Outdoor Activities
Float trips, camping trips, sporting events, and many other activities can be done outdoors and away from campus. These are not difficult to plan and provide a lot of fun for chapter members and local alumni who wish to be involved. Other fraternities and sororities are encouraged to participate in these events when possible.
Parties, Swaps, & Mixers
One aspect of college is going to parties. It is just one part of the overall experience and Alpha Kappa Lambda allows a chapter to host parties as long as the AKL Risk Management Policy is being followed. Members and friends of age should be able to drink in a safe and secure atmosphere where members are trained and educated on their limitations. This is in addition to any local, state, and federal laws that are also in place. Parties can be hosted at a house or local venue. Make sure to check the institution’s policy on hosting events off campus and proper registration procedures.
Semi-Formal/Formal
Many fraternities and sororities across the country organize a “Semi-Formal” or “Formal” once or twice a year. This is normally near the end of each semester and allows members to unwind and celebrate the successes of the chapter. These events do not have to be restricted to campus or local venues, with some chapters choosing to travel to a destination location.
Intramurals/Sports
One opportunity for members of the chapter to come together in a competitive atmosphere is through intramurals and sports. A chapter can field a team with all members in the various leagues hosted by the institution. Many schools have a Greek intramural league allowing fraternities and sororities to compete against each other.
