6. Schedule Meetings and Events
6. Schedule Meetings and Events
Every council should have at least one general council meeting and one officer meeting per month. Plan these meetings out for the entire fall semester. Once you have the meeting schedule settled, share it with council members via your council's Google calendar, Facebook page or website. While you may not know all your council's activities for the coming semester, add in as many as possible. Plan signature events that occur at the same time each year, including celebrating Columbus Day, organizing a service project around Thanksgiving and hosting game watches for away football games or Monday Night Football. Adding in events upfront will show weeks that lack activity and what types of programs are missing. Make sure you have a good balance of social, service and faith programs. Planning today helps your council do more tomorrow.
7. Plan Recruitment
7. Plan Recruitment
Start the fall semester off with a recruitment drive. The key to a successful drive is preparing before your council returns to campus. Consider holding a Rush Week or Go Roman style recruitment drive. Start the drive with a promotional campaign that includes Facebook posts, flyers, and announcements at student Masses that advertise a week of council activities leading up to a First Degree. Hold a variety of activities that ones geared to faith, fraternity and service. Host its own First Degree. If you do not have a degree team, work with a local council to host a degree as part of the recruitment drive. Following the First Degree exemplification, your council should have additional scheduled events to keep up the excitement built during your recruitment drive. If your council can participate in club or activity fairs on campus, organizing your recruitment drive around that time may also work.
