Sisterhood Ideas?

[KSUViolet06]

I was sisterhood chair one semester, and here are some of the activities/events I organized for our chapter:

*Holiday gift exchange- Girls drew names (and didn't share with each other who it was) and each sister bought a gift ($10 max) for the person they got. They exchanged gifts at the last meeting of the semester.

*Halloween pals- Girls drew names for Halloween and made candy bags for the sister they got. We exchanged these at our Halloween costume chapter meeting so it was kind of like "trick or treating" for us since we wore costumes and got candy.

*Ice cream social- this one was easy, I just brought 3 flavors of ice cream, and I had every sister bring a topping to share. Girls came over and ate ice cream with different toppings and hung out.

*Scrapbooking night- Every sister made a page about themselves. I supplied the scrapbook and some scissors and told girls to bring lots of pictures and any scrapbooking materials they had to share. This went extremely well. This became a tradition at my chapter, and every new member adds a page to the book now!

*Thanksgiving potluck- I took care of the turkey and had girls each bring a side dish, dessert, or beverages to share. This is also now a tradition at my chapter.

Hope these helped you! If I think of more I'll post them!

I thought of something else:

*Movie Nights: We had movie night at the house every few weeks. I would take suggestions for movies at chapter, and have the girls vote for one. Then we'd watch that movie with popcorn during the week.

*Sister of the Week: Every week at chapter, I took nominations from the girls for sister of the week. It's for a sister who went "above and beyond" during the week. For example: "I nominate Becky for bringing me chicken soup last week when I had the flu." The girls vote by a show of hands, and the sister who wins gets a small prize (I always gave them $10 Target gift cards or something like that).

Some advice for you:

*Sisterhood doesn't have to be elaborate or expensive. It could be something as simple as groups of girls having lunch in the student center every week. I had girls pick a time and day of the week that they could come to the Student Center, sit together and have lunch.

*Use incentives to get girls to show up your sisterhoods. We used to have a problem with girls not coming to sisterhoods. When I became sisterhood chair, I had an attendance sheet at all of the events. Certain weeks, I would pick a random sister from an attendance sheet and she would get a small prize like a StarBucks gift card or something like that.. Girls started showing up to sisterhoods because they had the chance to win stuff
