Planning Chapter Meetings & Events
Hosting a social function is a great way to have fun as a chapter, and to recruit and retain members! Here are ideas for easy-to-plan events:
- Team up with other clubs for activities like picnics, sports competitions, or community service projects
- Host a potluck dinner at the home of a faculty member or advisor
- Go bowling or skating
- Get together for pizza night
- Go on a faculty-student picnic
- Offer retreats geared toward freshmen and transfer students
Your chapter can spread awareness about your organization, planned events and chemistry in many ways. Here are some tips:
- Create a web site
- Place ads and submit articles to your campus newspaper
- Design a newsletter for all members and chemical sciences students
- Create colorful, eye-catching posters and flyers to publicize meetings and special events
- Design an eye-catching logo for posters and flyers
- Wear chapter t-shirts, buttons, and other promotional items
- Get air time on campus radio and TV stations
- Spread news of your events through word of mouth
- Ask professors to announce chapter activities in classes (provide faculty the information at least two weeks in advance)
