Introducing the NER Membership Toolkit: Equipping Chapters to Thrive

The Northeastern Region continues its commitment to intentional, sustainable chapter development with the launch of the NER Membership Toolkit is a comprehensive resource created to equip chapters with the tools they need to recruit, engage, and retain members with excellence.

Developed for the region under the leadership of Madam Dawne S. Stanton, 25th Northeastern Region Syntaktes, and in collaboration with Dr. Jasmine Robinson, Northeastern Region Membership Chair, this toolkit reflects a shared vision: supporting chapters with clarity, consistency, and confidence.

A Toolkit Designed With Chapters in Mind

The NER Membership Toolkit serves as a practical guide for every stage of the membership journey. Whether chapters are welcoming new members, strengthening bonds with current sorors, or supporting reclamation and reactivation efforts, the toolkit provides strategies and resources that promote long-term sustainability and meaningful engagement.

More than a reference document, it is a living resource one that encourages intentional planning, thoughtful leadership, and adaptive approaches tailored to each chapter’s unique needs.

Rooted in Purpose, Built for Impact

This initiative reflects the Northeastern Region’s dedication to celebrating the individuality of each chapter while maintaining shared standards and best practices. The toolkit reinforces the importance of sisterhood, accountability, and collaboration, all while honoring Sigma Gamma Rho’s proud legacy of Greater Service, Greater Progress.

A Collaborative Labor of Love

The development of the NER Membership Toolkit represents the collective effort of dedicated leaders and committee members who believe that well-supported chapters are the foundation of a strong region. Special appreciation is extended to the Membership Committee whose commitment, insight, and service made this resource possible.

As chapters explore and implement the toolkit, Anti-Basilei and leadership teams are encouraged to share it widely and use it as a guide for ongoing growth and engagement.

Together, we will continue to elevate our chapters, strengthen our region, and move forward with intention.
