How to Throw a Founders Day Party for a Fraternity or Sorority

If you are in a fraternity or sorority, the best part about being Greek has to be Founders Day! This is the one day out of the whole year that the chapter celebrates what it means to be greek and the main goals and mission of the organization. Here are some great ideas to throw a super founders day party!

Instructions

Difficulty: Easy

Things You’ll Need:

• Invitations
• Stamps to mail invitations
• Snacks
• A slide show of the past year in the organization
• Computer
• Projector
• Music (anything to keep the party alive)
• Conversation tables
• Tablecloths
• Candles
• Photo frames (cheap ones can be found at any hobby craft store)

1. Mail out invitations to the chapter's alumni a month in advance. A great idea for an invitation might be a group shot of the new members in the fraternity or sorority, the house, or the founders photos. Then, put a stamp on all of the mail and mail it out 1 month in advance. Put a RSVP on the card with someone's telephone number so that there is a head count before the party. Also, ask each member to bring a photo or two (that you can keep) of their favorite sorority/fraternity memories from when they were a member.
2. Get the room ready for entertaining! Set out tables and put a tablecloth on each table. Add a few candles (any color, or use the fraternity/sorority colors) and 2 to 3 plastic picture frames. Also, set out any scrapbooks that you may have from years past on the tables.
3. Set out all of the snacks/drinks on a table.
4. When the guests arrive, take their photos and add them to the picture frames. This adds a great conversation piece.
5. Do you have anyone in your organization who is tech savvy? Have them set up a slide show from the last year to show the alumni what you have been up to. HAPPY FOUNDERS DAY!
