Hey everybody!

I am the VP of Communications for my fraternity and have recently implemented a currency system that gives members who excel in different areas such as grades or athletics currency they can use for various things.

I have a few good ideas for what the 'dollars' can be used for ranging from free house duty (weekly commitment to clean the house) to free wings at a local restaurant.

What I'm looking for are some more ideas on what members can use the 'dollars' for. I'm terrible at this sort of thing but would really like to see this thing work out and not flop.

I know this might be a lot to ask seeing as how you may not be familiar with the goings on of fraternities, but I'd appreciate any ideas you got!

For 5 dollars, they can dance with your dates.

I get more than 5... oh just dance?

Hm, I was thinking of trying to get the ladies who come by into the deal somehow . .

Don't you guys have chapter roll points?

Novice · « **Reply #7 on:** April 29, 2010, 12:26:26 PM »

I'm not familiar with those. Care to elaborate?

A list of bros ranked by "chapter roll points". Whoever has the most is #1, and so forth. Points are given out for achieving a good GPA, service hours, participating in philanthropies, etc. Those higher on the list can use that position as a reason for them to be the winner of a dispute when going head to head against someone lower on the list.

Ex. I call shotgun, but our Archon calls chapter roll because he's 10 places ahead of me in terms of points.

Do you guys still do that thing where you all stand around a pizza and whoever finishes last has to eat it?

Well, we have roll numbers which are determined when you joined which work in some of the same ways.

Of course, the members can exchange their 'dollars' amongst each other for things (like shotgun), but I was (and still am) more looking for specific incentives the fraternity or myself could offer them.

One of my greatest regrets is that I never joined a frat or even went to a non CC college. Eh, it's OK, I guess, but I sincerely regret not experiencing the college lifestyle.

If any of you take anything from me, take this: Don't put off going to college after high school. Just keep going and finish it up.

Good advice.

I feel the fraternity is necessary to give me somewhat of the college feel. Wichita State is certainly not a typical college as it is smack in the middle of the city. The fraternity offers a way to live on-campus relatively cheaply, to make great friends, and get involved as one should to enjoy the college experience.

Otherwise I would just drive to class, drive home, maybe drive to work. It would be high school 2.0.

I'm still waiting for the pizza question to be addressed.

I always thought it was a bagel . . soggy bagel?

but no, not in my experience.

I would have never had to worry about eating that pizza when I was "college age". Today, however, I could go 'til everyone else fell asleep and just throw the pizza away.
