We loved this activity in my chapter:

everyone gets 3 notecards. Everyone writes one fact about themselves on each, but doesn't put a name. The cards are shuffled.

Everyone sits in a circle. Someone reads what a card says, and the other sisters have to guess who that fact is about. Then they pass the stack to the next person, and this keeps going til the cards are gone.

The fun part is learning so much about your other sisters. Some things on cards in the past have included:

"I once took a nap in the trunk of my car in Rhode Island."
"I'm secretly addicted to the Golden Girls."
"I really want to travel to New Zealand."

It's more fun to be creative with the facts; not just stuff like "I have one sister."

Try it out. It's a simple activity. We've done it at rush, during sisterhood events, after meetings...try it out!

Also, the best way to increase those bonds of sisterhood aren't just by a one-time event like a retreat (which is a great idea!!). The best way is to increase sisterhood activities. You don't have to plan something big for it to be a sisterhood activity.

You can do the above mentioned note card "get to know you" thing at the end of a meeting. In fact I'm a big fan of sisterhood events at the end of meetings. Especially if you do a new one every week. It gives sisters something to look forward to, and it makes meetings more fun.

Some more good ideas, all of which are simple and you can do in a meeting:

--often times, sisters form "cliques" and don't know some sisters as well. In a meeting, write everyones names on little pieces of paper. Then pull them out of a hat or something and put them in groups of two. Those 2 people are instructed to do something together that week. It's a fun way to branch out and talk to sisters you don't know as well.

--go in a circle, and everyone has to say three things they love about the sister to their right.

--or, have everyone draw a name, and write a list of things they love about that sister. When everyone is done, everyone takes turns reading what they wrote.

--you can also have people draw a name and write a letter to that person.

Hope some of these help.

Thank you ladies! I have some great "getting to know you better" ideas. Does anyone know of any trust building activities? I know that seems broad but I know I have played some I just can't think of them!

Thanks everyone!

Another question. Did you guys do an overnight thing? Or just a few hours?
I think it would be really cool to do it overnight, but I am not sure where to have it and how that would work out.
Thanks so much!
