Doesn't every chapter have a Founder's Day celebration? My chapter (Alpha Iota) usually has it in February, since they're not in school in May, and that's when AI was founded. If there's a local alumnae group, they really should handle it for the chapter; unfortunately, ours is currently stagnant.
Speaking of teas, I have to say that I am shocked by what some people (not all sorority) try to pass off as a tea! A tea can be one of the least expensive & easiest forms of entertaining available, and yet I've seen cold cuts, casseroles, etc! I had mentioned a tea to the chapter when I was an advisor, explaining that they should run about $25 for the tea, coffee, and cookies (especially since certain alumnae always bring more cookies).
Honestly, when you say "Tea", alumnae only expect to see coffee & tea (brewed in the kitchen, poured without the bags, PLEASE!), sugar, sweetener, lemon slices, cream, and cookies or a cake. Give yourselves a break and don't knock yourselves out!
We also had Senior Wills, and more that I'm not remembering right now. It seemed as if we had a tea a month!
