There may come a time when you’re tasked with planning a sisterhood event on a tight budget. But keep in mind that just because an event isn’t expensive, that doesn’t mean it has to be boring. Any event can be fun as long as you’re spending time with your sisters. Below are some budget-friendly sisterhood event ideas:
Movie Night: Host a movie night at a sister’s house. You can stream a movie online, or if that’s not an option, go old-school with a DVD and hope someone has a DVD player! Ask each sister to bring one snack and drink to share. Additionally, check out your local cinema—many college campuses with theaters offer deals for students, like a free ticket each week. Pick a week when there’s a movie everyone will enjoy and make a night of it! It’s a fun way to spend time together and then debrief about the film afterward.
Take a Walk: Every campus has a scenic route or a nice park. Get outside with your sisters, wear comfy clothes and enjoy the scenery while spending quality time together.
Attend Local Events: Depending on your location, local towns often host festivals, fairs or other community events. Research upcoming events nearby and invite your sisters to attend! It’s a great way to take a break from school stress while supporting local businesses or charities. You might even find opportunities to volunteer at future events, giving back while bonding with your sisters.
Organize a Pajama Party: Gather as many sisters as you can for a big slumber party—either at the sorority house or at a sister’s apartment. Not only is it a fun bonding experience, but it’s also perfect for creating content for your social media platforms!
Gift Exchange: Have the sisters draw names from a hat, set a budget, and plan a day for the exchange! This activity is a fun way to learn more about each other while bringing a little joy with thoughtful, inexpensive gifts.
No matter which event you choose, the most important thing is the time spent with your sisters—after all, it’s the memories you make together that truly matter.
