The Calendar Planning Guide includes an overview of collegiate calendar planning (page 3), the Anchor List as a quick reference guide for the chapter management team (CMT)
officers (pages 4-9) and the Cable List, which is a list of optional programming for the chapter (pages 10-12). Underlined document titles are available in the DG website library.
vp: programming: Distributes Calendar Checklist and
Calendar Planning Guide to CMT
officers.
Distributes a copy of chapter goals to CMT officers.
Approves all officers’ events from the
calendar planning meeting.
Ensures the calendar is completed,
supports chapter goals and submits
calendar to the chapter’s Regional
Collegiate Specialist (RCS) or Council
Appointed Coordinator (CAC).
chapter officers: Each officer is responsible for providing
suggested event dates to vp:
programming from officers’ required
events on Anchor List.

the Calendar Checklist for events by
officer.
advisory team chair (ATC) and/or
programming adviser: Attends the calendar planning meeting(s)
Reviews the Calendar Checklist before
the vp: programming submits calendar
for RCS/CAC approval.
The calendar is due to your RCS/CAC by:
March 1 for spring quarter
April 15 for fall semester/quarter
November 15 for spring semester or
winter quarter Note: Your RCS/CAC may ask for an earlier due
date to ensure timely approval. Quarter schools
have the option to submit winter/spring terms
together.
Before jumping into calendar planning, consider the following:
Consider writing the purpose or chapter goal next to each event on the calendar during the calendar planning process. You can use the space on page 2 to note your chapter’s goals for the current year.
This ensures events are aligned with the purpose and chapter goals can be achieved. Announce the purpose/goal to the chapter at the beginning of the event.
Work to schedule no more than one anchored event per week, except during weeks with recruitment and Inspiration and Initiation.
A weekend event may be the anchored event for the following week if the anchored event is typically early in the week.
Try to schedule anchored events (programming, activity) on the same night as formal chapter and monthly business meetings.
Some events, such as Founders Day, chapter retreat or a required Panhellenic event are often moved to a different day from the regular meeting night to accommodate a program or allow more time for the event.
If an event is moved to Saturday, then there is no need for a programming/activity event or business meeting on Sunday.
Short announcements may be made before the weekly anchored event and information may be distributed electronically.
Events may be combined to one gathering.
A formal chapter can be combined with a business meeting, scholarship recognition and/or fireside. When combining these events into one gathering, please make sure that each individual event is still entered into e-Ops+.
If the chapter is applying for the Patricia Peterson Danielson Award, please consider enhancing your calendar with programs.
Programming to develop members’ social skills, event to include faculty/administration for the purpose of social, cultural or scholastic association.

Article II and Chapter Goals
Use the space on this page to write down your chapter’s current goals. Submit your chapter goals and action plans each year to your RCS/CAC. Chapter goals, programming and events should always help us live out the purpose of Delta Gamma. This purpose is stated in Article II of the Delta Gamma Constitution:
“The objects of this Fraternity shall be to foster high ideals of friendship among women, to promote their educational and cultural interests, to create in them a true sense of social responsibility, and to develop in them the best qualities of character.”

Event Timeframe Notes
Bylaws & Standing Rules Presentation First business meeting following RCS/CAC approval during spring term
Present changes to current BLSR model at a business or formal chapter meeting. To ensure membership buy-in and awareness, the chapter needs to be involved in suggesting modifications. Note the modifications will encompass all changes approved by the RCS/CAC. Inform the chapter they will have one week to review the final BLSR changes prior to the vote taking place. It is important the membership knows what they are voting on, as this is the document that will govern the chapter. Post BLSR in a public place or to Google Drive, or print copies for every chapter member. Make sure the presentation announcements are recorded in the minutes from the business or formal chapter meeting.
Bylaws & Standing Rules Vote to Approve One week after presentation and prior to end of spring term

Event Timeframe Notes
Academic Calendar Dates & Key University Events
Academic dates include first and last day of classes, breaks, final exams, etc.
Key university events may include football/basketball games for some schools, Homecoming weekend, Parents’ Weekend or a campus day of service.
Formal Chapter Minimum of six per year (three per semester or two per quarter), including during CDC visit and first meeting after Initiation
The date of the CDC visit may not be known until after the calendar is submitted and there may be adjustments. Either schedule six formal chapters and then add a seventh for the CDC visit, or switch a formal chapter and a programming event after the date is determined. Dress codes for formal chapter are in the chapter Bylaws and Standing Rules.
Chapter Retreat Annually
Refer to the Chapter Retreat Planning Guidelines. Chapter Retreat should incorporate several programs, such as a RPW, service project, Foundation Awareness, fireside and/or program from the Cable List. Plan Chapter Retreat to incorporate many purposes. Note: It is difficult without using multi-purpose programming to meet the goals. A retreat with one sisterhood activity (e.g. ropes course, theater event or water park) will not meet all the goals. Chapter retreats after spring break should be avoided.
Founders Day Annually Should occur during the spring, as close to March 15 as possible. Work with the local alumnae group(s) for an enriching Founders Day experience.

