We need to find a nice balance, whether it be more social events, service events, or events that aren’t Nonaffiliated with Gamma Sig so there’s a sense of variety

# data[].attributes.body
I think the lack of social events last semesters caused issues with people not wanting to stay

# data[].attributes.body
we can say nice optimistic things but it doesnt change the fact that people choose to drop

# data[].attributes.body
If GSS is not for someone then it’s okay. If they stay they may be miserable and not participate.

# data[].attributes.body
I think that once a person drops, we can still keep in touch maybe just don't mention GSS. There are other chances and activities that can still be done with each other.

Get your stuff back from big little 😑

# data[].attributes.body
Don’t worry about it! Everything happens for a reason.

# data[].attributes.body
Just hanging out whether it be to study/do homework or do something fun like seeing a movie

# data[].attributes.body
we have rush week, big/little week, then homecoming. 3 big week long events then it really slows down near the end of the semester. i think we need like another fun week of some sort near the end of the semester. maybe like a "mandatory" service week full of events! mandatory bc if we make it optional no one will like for month of kindness.

Alternatives to dropping and being transparent with feelings

# data[].attributes.body
Keep good relationships with members even when they drop

Get to know the MITs better and keep them well included

# data[].attributes.body
I think its important that we don't get discouraged because GSS may not have been for this person. We should respect their decision and not push for friendships. If they still want to be friends, they can reach out.

# data[].attributes.body
Be supportive and understanding.

Try to come up with alternatives to dropping.

Locate the issue and find a solution or at least try.

# data[].attributes.body
Remind everyone that it’s okay to mess up/not be perfect at school or their position, maybe have a movie night a few times a semester

GAME NIGHT

# data[].attributes.body
I think member retention is hard and that is a hard thing to combat and take in. I think remembering most of the time it isn’t personal

# data[].attributes.body
I think creating more informal fun events would help, especially between MITs and actives.

Dinners after chapter/movie nights to just hang out together

# data[].attributes.body
If people drop, just let them go. Don’t try to be nice and keep the friendship. They left for a reason
