I'm a KD in NYC and I'm a huge fan of your blog! You always have such great ideas and I was wondering if you had any ideas for sorority events that could be campus wide? Our university supplies us with money from the student activities budget, but only if they're events that can be attended by everyone. We know we are definitely having a trivia night for our philanthropy but we would love to have two or three more!

What do you do about a social chair who isnt exactly doing their job? (We haven't had a single exchange all semester since I joined)

Asked by

you and a group of well meaning sisters should request a private meeting with your chapter president and advisor to address this problem! sororities are at their core are “social clubs” and to not have any socials is not right. you don’t want to make it a witch hunt, but someone needs to ask your chapter leadership what the heck is going on. 

if you approach this professionally and not personally, hopefully you can get some answers. just be sensitive and avoid hurting your social chair’s feelings. that’s why a private talk with members of your e-board is better than complaining in front of everyone at the next chapter meeting.

when you bring this up, have some solutions to offer as well. maybe your social hair is overwhelmed or inexperienced. offer to help make social arrangements. suggest assigning an assistant chair. bring some simple, but creative party ideas to the table. it’s one thing to complain, it’s even better to offer a plan for success! xoxo ;)

chapter idea file ~ MY TIE FORMAL!   We were assigned partners who found the dates for us instead of asking ourselves. Then our buddy gave us the tie and the boys came and found their ties later. This took a lot of pressure off of the girls to ask guys to formal.  Girls who had boyfriends were paired together because that was easy, but some of the single ladies got some hot blind dates that were friends of friends (and wanted to come to a formal) ~ Elyse Alpha Chi Omega!

Hi! My chapter is doing an Arabian Nights themed social! I'm in charge of t-shirts. I was wondering if you had any ideas for sayings or colors or if you've seen other themed shirts that could be helpful for ideas! Thank you <3

i would take inspiration from disney’s aladdin movie for colors and ideas… rich jewel tones, dark purple, dark blue, sunset oranges and reds. you can also use the “alladin” style font for your graphics. the aladdin movie soundtrack can also serve as inspiration. 

slogan & name ideas ~ magic carpet ride, it’s a whole new world, arabian paradise, treasure the night, world of enchantment, moroccan magic, midnight at the oasis, harem nights, 1001 arabian nights, rock the kasbah, bustin bollywood. 

here is one tee shirt example from greek t-shirts that rock:

What to do when your social committee wants a social with the theme glow in the dark Noah's ark? Basically you dress in glow clothes or pair off and dress in animals. I just think including a biblical term into a social theme is a recipe for disaster.

i like the party concept ~ glow in the dark & animals and the rhyming name too! very clever. you may be worrying a little too much about the noah’s ark name. but being on a college campus ~ you probably should worry!

here’s my take on “noah’s ark”: it has become pretty generic and not as religious as it might have been in the past. i am thinking about how pottery barn kids and many other mainstream toy stores sell noah’s ark toys not as religious icons, but for the cute animals. the same goes for decor shops where you can decorate a child’s room in noah’s ark and it’s not really about the bible story. it would be different if you were having a nativity party or last supper. 

so… it is borderline politically incorrect, borderline offensive when mixed with drinking and partying, and the odds are someone on either side of the religious issue will take offense. the name may cause trouble or it may not. i take it as fun and not so serious, but many people are overly sensitive these days. the safest thing to do is change the name to something that rhymes with zoo! xoxo ;)

Hey! I'm from the DG phi chapter at CU. we have to make a country club themed banner to make for Greek week. Any ideas for us?!

Asked by

love the theme! use country club symbols such as crests, flags, laurel leaves, monograms, golf clubs and other classic & preppy insignia! it would be easy to incorporate an anchor into this motif as well. combine a yacht club & country club look. also, you want to use a distinguished “upper-crust” font for your lettering. think sophisticated and posh private club. here are some inspirational graphics ~
