Great sisterhood ideas for meetings
I was reading the thread on sisterhood ideas in Greek Life and wanted to start one on great sisterhood activities for meetings. I'd love to hear about great sisterhood activities people do or did in A Phi.
One of my favorites actually comes from Beta Pi. When I first became an advisor there they had friendship books. Each new member class had their own friendship book that they started when they were new members so there were about 4 circulating at any given time. Each week at meeting the person who had the friendship book would stand up and read the letter they had written to another member to the chapter. Then they would give the book to that member who would write a letter to someone else the next week. Sometimes they would do a page of pix and a page that was a letter. The books were so neat because they really showed the strong bonds between the women in the chapter and commemerated the times they shared in the chapter. With the popularity of scrapbooking today I am sure we would get some amazing pages. I *believe* that Beta Pi is bringing them back.
When I was a collegiate one of my favorite events was fun meeting. Once a quarter when we had fun meeting we would put a couple of people on the hot seat and ask them questions. As a new member it was a great way to feel like you got to know the actives better (made them seem more like real people) and as an active it was fun to embarass my friends.
Another favorite was Phi Friends. Each week our sisterhood person (the title of this officer changed 3x while I was a collegiate so we'll just refer to her in a vague way) would choose two friends or a group of friends to share something about themselves with the chapter. It was kind of like show and tell from elementary school. Sometimes they would pick a group of 4 or 5 roommates who would share some funny ritual that group had or othertimes they would choose two people who were best friends and they would share stories about themselves. I loved getting to know my sisters better.
Can't wait to hear your stories!
