Hey brothers! Time for another update from the section 67 chair of fundraising! I’m going to write a little blog post on historians and how to use them to the best of your abilities! They are often under-utilized in a chapter when they can really do so many things!
1. Take pictures! This is probably the biggest thing the historian is known for. They are always at events with their cameras! Make sure that the historian comes to a lot of events, or has people taking pictures at other events they can’t go to! Also make sure you are getting a variety of pictures, you don’t want to have pictures of the historians 3 best friends over and over again!
2. Make a scrapbook! It is always fun to document the semester or year with pictures! You can even make it a fellowship event and have people all get together and make their own page! An electronic scrapbook is fun too!
3. Keep historical documents. This includes new and old! Keep the pledge programs and things hat are used because eventually they will be historic! It is really neat to look back at how things used to be run and see how much the chapter has grown!
4. Write a chapter history. A lot of chapters studied the history of AZ as a whole but its important to know the history of your chapter as well. Who were the founding members and the first president, when was your chapter chartered, who made a big impact on the chapter?
5. Keep a family tree. You all have bigs and littles right? Well make sure to document those! It is fun to draw them as a family tree and keep track of who is related to whom! And don’t start with the president, try to dig up some of those older bigs who have graduated and go back as far as you can!
6. Be creative! There are many things that the historian can do. Think outside the box and use this person as more than paparazzi!
