the Mug ceremony (see below) and then U night, we have Unity night, where all of the Big/Lil C-sis's (and other members, if they want) have a huge sleepover in the suite. Then we have a day off and Initiate on Sunday.
Mug night-- Every Big C. makes 2 mugs (either buys 2 mugs and paints them, or buys 2 identical mugs) and then at the "ceremony" we do this corny, but sweet, mug thing that describes all the parts of the mug, relating it to the parts of our sisterhood (our phi director has it, if anyone would like to see it I can get it). We fill everyone's mug before the ceremony with Pink lemonade (or other non-alcoholic beverage) and at the appropriate time in the ceremony, you give your lil C. her mug, you intertwine your arms, and drink the drink. We also do the Love Honor Truth ceremony either that night or on Unity night.
It's lots of fun, while helping the girls get serious about Initiation.
