Events are what make or break an organization. You need to have fun activities that members identify with your organization. If someone were to ask you: “What does your organization do?” your activities would be the answer. The most common and basic event to hold is the regular meeting. This should either be weekly or bi-monthly to keep members involved. Cover administrative issues at these meetings, but have something else to make it exciting. Have a debate/discussion right after administrative details on issues pertaining to liberty. This is a great way to get members excited about liberty, interacting with one another, and do it all with minimal effort. Additional events include:
- Bring a speaker to campus
- Movie Night
- Debate another student organization (e.g. the campus socialists)
- Social Events
- Organizational Dinner
- Protest/Demonstration
- Visit another student organization dedicated to liberty at a nearby campus
- Attend a Students For Liberty Conference (Attending events outside your university is a great way to build camaraderie and bonds between members. And Students For Liberty Conferences are incredibly fun events as well.)
