Spring Fling Ideas

Here are three creative ideas for Delta Kappa Nu chapters to celebrate "Spring Fling":
  1. Garden Party and Fundraiser: Host a Garden Party "Spring Fling" event that combines outdoor festivities with philanthropy. Choose a scenic garden or park as your venue and decorate it with vibrant spring flowers, fairy lights, and colorful banners. Organize various activities like a picnic, live music, lawn games, and a flower crown-making station. Encourage attendees to dress in their springtime best, such as floral dresses and pastel suits. To incorporate the philanthropic element, set up donation booths or pledge drives to support a local environmental or conservation charity. Attendees can contribute while enjoying the beautiful surroundings and festivities, creating a meaningful and memorable event.
  2. Spring Carnival Extravaganza: Transform your "Spring Fling" into a lively Spring Carnival Extravaganza. Rent a local fairground or park and set up classic carnival attractions like a Ferris wheel, carousel, dunk tank, and cotton candy stands. Host fun contests and competitions, such as pie-eating contests or sack races, with small prizes for winners. Create a vibrant atmosphere with colorful decorations and carnival-themed photo booths. To give back to the community, allocate a portion of the proceeds to a local children's charity or a cause close to your chapter's heart. This event allows members and attendees to relive the joy of a springtime carnival while making a positive impact.
  3. Spring Fling Charity 5K Run/Walk: Organize a Spring Fling Charity 5K Run/Walk to promote health, fitness, and philanthropy. Choose a scenic route through a park or around your campus, and encourage participants to register for the event. Create a festive atmosphere by decorating the starting and finishing points with spring-themed banners and balloons. Provide participants with branded T-shirts and medals to commemorate their involvement. To support a charitable cause, partner with a local health-related nonprofit organization or a charity that resonates with your chapter. Participants can raise funds through sponsorships and pledges, with all proceeds directed toward the chosen charity. This event promotes physical well-being while making a significant contribution to a meaningful cause.
These "Spring Fling" event ideas combine celebration, outdoor fun, and philanthropy, allowing Delta Kappa Nu chapters to engage members and the community in a memorable and impactful way.

WHAT IS A SORORITY?

Picture
Sororities are self-sustaining friendship organisations composed of women. Most commonly formed with students in colleges and universities in the United States and Canada. However, the sorority ideal is available to everyone, including those who have not attended higher education or who are from diverse backgrounds.
 
A sorority is an organisation whose purpose is to foster friendship and community, among other things
 
Membership in a sorority is a privilege, and all members are expected to exemplify the finest personal qualities and embody the qualities supported by the organisation.
 
Members promote cultural interests, provide service to others, cultivate friendships and continually strive to improve themselves.
 
Many of the basic tenets of sororities and fraternities are essentially the same, yet each is distinct to each specific organisation.
 
Each group fulfils its own purpose and serves the needs of its individual members by developing effective programs in scholarship, culture & diversity and community service and self-improvement.
 
Delta Kappa Nu seeks to provide life-long friendship, support and kindness to all its sister and to the world at large.

'Tis the season

Picture
'Tis the season to be merry...and to think about other people. While we're all celebrating, Christmas, Hanukkah, Thanksgivukkah - there are many people out there who are unable to celebrate.

For many, the festive season can be a sad and lonely time.

So, think about others. Have a canned food drive. Raise some money for a local soup kitchen. Give service to a local charity. Be of good cheer and spread Christmas joy around.
Think about loved ones at home and far away. Think about the elderly. Celebrate the magic of the season with some young people who still see the magic all around them. 

Have a wonderful time - and be all that you can be for those around you.

Forward planning is the secret to success

Picture
How's your sorority year shaping up? Heaps of exciting social events planned? What about that philanthropy? How has your chapter contributed this year?

If you are having a hard time deciding on activities and events - try getting out a yearly calendar. 
Write down a list of all the things you want to achieve as a chapter, and then start slotting them into the calendar. 


As you progress, you will see where you have too many or not enough events, and when you might need to have planning and business meetings in order to achieve the social and philanthropic aims. Your executive board will also be able to schedule their meetings in and around other events. Once you have the plan decided - write the dates in your own planner/phone/calendar and circulate a list. That way you are less likely to double book yourself, and more likely to have high attendance at all sorority meetings.

As a chapter, it helps to know where you are going - and how you plan on getting there.
