Hey There!
I just took on the VP-Opeartions position at our chapter so I'm kind of a newbie, but here are some ideas of what we are doing for chapter choice:
(Educational/ Risk Management) Our VP-Standards reviewed the alcohol policy and then we had one of the local female officers on campus come in and discuss current issues for women and how to deal with them. She provided our chapter with some extremely important tips and information.
(Event - Personal Presence) We are going to have council and the PACE chair dress up in examples of what to and what not to wear to socials, class, chapter, etc. We are also having 2 Mary Kay ladies come in and perform makeovers and explain how to choose make up and skin care products. The PACE chair also did some online research and created a current list of what is "fashionable" today.
(Educational - Philanthropy) We are using this educational chapter to do an event with our local Girl Scout troops. We're having a picnic and doing crafts as well as reading books with the girls.
(Event - Enlarging our World) This isn't planned for sure yet, but we have discussed having an ettiqute dinner. It would be a chance for sisters to learn the correct forks, placings, and manners, etc for a proper event as well as include tons of sisterhood since we love to eat! For the food we have discussed having different sisters bring in foods from their cultures so we can enlarge our taste buds as well!
(Educational - AX) We hope to have a representative from our Counseling Center and Career Center on campus come in. We planned ours close to finals so that the Counseling Center speaker could discuss test taking skills, test anxiety, etc. The Career Center speaker can hopefully fill our sisters in with tips on how to use their AX to their benefit after graduation.
I have tons of ideas for all the different types of groups, these are just a few examples. I would be happy to share more with anyone who needs some. Our chapter is working on a tight budget so most of the things we do will be relativly inexpensive
