Sisterhood

Organizational Knowledge and Skills

In order for the sorority to function as a family and have an environment that fosters positive personal and group development, the chapter itself must be strong. Individual sisters must have the skills to manage the affairs of the chapter and lead their fellow sisters. All members must have knowledge of how the sorority operates and what are the expectations are of the members. Sisters must also have an understanding of the Greek system, the benefits of being in a sorority, and the policies relating to Greek life. A strong sorority experience involves mutual friendship, support between members, and activities that increase the bonds of sisterhood. Workshops in this area include: Panhellenic; campus Greek policies; chapter management skills; chapter goal setting; group dynamics; marketing/chapter PR; and officer development. Retreats and sisterhood activities with planned educational programs to increase communication skills and the understanding of sorority values could also be included in this area. (A simple sisterhood dinner would not suffice for a Pearl experience, but may continue to be part of sisterhood activities as often as the chapter likes.)
