You can already have these events, or you may not. Either way, these are three crucible aspects of fraternity that you can not afford to take lightly . They may seem silly, and it might seem like you are do not need to plan something elaborate. One thing is true: when you plan the event, you must be dedicated to your idea. Be dedicated about your event. I & # 39; ll say it another way. Each of these events must have a set of specific goals in mind, and you must utilize steps or strategies to make sure you meet those goals.
Your fraternity should recognize those brothers who succeed academically. Not only should they be recognized for their good scholarships, but they If a guy gets a more than a brothers who got above your chapter & # 39; s stated GPA goal, or brothers who got above a 3.5. But reward the things that matter. It is not matter. But academic success needs to be recognized in some way, the brothers need to know which of brothers are doing well in class, and they need to be rewarded.
2) A brotherhood retreat. You probably have a retreat. You need have a "retreat" to welcome your new members, and all the brothers go. The beautiful thing about fraternity is the life - long relationships you develop with your brothers. You need It is must must intentional, so there must a be "a must have a" goal "for the weekend. Whether it & # 39; s unity, learning the ritual better, trusting each other, or developing a strategy plan for your chapter, you need to have a reason to spend a weekend (or longer) together. This is about celebrating what your fraternity is and the brothers who are in the fraternity. It & # 39; s not about celebrating to get drunk. 39; s about developing the relationships on a personal level.
3) A Parent & # 39; s Weekend. You should not have to hide what you do in your fraternity from parents. Even if you & # 39; re a great fraternity, parents will feel much more at ease if they can see the house and Invite all the parents out to a home game is a brothers. And if some parents are paying their son & # 39; s dues, they probably want to see what they & # 39; And tailgate together. Have a pancake breakfast ready at the house. You have a goal to accomplish. Something with parents at least once per year. And be dedicated.
