-
Determine who will plan the
reunion- this can be as simple as one DG or can be a committee who will
handle different jobs.
-
Determine who will attend your
reunion- if this will just be your new member (pledge) class or if you
will include other Delta Gammas from other classes.
-
Determine the “when and where”-
your reunion can take place during a school event such as Homecoming or
you might choose to have it in the summer when school is not in session.
You might choose to meet at the chapter house or you might consider a
hotel, resort or condo in a city of your choosing. This reunion might be
just for the day or might be a weekend event.
-
Develop your invitation list- you
must collect current addresses. Addresses can be located using the current
Delta Gamma Directory. Another good source is to use the current
University Directory that most universities publish. If you have defined
your DG list to a particular “new member class” (pledge class) year or
years then you can request addresses from Delta Gamma. (There might be a
small fee)
-
Develop a budget- you should
collect enough money to pay for the entire reunion. You must determine the
cost of lodging, meals, printing flyers or invitations. Other expenses
might include: prizes, phone calls, DG songs, nametags, film for pictures,
postage, and the printing of addresses and follow-up news. All attendees
will need an explanation of expenses to be incurred.
-
Develop a good email list- this
can save you lots of money as you can send all the invitations, addresses
and newsletters by email to those with email. Then you will only have to
mail to those with no email. A good email list can help with your
communications and promotion of your reunion to ensure you have a
successful event.
-
Plan your
Reunion- a good reunion will be planned from morning until evening. You
will need some sort of schedule whether it is intensive or more loosely
put together. Start early with you’re planning and make sure to publicize
in advance.
-
Have fun and enjoy your sisters!
You will renew old friendships and will make new friendships.
-
It would be wonderful if every DG new
member class would strive to hold a reunion every five years. Think how
nice it would be to maintain a close relationship with your sisters
throughout your life…
