Here are some fun things we do in our meetings:
Smart Cookies - if you made an A on a test or a project during the week, you get a smart cookie from the scholarship director - usually anchor shaped cookies. Yum!
Seat of Knowledge - awarded from time to time when a sister does something academically outstanding - the seat is a toilet seat that hangs on the wall of our study lounge, you get to sign it. [brag] I was the 1st person in the chapter to sign it because I had made a 4.0 with 21 hours!![/brag].
Inspiration Box - a box where sisters can write notes to other sisters who have done something nice for them during the week. We read a few out each week.
From time to time we also give out silly little awards (usually just drawn out on computer paper). It keeps things funny.
The most important thing we do is Sweet & Sours. We do this each week no matter what. At the end of chapter (even if everyone is cranky and just wants to leave) we circle up and go around the circle and share good (sweet) or bad (sour) things that are going on in our lives. Every one of the 100 sisters shares something. It's good to hear what everyone is involved (good or bad). We get a lot of "I am so happy I don't have any tests coming up for a week" and "I have 3 tests, 2 papers, and 1 project due this week, I think I'm going to die." After you hear all of these, you know who to check up on during the week...send Miss. Drowning in Homework a sweet note on Wednesday...
That's about it.
