Hi ladies. I just wanted to let you know that I received an email today from Linda Beavin and Melissa Jones stating that there will not be a fraternity education exam again this year. They want each chapter to engage in some type of activity (Phi Sig Jeopardy or whatever) that will test your knowledge of Phi Sig material. Here is a copy of what Melissa Jones wrote:
Ok, since I have still heard nothing in regards to the fraternity education exam here is the deal. Please have your chapters do the same thing they did last year. I have attached the verification form from the Collegiate Calendar and this lists out a few examples of exercises they can do. No need to create anything elaborate as long as the chapter works on this exercise together. Please let me know if you have any questions.
Instructions for completing the FRATERNITY EDUCATION EVENT VERIFICATION FORM
Plan to spend up to 1 hour on a fraternity education event. This should be easy to fit into your chapter schedule, and less time consuming than taking and scoring a fraternity education exam.
You could use one of the ideas list below, or a combination of these ideas and other chapter fraternity education traditions. Remember that small prizes always help motivate sisters to do their very best – rewards need not be expensive, just fun!
Paper Bag Skits:
Collect a box full of everyday items, for example: a cup, a spatula, a stapler, crayons, a sponge, etc. Divide the items up into paper bags, with 6 – 8 items in each bag. Then, create index cards with different fraternity education topics on them.
Divide the chapter into teams of 4 people. Give each team a paper bag and an index card. Each team has 15 minutes to create a skit explaining the topic on their index card, using all of the materials in their paper bag.
At the end of 15 minutes, go around the room and let each team perform their skit. The vice archon & chapter advisor can judge the skits, and award a small prize to the winning group!
Brainstorming:
Break the chapter into 2 teams. Each team gets a sheet of paper from a flip chart. Each team should designate a writer, to document their list.
The vice archon names a topic – such as name the offices of Supreme and Grand Council. Teams then have 60 seconds to call out the offices. The “writer” documents their list. At the end of 60 seconds, the vice archon reviews the answers with the group. The team with the most correct answers wins a point. Repeat with clean paper, for the members of the National Panhellenic Conference, past grand archons, etc.
Games:
Use fraternity education topics to create a game modeled after Jeopardy, Family Feud, the $100,000 Pyramid, the Weakest Link, or Who Wants to Be a Millionaire. Divide the chapter into teams, and ham it up as the host!
I hope everyone is having a good week so far. If anyone has any questions about the Fraternity Education Exam, feel free to contact me and ask. That's what advisor's are for!
