Hi.
Our chapter (Alpha Zeta at the University of Kentucky) has a bit of
an apathy problem when it comes to the meetings. And I can see why.
They feel like it's worthless, and no fun, to come to the meeting
only to hear 30 minutes of announcements, then leave. We've tried a
lot of things to help. For instance, free food works; icebreakers
don't.
What I was wondering, though, is if changing the *format* of the
meeting would help. As of now, we run through the list of
officers, and let them give their announcements. Then we have old
business, new business, announcements, and advisors' announcements,
closing with the Toast Song (there is rarely any new or old business).
Pretty standard, but are there any chapters out there that get a more
receptive response from doing it a different way?
Come to think of it... is meeting format dictated by the national
bylaws? (guess I ought to check :)
Bev
