New Year, New Semester, New Chapter

The New Year. A fresh start, a clean state, a new opportunity, not only to improve personally, but as a group.

While the New Year brings new resolutions for every person, how about taking your list of goals a step further. Consider the January 1st to not only change you, but your chapter. After all, it will soon be the start of new semester too.

Below I listed 5 “resolutions” to consider for you chapters

1. Improve recruitment: Recruitment is an important part to every chapter’s existence. While I am a firm believer of quality over quantity, most national organizations and universities themselves have chapter minimums. With this in mind, revamp recruitment, so you can show Potential New Members the best version of your chapter and to ensure you are in goo standing.

2. Increase Marketing: Living in the digital era, marketing, specifically social media marketing is vital to promoting a chapter and making sure you are know on campus. Use the New Year as motivation to ensure that you are constantly marketing your chapter.

3. Plan a New Event: I am not going to sugar coat it, planning events can be  a long, tiring, and tedious process, but it also can be one of the most rewarding things you do. So talk it over, create something new, and work hard to further your name on campus.

4. Reach Out to Your Alumni: Your alumni is your greatest assets, we want to be there for you, so make us feel like we are still important to you. You never know, reaching out to one alumni can lead to more assistance than you ever imagined.

5. Create more sisterhood/brotherhood events: Greek Chapters were founded on the ideals of a united sisterhood/brotherhood. This new year, take the time to foster those relationships! Spend more time together, learn about each other, and most importantly, create those unspeakable bonds that we are privileged to have as members of Greek Life.


The above list are just some general ideas, evaluate your chapter and determine your own. And remember, only you can make your chapter great!