Cable List
10 March 2016
After all events from the Anchor List are added, schedule other events to be designated as the anchored weekly event, or an optional sisterhood/social event. The events should tie to Delta Gamma’s purpose as stated in Article II of the Constitution:
The objects of this Fraternity shall be to foster high ideals of friendship among women, to promote their educational and cultural interests, to create in them a true sense of social responsibility, and to develop in them the best qualities of character.
Other programming events should be entered on e-Ops+ as calendar entry type “Event-Programming Event or Activity.” Change the description in the e-Ops+ description box to describe the program or activity, and add the location and the officer who is responsible. Example: Article II Program at the chapter house (vp: programming). Remember, information in the description box must give the RCS/CAC enough detail for her to understand the program or activity planned before approving the calendar. If the description is left as “Program” or “Activity,” the calendar will not be approved.
vp: social standards
Events Notes
Social Events without Alcohol An Event Guideline must be completed for social events without alcohol when applicable. Event Guidelines for events without alcohol are reviewed and approved by the ATC. Refer to Delta Gamma Event Guideline Form – Events without Alcohol and Planning Guide for Socials (no alcohol).

vp: programming
Events Notes
Anchors of Discovery Cables
Campus and Community Involvement – Participation in campus and community-wide programs, activities and/or cultural and
diversity events area a way to connect, contribute and engage with the surrounding community and increase Delta Gamma visibility. Character and Leadership – Programs in this area are designated to develop leadership, training and project management skills
as well as the nurturing of ethical and admirable character. Health and Wellness – Activities in this area emphasize the delivery of health and wellness related topics for the educational
benefit of the individual and the community in order to promote safe, healthy and productive lifestyles. Career and Life Skills – Programs in this area are designed to enhance an individual member’s development in the areas of
academics, career development, job search skills and life state and transition needs. Refer to Anchors of Discovery.
Program to Explore Delta Gamma Ideals and Standards
Work with Executive Offices to schedule a PRO speaker for your chapter. Consider attending a Delta Gamma Lectureships in Values & Ethics in your region.
Program to Foster Sisterhood
Is different from an option “sisterhood activity” for those interested in doing a specific activity together, e.g. lunch at campus dining hall, bowling, movie. Before anchoring an event to promote sisterhood, ask: Will all members want to attend? Will members have the change to interact versus sitting together and watching? If the answers are no, make it an optional sisterhood. Refer to Sisterhood and Social Events.
Cable List
11 March 2016
vp: programming (continued)
Program to Promote Educational and Cultural Interests
Broaden members’ understanding and appreciation for the world and simulate intellectual curiosity. Can be calendared or planned by a different officer and/or include others from outside the chapter (other organizations on campus, alumnae, parents). Might be considered a sisterhood, social, Panhellenic or collumnae event. Coordinate around activities that interest the chapter, but are different from routine campus culture.
Program on Social Awareness Includes etiquette dinner/presentation at a chapter event. Work with vp: member education to utilize Etiquette Handbook.
Sisterhood Events – recommended monthly
An optional (not anchored) sisterhood event is designed to appeal to some, but not all sisters. It is also a time all sisters may not be able to attend. This is different from a weekly required (anchored) event with a program to foster sisterhood for all members. The timing (night of regular chapter meeting), location, as well as ability for all members to interact and get to know each other better will help determine if the event is for all members and promotes sisterhood or is a social event for some sisters to have fun together.
Sisterhood Collumnae Event
Events for returning chapter alumnae such as a homecoming brunch are considered sisterhood collumnae events and are not anchored. Local alumnae often invite collegiate chapter members to join alumnae members at a program the alumnae have separately planned and scheduled. If the event is not anchored for collegiate members, it is entered on e-Ops+ as a sisterhood collumnae event and is not the required anchored collumnae event. Refer to Collumnae Event Planning Guidelines.
vp: member education
vp: Panhellenic
Events Notes
Panhellenic Program or Event Required by Panhellenic
List campus Panhellenic events on your calendar.
Events Notes
Be What You Seem Is scheduled after week 6 of new member education period as the weekly anchored event. Should not be a part of Inspiration. For larger chapters, the chapter should split into groups to make this more meaningful and not as lengthy
Program on our Rituals
Consider working the following informal rituals into your calendar: wear your badge days, door decorations, rituals board in house/space, rituals at new member meetings, supportive sister bra/laundry line with paper bras, letter days, Sister of the Month, Sister Queen and inspirational quotes at the end of meeting. Refer to the Rituals Handbook or the Informal Ritual Programs document in the DG website for ongoing informal ritual ideas that are fun and easy to incorporate into your chapter’s calendar.
Scholarship Enrichment
There is no such thing as too much recognition for academic effort and achievement! Be practical. Don’t break the bank or the budget; creativity and recognition to not have to be expensive. Balance “major” awards with frequent recognition and acknowledgement. Be creative. In addition to presenting awards, maintain a scholarship board in the chapter house for numerous forms of positive and public recognition. Members love to see their names! Include new members. They benefit from motivation and recognition, too.
12 March 2016
Panhellenic Meetings (weekly) Add Panhellenic meetings to the calendar. This populates a task that allows the vp: Panhellenic to upload the meeting minutes.
Inter-Fraternal Activities Consider adding your campus’ inter-fraternal activities to reflect a more accurate picture of the chapter’s commitments. Keep in mind these activities when scheduling the chapter’s events and invitations to other campus organizations.
vp: Foundation
