My chapter has had chapter retreat at many different places. One year it was at one of the sister's parents cabin...another was in a rec room somewhere right off of campus...This years was supposed to be at the county fair grounds, but when we got there we found out they messed it up..I felt so sorry for the MEVP, since she had been planning it for so long...But we ended up spending the morning there playing games, going over standards policys, and then having lunch. After that we headed back up to the all greek res hall and had the rest of retreat in one of the conference rooms. There we played more games (human note, and leading people through a maze of alphies blindfolded (and it was up to people if they wanted to do that one...I know I didnt...I fall over my own two feet when i can see them))...also we continued a tradition in our chapter of having everyone's have a piece of paper with their names on it and it gets passed around and everyone rights something on it...It is really fun to see them by the end of the day...Umm...what else...we had dinner brought in from Garcia's which was really yummy (the nice part of a sister being the assistant manager there)...Umm...after dinner we did diamond sis revealing...where each diamond sis had decorated a bowl with their name at the bottom and the alpha was supposed to eat the ice cream and find out who it is...which is really really entertaining...and I think the deltas ate more of the ice cream for the alphas then the alphas ate...So after that the diamond sisters went off to get to know eachother...and at the same time the left over deltas were matched up to talk with someone else in the chapter that they dont normally talk to...it was really fun...after that we did a yarn web...where each member told a sisterhood or friend story and we passed around a ball of yarn till it made a web...it was really nice, and I believe showed our alphas exactly how close we really are...After that we had a candle passing and the night ended...It was decided this year not to do an overnight, because we had had issues in the past so we decided to try it not as one this year...It actually worked out really well going from 10am to 10pm...
