(STEP 4: HAVE YOUR FIRST MEETING)

The first meeting is very essential when starting a new club. Just like a first impression, you want your club to appear its best. This is where the club members first meet one another. The meeting should be welcoming, with snacks and drinks provided. It should be relatively interesting, so there should be some sort of games involved to keep members interested and anticipated to stay.
During the first club meeting, members should introduce themselves through the “ice breaker”, a common activity in which members introduce themselves and share an interesting fact about themselves. This is the part where members get to know one another, where they come from, what their majoring, and etc. After going around the circle and learning a bit about each other, it is time to present the ‘constitution’ to the group, and be sure to ask for questions and feedback. Every member should receive a copy. Together, they will talk about the club’s purpose, its leadership structure and voting method. When you’re done going over it, ask if anyone has any changes they would like to suggest. After you have addressed any concerns, ask the group to adopt the constitution. Finally, club members will go over upcoming events.
