Staying Connected Over the Summer

School’s out for the summer! Well, for some of us. Many sisters are lucky enough to be geographically close to each other during the summer which makes staying connected easier. But for others, our chapter sisters may spread far and wide for internships, vacations or returning back home. Whether you are 2 miles or 1500 miles apart, here are some ways to stay connected with each other this summer:

• Social Media – Are you following your sisters on Twitter, LinkedIn and Pinterest? If not, find them! Then, find fun ways to connect over those mediums. Create a dinner party via Pinterest - you can each make a different course and post a review. Start a book club over Twitter. Review each other’s listing on LinkedIn and provide recommendations that will help with their job search next year.
• Facebook – Make sure to keep updating your chapter’s Facebook page. This can be a two-way street. You can provide information about the chapter as well as inviting chapter sisters to share their adventures over the summer. What did they learn in their internship? What are they most excited about for when they return to school? Where did their summer travels take them? 
• Snail Mail – Who doesn’t love getting something in the mail! Send your sisters a postcard from wherever you land this summer. Local museums and festivals often have great postcards that can help tell your story from this summer. 
• Meet-Up – If you are lucky enough to be near each other, be sure to meet up with sisters for dinner. Visit a museum together. Volunteer for a local animal shelter.
  Phone – Sometimes a good old-fashioned phone call is the best way to catch up. So no matter how easy it is to text, consider dialing! Hearing a good friend’s voice can make the distance between you feel smaller.
