Eta Gamma Getting Down to Business: Lock-In Style

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,

Eta Gamma and Theta Beta take pictures and are productive!
