Tips and suggestions on our sisterhood retreat

[GammaDelt]

We're having a sisterhood retreat for the pledges next week.
The theme is "Walk a Mile in her Shoes".

A) We've assigned each pledge a partner to work with throughout pledging. We're going to ask them to pick one person to be blindfolded, and the one who is not will guide their blindfolded partner on a walk without touching them or using words. However, they can clap or make some kind of noise to indicate wrong directions, etc. There will be an active assigned to each pair to ensure there is no peeking, and more important, to make sure the blindfolded person is safe. Afterward, we'll say something like about trusting each other and leading each other. Then we'll pick them up from their destination and take them to the retreat house.

B) We'll then be giving each pledge a piece of paper that they pass around, and everyone writes something nice on it about the person whose paper it is.

C) We'll be playing "In Her Shoes". Everyone takes off one shoe and puts it in front of her. The facilitator reads a question, and everyone has to answer it. The questions get deeper and more emotional as they progress, but no one is supposed to react to anyone's answer. Instead, they can write a note, and put it in the girl's shoe.

D) The girls will make T-Shirts for Relay for Life, a cancer awareness and prevention event. This fits with our theme "Walk a Mile in Her Shoes" since the event is centered around a team relay.

E) Last, we'll be watching "In Her Shoes".

Does anyone have any tips, suggestions, criticisms?
