Sisterhood, Spirit and Morale Ideas The Standards Committee should discuss sisterhood and morale at all Standards Committee meetings. Consider if there are systemic problems within the chapter that the Standards Committee could address or if there is something fun the committee could plan in order to boost sisterhood and morale. Spirit and Morale Ideas: • Is Chapter Council overwhelmed? Host a Chapter Council appreciation night. • Feel like your chapter doesn’t understand the long-term benefits of Kappa? Host a 50-year Kappa pin recipient and ask her to talk to the chapter about her Kappa experiences. • Sisterhood Board: A centrally-located and decorated bulletin board/chalkboard to display sisterhood events occurring that week or month, quotes that inspire sisterhood or pictures of sisterhood happening within the chapter. • Sisterhood of the Traveling [Item]: Recognize a member at each chapter meeting for her display of sisterhood during the past week. The VPS asks chapter members to send and read thank-you notes to a sister who has been especially loyal or generous with her time during the past week. This member is awarded with an item (e.g., bra, doll, necklace, book, quilt, cap, award pin, etc.) The member has the item with her for the week and then passes it to the member who is recognized at the following meeting. The item is accompanied by a journal in which the recognized member can write a short reflection about the sisterhood of the chapter. If appropriate, these…

Although I have lived in America for almost all of my life, I grew up in a Ghanaian household, with parents who strived to make sure I never forgot where I came from. As I grew up I learned that my upbringing was not the same as some of my American friends’ upbringing, through different situations, such as the way I interacted with adults, my involvement in social activities, and getting an allowance. In my Ghanaian culture you are not to speak back to an adult; usually what they said goes and…
