Hi my lovelies:
Here are my thoughts:
(1) Casey--when (what date/week) would you like to have the Museum in a Box at the chapter? Tell me and I will order it. We'll figure out the money later.
(2) Secret Key Pals: I love this idea. It's super excellent. Just make sure that ALL the New Members WANT to do this--it can't be forced on them, and it has to be ONLY among the New Members, not New Members giving gifts to Actives. You would need to specify how long this would go on--one gift a week during the New Member period? That would be reasonable.
(3) Car Wash--can't do it. SO AGAINST THE RULES....sorry girls. Even if the New Members want to do it, they can't. I can explain further if you want me to, but there's basically no way around this one!
(4) Dinner--Our New Members can not cook dinner for Sig Ep's (or another house's) new members or actives. This would look like hazing, even though I know that is not your intent. You COULD, however, have a New Member potluck or picnic dinner, where KKG New Members bring some food, and Sig Ep (or other house)'s New Members bring some food, and they all eat together. Even cooler would be an all-greek New Member Potluck or Picnic Dinner, where all the New Members from all the chapters get together for dinner that they all contributed to. Or, you could have KKG New Members eat dinner in Trim once each week with the new members of the other chapters... just some thoughts.
(5) Email list. This is wonderful. Don't do an email list just for New Members, though... need to have them on the chapter-wide list for anti-hazing purposes. They should be encouraged to start a New Member phone tree, however.
(6) Sleepovers are a no-no--more so on Babson's rules than on Kappa's, but we don't want to lose our Tower, eh?
Love the new ideas! Keep em coming!!!
