On Deck with Delta Gamma-Survey Results, Plan, and Calendar!

On Deck with Delta Gamma

Columbus Alumnae Chapter Newsletter
November 2010

Thanks to all of you who read and considered the questions in my last letter and responded back!

Based on your responses, Allison Sayre Paugh (our Regional Alumnae Specialist) and I have worked together on a plan for the 2010-2011 year which we hope will draw you out.

The summary of the responses received are as follows:
-Time is an issue: Needing less of a time commitment to get involved or women don't think they have enough time to be involved.
-Location is an issue: Many are in favor of small local groups so travel time is decreased.
-Events are not desirable: Looking for events that appeal to all women. Low to no cost.
-Founders Day: Most women stated they would attend at least Founders day.

So...What we came up with was a 1 year plan to get this group restarted!

2010-2011 Super Simple Sisterhood

We decided that is was time to Get back to the Basics! DG is Sisterhood at its core and that is what we chose to focus on this year.
We have planned 6 simple coffee dates at 4 different locations around town, different dates and times, at no cost to our membership.
Coffee, Tea, and snacks will be provided by the Columbus Alumnae Chapter funds.

Please come to at least one coffee date and Founders Day this year!
We want to know if you want this chapter to continue. Show your support!
Come have a cup of coffee or tea with your Sisters!

This will be our wrap up meeting for the year and we will be discussing if the chapter will continue.

Meetings of an alumnae chapter are not intended to be for the board to make decisions that are handed down to the group - to paraphrase Fraternity Parlimentarian Wilma Wilbanks, "Officers serve at the pleasure of the members." Thus, our members should be involved in the decision making and discussion! Secondly, we hope these gatherings will serve as a means for members to get involved and actually participate in the planning and executing of events. Thirdly, we want to provide you the chance for sisterhood - just getting to know each other!

Your Chapter needs:

  • people to sit on nominating committee for the upcoming 2011 elections (ALL board positions open!)
  • people to help us host future meetings
  • people to help with 2011 Founders Day tasks (rituals, coordinating a speaker, designing and printing programs, managing the basket raffle, set-up, tear-down, greeters)
  • people to help maintain our "cyberpresence" (blog, Facebook, email)
  • someone from the alumnae chapter to visit the 4 local collegiate chapters during a meeting and explain what the alumnae chapter does, how to get involved, and any answer any questions
Contact Nicole nicoletankovich@gmail.com if you are interested in fulfilling any of these roles.
