We have quite a few a year. Right before each semester begings we have an EC retreat. The EC usually rents a cabin in the state park near by and they go over the calander for the upcoming semester decide if there are any chair positions in the house that need to be changed, etc. Then we have a retreat once a semester that is for everyone. It takes up the whole weekend and is not really buisness related. It's more about building brotherhood. Starting Friday night until sunday morning we do everthing together. We do a lot of leadership and team building excercises and we then at night we all go out and do something together. When we go out at night though we keep it alcohol free. We usually just go bowling or all go to a movie together. We do this about a month into each sememster so the new pledges get a chance to know each other and the actives. About half of the time the actives and pledges are split up and the pledges do their own thing. By the end of the weekend you would be amazed how close you feel to your brothers.
