Brotherhood and Service Adam Pallas and Renee Rathjen MWD President and VP 2015-2016
Definitions • What is brotherhood? • What is service? • Take 10 minutes and discuss.
Brotherhood and Service • What did you come up with? • How can they compliment each other?
Why is brotherhood important? • “To provide a pleasant and helpful social experience for ALL engaged in college band work…” • We’re part of bands, too • We are more effective as a fraternity when we enjoy each others’ company • We work better together when we like each other
Balance Between them • So, how can we balance this? • Host regular brotherhood events • Get to know people in your chapter • Relax and destress with brothers (movies, food, games) • Reconnect with your purposes and why you joined (scrapbooking making/viewing night, watch old marching band DVDs or listen to old concert recordings)
Service as brotherhood? • Why can’t service also be brotherhood? • Go out to eat after a service project • Host a service project as part of a brotherhood retreat • Pair up projects; work with someone new • Make it into a game (but don’t lose sight of quality!)
Passive vs active • But wait, service AS brotherhood? So why have separate brotherhood events? • Service as brotherhood events are passively building brotherhood – you want to be ACTIVELY building these bonds as well
Questions? • How does this work in your chapter? • Anything we didn’t address?
