It is only June, but now is the best time to prepare for
your sisterhood and teambuilding retreats coming up at the end of summer. But
we just started our vacations you might think! Yes, but in six short weeks August
will be here and for the majority of our Delta Zeta chapters formal recruitment
is just around the corner!
Planning a great retreat takes a lot of forethought and
planning. A retreat is the perfect way to build sisterhood and strengthen your
team before the start of the school year. There are four main areas of
teambuilding which you can concentrate on: Communication activities, problem
solving and/or decision making activities, adaptability and/or planning
activities, and activities that focus on building trust. The idea is to
perform various activities that are both fun and challenging, and that also
have the “side effect” of building teamwork skills that can help improve your
chapter and members.
What is your favorite retreat activity? Do you have a
special ice breaker which you can’t wait to try with your members? Does your
chapter have a tradition of doing a particular team-builder during retreats?
Delta Zeta has collected a variety of teambuilding
activities on our Pinterest Board on Retreat
Ideas. Do you have a pin you’d suggest adding? Let us know by sharing your
thoughts and links in the comments below for the best ideas for building your
Delta Zeta team!
