Chapter Bulletin Boards
Bulletin boards have proven to be successful tools in maintaining communication with chapter members. Below you will see some examples of chapter bulletin boards. The most important part of having a chapter bulletin board is to keep it current, so chapter members know to check it often. Chapters are encouraged to include the following items in the display:

• Title: Kappa Delta Pi
• General Society information (scholarships, conferences, member benefits)
• Calendar of chapter events
• Chapter counselor and officers’ contact information
• Current pictures of chapter events – change them frequently to draw attention to the board


Eta Iota Chapter
Edinboro University, PA

The Eta Iota Chapter shares its bulletin board with the Pennsylvania State Educators Association (PSEA). By sharing the bulletin board, the two organizations have visibility on campus, but maintain their own identity. This is a great way to build a partnership with another education organization, and is particularly ideal when bulletin board availability is limited.

Sigma Tau Chapter at Mount Saint Mary College, NY
The Sigma Tau Chapter’s bulletin board uses all the space available, but does not appear cluttered. The board features Society scholarships that are available, informational brochures and bookmarks, and logos for the Society and the chapter. It is neat, clean, and very effective.

Beta Epsilon Chapter at Longwood University, VA
As a way to recognize new initiates, this chapter used an Apple Tree Bulletin Board. Each apple floating down from the tree had a new member’s name on it.
Gamma Phi Chapter at Northwestern State University, LA
As part of its Honor an Educator Program, this chapter recognized its counselor for her outstanding work and congratulated her on completing her doctoral degree.

Alpha Beta Kappa Chapter at Valdosta State University, GA
Simple but effective. This chapter created visibility for itself by displaying a variety of different member benefits.

Notice how the chapter displays t-shirts. This is a great way to showcase t-shirts or other apparel the chapter may be selling as a fund-raiser.
Pi Iota Chapter at Tarleton State University, TX
This chapter created a seasonally themed board. Changing the display by season is a good way to keep people checking for updates.

Things to think about:
• Vary colors as you change the board to attract attention
• Use seasonal or theme decorations to create an eye-catching display
• Choose a location where many college of education students travel such as a main hallway or at the top of a set of stairs
• Keep the board clean and neat–sometimes less is more.
