A banquet to induct new members and to recognize current members
Regular meetings
Selection of new members
Social get-togethers (movies, picnics, hay rides, study breaks, etc.)
Activities that some chapters are involved with include:
On-campus leadership conferences
Skill building workshops (time management, budgeting, programming, etc.)
