Need help with positions

Hey Phi Sigs,
I just transfered chapters and my new chapter is a little less organized than my last. I've been asked to take over the scholarship position, which is a position that these ladies have never really seen. I have some ideas, but I would love to hear what your chapters do to encourage academic success.

Also, we need to get our name out there on campus. This is not a "normal" greek campus and so it's even harder to do PR than normal. So please give me some original and bold ideas.

Thanks for the help!!

Suzanne

scholarship can be a difficult position! just a few ideas from our chapter: we have a scholarship book, everyone has their own page and keeps track of their grades, then at the end of the meeting when everyone has recorded their grades the scholarship chair announces the scholar of the week and that person gets a poster in the union building; we have a skip jar, for every class you skip you are suppposed to put a quarter in the jar, it's a great fundraising tool and it gets everyone involved in keeping each other on track and in class.

about getting your name out: we all eat lunch together in the union building and during rush we all eat dinner in the dining halls. having letter days helps so that everyone can see who is in the sorority and how close you all are. Posters in the union building are great if you are permitted. sponsor events or have fundraisers so that people can find out more about you.

just a few ideas off the top of my head. hope they help. good luck!

Hi! I'm a Phi Sig from the ZN chapter at Slippery Rock.

We did some really great PR events this year. We sponsered a spagetti dinner for our philanthropy. This not only raised money, but got our name out as well. We also post flyers around campus such for holidays. Such as: Phi Sigma Sigma wishes you a happy holiday season, Happy Valentine's Day from Phi Sigma Sigma, etc.

Hope you get some other ideas.
