Senior Stuff
Hello:
As far as ceremonies go, we do the senior ceremony that's in the ceremonies manual, but we also do some other fun things. We have a banquet for the seniors inviting their parents, friends, boyfriends, etc. We have them walk down an isle to the front while reading a blurb about them. They then sit in front of everyone and we present them with a senior gift (usually a framed picture of the front of our house) and their aphil family members present them with a book of letters written to them by their peers or their parents. Each person has two or three letters read out loud to them. It is really great. People laugh and cry. After the ceremony, we have cookies, juice, and desserts available for everyone.
Before the ceremony that's usually on a Monday, we have a senior breakfast on Sunday morning. The chapter cooks breakfast for the seniors. We have fruit, make pancakes, bacon, eggs, and have bagels and juice. At this event we do and roast or toast and the seniors read their senior wills. It's a fun event because everyone likes to come to get free food on a Sunday morning.
Throughout the semester, we do a senior spotlight each week highlighting a different senior. We make them a poster board which people can put pictures, quotes, stories, or magazine cut outs on. After their week, we hang the boards outside their doors. We also display the boards during the Senior banquet.
We also play senior jeopardy giving facts about the seniors or read the answers to questions the seniors have answered in chapter and have the chapter guess what senior we're talking about.
For our chapter, our Director of Member Education does all senior programming.
Those are just some of the things we do. Let me know if you need anymore help!
