WHAT'S IN MY CHAPTER BAG?

 

My sorority chapter meetings are every Sunday and they keep me in the loop with what is going on and coming up on the sorority agenda. That being said, there are some key items I need when going to chapter:

PLANNER - Most times there are important dates and times of events coming up in the week and I would never remember them if I didn't write them down. I use one universal planner for schoolwork, sorority events and personal stuff. So that kind of brings me to my next item.

PEN - I know you're thinking, DUH! Right? Haha well because I use one planner for everything this is actually really important. I use a GREEN pen for all sorority-related events and activities. It helps me stay organization and when I look at it I automatically know what it is for. (P.S. I use green because it is one of my sorority's colors ;) )

SNACK - This is if I don't eat beforehand. Sometimes chapter runs long (like if it's the first meeting of the semester or the first one after recruitment) and the worst thing is sitting there hungry because then it's hard to focus on anything other than my growling stomach! If I have a snack in my bag, I can take away the hunger pang until chapter ends and I can get a real meal.

STICKY NOTEPAD - This is for jotting down any other important notes and making my to-do list for the week. If one of the officers says I need to send in an email or there's a survey I have to take online or something, I'll write that on my to-do list. I use a sticky notepad because I can tear off the paper I wrote on and just stick it in my planner. It's perfect!!

Lastly, if you have a position within your chapter you should always have your documents or NOTES to present to the chapter with you. I am the Jr. Panhellenic Rep for my sorority. It is my job to bring back information on what the other sororities on campus are doing that week to my chapter; so I would have my notes from our weekly PC meeting in my bag.

What do you take to your chapter meetings?
