This
year, Eta Gamma wanted to make a splash and go beyond just regular band
service. So, Eta Gamma of TBS and Theta Beta of KKPsi decided to have a
joint lock-in. This meant that both chapters committed a Friday
afternoon just for bonding and conjuring up new ideas and goals for this
year and the future. We even invited Marc Krcatovich II, a KKPsi life
member and Alumni Advisory Committee vice-chair, to come speak with us
about how to improve our chapter with real, measurable goals.
Sisters
and Brothers wrote down specific things that they wanted their chapter
to achieve on sticky notes and put them on large sheets of paper that
depicted broader ideas of promoting band, fundraising, increasing
involvement, and so on. Afterwards, a group of Sister and Brothers were
assigned to a large sheet and were asked to organize the sticky note
ideas by impact and ease of completion. This exercise really helped us
to see which goals were easy to do and which needed a more combined
effort. At the end, we came back as a group and discussed the
feasibility of the final goals. After this experience, I really believe
that our joint chapter relations improved and we can walk away with a
better sense of what we want to accomplish!
The
road is looking bright for Eta Gamma and Theta Beta. We hope to grow
and learn from each other more and wish other chapters the very best on
their own goals!
LITB as always,
