Good News about our Progress

[Asia2000]

We are finally a registered organization on campus (not a sorority, just a club) -- but that was a struggle to accomplish.

That is good because now we get MONEY!!

And that is good because during superbowl weekend the president of our target sorority is coming to spend the weekend with us to meet all our girls (we can't afford to go visit a chapter since we are the first in our region)!! I am soo nervous I can't contain myself!!

Any adivce? Any words of widom? Any ideas of what we should do with her while she is here??

Ask the president (chapter? national?) for suggestions on fundraisers - I bet the established chapters have tried and true fundraising methods.

Be yourself! Let your collective and individual good qualities simply shine. Take your cue from the President - would she like to focus solely on business and sisterhood? Is there room for pure socialization? As a sisterly role model, she will guide you in what's appropriate for the weekend.

As always, my best wishes to you and your organization. Good luck! Do let us know how the visit goes.

Hey Asia,

That's great to hear! Congrats!

As far as what to do when the sorority's Prez comes to visit you, I think Equeen made some good suggestions. Just be yourselves and everything will be just fine.
I would also find out whether or not it's going to be purely social or if it's going to be a mix of sisterhood/business. I would say that if it's going to be a mix, you can surely utilize this time to ask questions about the organization and the process itself.
Other ideas....I think it would be a good idea to take her around campus and give her a brief history of your school (ie traditions, student life, etc). Then maybe you all can treat her dinner if that's in the budget. Another idea would be to find a cute way to tell her about yourselves and what you've been doing thus far to become a part of the sorority...maybe in the form of a skit or something like that. I don't know, just something creative and fun to do.

Well I hope you have fun! And try not to worry (yeah right!) it's all going to work out just fine.
