5. Advertising Should be done at least 2 weeks prior to event Do not just rely on facebook Paper flyers are great just need to have a good design Could use UV coated flyers during the beginning of the year

9. Financial Should not be funded by the chapter Most college campuses have a funding board Seek corporate sponsorship

10. Co-Sponsorship Makes programming a lot easier Should not be with just Greeks, network outside i.e LASO Seek out campus units and faculty

11. Socials Do not just rely on club events Can be a great tool to break the ice with other orgs. Examples: Greek Sips, potlucks, outings i.e bowling

12. Community Service Should not be confused by philanthropy events Majority of the events should be within the Latino Community and not be “mainstream greek” type event i.e clean up the highway Examples: High School Mentorship, translation for immigrant community, Tutoring

13. Philanthropy American Heart Association Support National Drives Chapter should establish their own philanthropy i.e. scholarship

14. Fundraisers Should be the most emphasized programming Be Creative!!!!! Examples: Lambda Tuck-Ins, Crush Can

15. Educational Reach out to professors!!! Should be of topic of interest to the campus community Examples: Young Lords of NY and Chicago, Ciudad Juarez Murders

16. Cultural Get out of your comfort zone!!! Explore other cultures besides your own You can tie in other programming to this Examples: Dance exchange with another cultural group, giving away morir sonando

17. Academics Study Hours should be mandatory Workshops i.e resume, grad school prep Meeting with college dean to set a graduation plan

18. Political Consciousness Fraternity was based on this, yet many chapters put less emphasis on this Many ways to be involved on campus, community, nationally Examples: Campus racism, Latino Registration Drive, Dream ACT, immigration

19. Importance of documenting Pictures should be taken at every event along with a 1pg summary of event Helps future lines Don’t have to reinvent the wheel Serve as a recruitment tool
