I'm from Eta Delta Chapter at Valparaiso Univeristy. We, too, have a small chapter (although the largest of 7 on campus!!). We are at quota at 63 members. We also have a very young council. Another issue that we struggle with is not having a house. All sororities on campus live in a common dorm, with wings assigned to each sorority. While we love our Korridor, not everyone lives there, especially the seniors and 2 newest classes. Any ideas from other chapters without houses as to how you promote sisterhood? Also, I'm new member ed chair and looking for ideas to teach the new girls about kappa, being a relatively new chapter we don't have an existing model to go by...any help would be greatly appreciated!! Thanks ladies....

Well, we're definitely not small- 120 girls strong and going through informal recruitment at the moment. We know the unhoused problem very well, though. (Especially since as Kappa's newest chapter, we're still working on meeting our sisters!) We've taken to having dinner before chapter a few nights a month, as well as doing small projects in our Kores at chapter. If space for the dinner is a problem, you might see if a housed fraternity would let you borrow their facilities for an evening, or use a conference room in the student union. We've done both.
Also, a lot of comittees and Kores get together to do stuff together that isn't work. Just recently, our Marshal was able to get her hands on free movie passes, so the ritual comittee got together and went out to dinner and a movie.
I hope either of those ideas help.
