How does your chapter pass along its vision and strategy from year to year? How do you communicate your vision throughout the school year to chapter members?

Mark #2: Partnership between staff and students. How would you describe your relationship with your InterVarsity staffworker? How would your staffworker describe it? What are some of the obstacles to trust and partnership? What would help build trust and partnership?

Pretend you've been a freshman visiting your l-V chapter during the last two months. What would be your impressions of this group of Christians?

Mark #4: Strategic evangelism. What are some of the different affinity groups on your campus (for example, engineers, gays, afternoon commuters, mainland Chinese, student cafeteria workers)? Are there people in your chapter who might be able to make inroads into some of these groups?

How well do chapter members build friendships with the nonbelievers around them? What would help foster such friendships?

Mark #5: Strong small groups. What strategic role do small groups play on your campus? How well do small-group leaders understand this role?

In what ways does your small-group strategy support your chapter's broader vision? How might adopting a small-group curriculum help your chapter?

Mark #8: Regular corporate prayer. How did you find yourselves depending on God this past year? How did God act in obvious and powerful ways? How did he act in subtle ways?

Mark #9: Helpful traditions. What traditions does your chapter own? Which are helpful and should be passed on? If they are mostly conceptual in nature (for example, promoting the idea of a daily quiet time) rather than enacted (for example, giving regularly to IFES), what could you do to make these traditions memorable and meaningful?
