Formal chapter meeting times?

[kchaptergphib]

Here at Minnesota, most all chapters have dinner and meeting on Monday nights. Our chapter has exec on Sunday nights. Monday dinner is at 5:30, followed by meeting. I always liked having meeting at the beginning of the week, and it worked nicely to have exec the night before.

exec meetings were sunday nights at 7

chapter meetings were monday nights at 6

could have changed since I have graduated though...

Exec was usually 8pm or 10pm on Sunday with Cabinet at 9pm every other week.


All the chapters at Nebraska have formal dinners on Monday Nights (most chapters, most weeks out of the year this meant guys wore jacket and tie, girls wore fashionable female equivalent). Formal dinners start between 5:15 and 5:30. It is convenient for many non-GLO campus groups, b/c if they have something going on or are looking for new members, they can do house announcements at that time and reach about 90% of the people likely to join or take part (This is probably one of the reasons why Greeks dominate all the important campus groups at Nebraska).

Formal dinner for my chapter was done at about 6:15 or 6:30, depending on guests (alumni or speakers), what we had for dinner, and how many house announcements there were.

Some times people had class, but I just put it into my schedule that I absolutely would avoid any class at that time unless it was just completely unavoidable. My other orgs met every other week on either Tuesday or Wednesday evening (I was in a bunch so it was interesting juggling them all), with exec meetings during the off week. ODK was the only group I had that met on Thursdays. I usually didn't go to those meetings.

Sundays at 5:30. E-board and sometimes standards is at 5 p.m. We used to have it at 7 or 7:30 but chapter would sometimes run until midnight so it became necessary to move it. It was hard because people used to have jobs until late on Sundays.

We hold our chapter meetings on Sundays at 5:00- we just switched from 2:00. The executive board meetings about an hour before our chapter meetings.
All the sororities at Eastern Michigan have their chapter meetings on Sundays, as far as I know.

NPC/IFC chapters hold their meetings on Wednesday nights here. I've seen them start anywhere from 6 PM (or right after dinner) to 8 or 9 PM. I guess it just depends on the chapter.

We schedule our meetings for Tuesdays at 7, so that girls who are in social sororities can also join our organization. That's how pretty much everything runs at Tech -- you won't find many student organizations that meet on Wednesday nights (unless it's executive boards or something like that) to accomodate the Greek community.
