8. Beginning Planning • One of the first things you will need to do is to begin planning the date, time and location where you will be having your induction. • Chapter preferences include: *Date: Between May 1 and September 1 *Location: At the campus if at all possible *Student/faculty speakers *Cake and Beverages

9. Budget Planning • As we have mentioned – you won’t know exactly how many people you will have attend. • Using the example in the previous slide…you started with 100 on your list, you estimate 35 will accept and 25 will RSVP. You are entitled to $30 per member that RSVP’s or attends. In addition you will receive $30 for up to 5 campus guests or assistants. • 25 + 5 = 30 X 30 = $900

10. Invitation • No less than 90 days out from your ceremony, you should send an Eventbrite invitation to all qualified candidates, members and campus administration. • You will need to coordinate this with the Eventbritecoordinator at your campus. • The invitation will stipulate that each candidate may bring up to 2 adult guests.

28. Ceremony • Your ceremony will follow the program with verbiage from the script. • After the welcome and key note address – the script begins with the “introduction”. • As new members are presented, they come up to the podium and are handed their certificate. This is when you will pin the purple ribbon. • Following the conclusion on the script – you may want to finish with quotes on what this means to students and promote making this special.
