This is so cool! Count me in!! What a GREAT idea!!!
I'm in a local and love my local sisterhood, but always thought it would be great to be connected with Greeks across the country. Fabulous idea!!! I'm so excited!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

If you need ANY help, I'd be more than willing to help out with anything

... I zap people in the rear-end.



Okkkkk...so it looks like loads of people are interested in Gamma Chi. Several people have been asking "what now?"

If everyone's serious, may I respectfully suggest that we start organising the efforts? Here is my humble suggestion for a committee "sign-up" list of sorts. Place your name under the item you wish to help out with:

Constitution and Bylaws - Yes, Virginia, we need bylaws.

Officers - how do we select (see Constitution committee), positions available. I suggest having at least one representative from every area (NPC, NPHC, IFC, local, MCG, GDI etc...)

Membership - who is a member, how do we get members, designing a membership application...etc.

Ritual/Initiation - creating one!

Website - design and hosting

Outreach - creating a proposal for the suggested greek life presentations.

Philanthropy - to coordinate reports on Gamma Chi members' philanthopy efforts. Works with outreach.

Paraphanalia - Suggests manufacturers of letters, letters, shirts, etc. Perhaps the badge too?

Chapter Operations - loads of subcategories here. ktsnake...you wanna investigate dues?


Ok...I think I'll stop here. Feel free to add or adjust categories - my list was just meant to help some solid ideas to start flowing.

Good for you Navane!! I've been out of town for the past several days, and it's real nice to see that someone was able to step in and get started on the organizing. I believe AGDAlum was volunteered by Carnation to write the ritual. And I was contacted by someone yesterday from the board who is interested in crest design and paraphernalia. So ......................who else is in?

Oh, I almost forgot, the badge. I know a vendor from whom we can tons of the gold starfish, but they are not on the blue enamel background. I will contact that vendor and see what can be done about getting the badge designed. If anyone has any ideas or suggestions beyond the description I posted, please IM me and let me know. For instance, if that seems to plain, or not special enough, whatever. Please give me your suggestions. And if anyone can tell me how to post a picture on this board, I can put up a picture of the proposed badge for viewing and discussion. A picture of the starfish is at . Just clock on products, then choose lapel pins. For those of you who have been looking for jewelry for your org, they have kites, sailboats, sunfloers, turtles, etc...tons of different kinds.

I AM SO EXCITED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

What a cute idea!

Could I be a representative for the PNMs?
