Thanks!

Here are some things that my chapter has done in the past.

1. Movie/Pizza Night
2. Slumber Parties
3. Bowling
4. Pot-Luck Dinners
5. Quilting: Each girls makes a square, with paints, that represents herself. Then the squares are brought to a quilter to be put together.
6. Ceramics: We have a place in town that you can go into and paint pieces of pottery. (Picture Frames, Tile, Cups, Mugs, etc.) After you decorate, you leave the piece there for them to glaze. In a few days you get your artwork back.

These are just a few things. Hope they help.

We went camping one year and it was a BLAST! Of course we were in a cabin and had electricity.

One thing about our Pot-Luck Dinners:

If you get up to get something else to eat or drink, when you go back to sit down, you have to sit at another table. This way you talk to more people than who you initially sat with. Great way to get to know more sisters than with whom you typically hang out.

As alumna, we did pretty much the same thing, only we stayed in a suite at a hotel and hung out at the pool. It was great fun!

For our last retreat, we went to Build-A-Bear. I don't know how well known it is, but it's a store (kinda geared towards little kids) where you pick out a stuffed animal, and you get to stuff it yourself, and make a birth certificate, and dress it, and all these other fun little things. The bears are anywhere from $10 to $20, and they're all really cute! You can even get accessories for it like shoes, jeans, sunglasses, etc. Then we bought plain T-shirts, and went back to a sister's house to puffy paint "lettered" shirts for the bears. I thought it was fun, because now we have a super fun bear to remember our retreat by!

The Build-a-Bear idea is great! Especially if your mascot is a teddy bear.

Another idea is to have a scrapbooking event of some kind where everyone gets together and works on their individual sorority scrapbooks.

You could get together and decorate giftbags for children in the hospital (or something related to your philanthropy) - that way you're all hanging out together AND doing something useful.

We had a PJ party at IHOP and it was a blast and all the sisters love it. Road trips and camping are great too. If you are stuck in a car or the wilderness, you gotta learn to love the people you are with!

I absolutely love sisterhood events!!!!
A really great idea is crafts night where everybody brings something to paint, like a plaque or a wooden box and everyone around, talking and painting.
Another awsome thing to do is a scavenger hunt, one way that this can work is if you group up people that don't hang out as much so everyone gets a little more insight to sisters that they didn't really know before, plus everyone in a group has to work as a team!!!
21 questions is another awsome night. Everyone gathers in a circle and there is one question that is asked and everyone has to answer, some can be silly, but some are serious and a great way to know your sisters better!!!

Hope this helps

My sorority is taking a trip to the mountains to stay in some cottages, we'll play games, eat junk, watch movies and talk all night long, it's a blast!

Our chapter has done Mar Kay parties, carving pumpkins, hay rides, back masages, making valentines, hiking, picnics, movie nights, we had a support bra- where we decorated it and every week i went to a different member that did something outstanding or needed help that week, we had a my hero book that ppl would write in about a girl tha really ment something to them and then it would be passed on. a love jar that after every meeting it would be passes aroung and ppl would just put notes in it like saying hey you look beautiful or we had fun partying this weekend- thanks for the ride. just stuff like that. really helped our chapter. hope it helps!

Here's a fun sisterhood to try:

DEATH BY CHOCOLATE NIGHT.

Each sister must bring something chocolate to share.

One sisterhood we had was a fondue party, some other I am planning as social chair this year are a virgin cocktail party and a letter making party - with tote bags or whatever girls want to make with letters on it.
