Newsletter
To promote your message and for some good publicity, publish a periodic newsletter. Use it to publicize your meeting time and location, your upcoming events, as well as the College Republicans’ perspective on current events and campus issues. It is a great way to get a lot of members involved and the first step toward a publication.

PARTY!
Is there anything to say about that? Find a house or co-sponsor with a frat, publicize it, invite the dems and enjoy! You can also host house parties. Invite the local Republican organizations, College Republicans and candidates (if any) to get together at your house and on your campus. There could even be a fundraising component to it.

Political Campaign
For years now, College Republicans have been key in electing Republicans at every level, everywhere around the country. Obtain a list of the ongoing and upcoming races from your central committee and keep in touch with their volunteers’ coordinator for activities your club would be able to participate in. Be sure to get campaign paraphernalia and distribute it around campus.

Rallies
Rallies are loud and powerful! Choose a time and place with high traffic. Get your American flags out, “GOP” Banners, and blast Toby Keith! Have a few speakers in front of your members cheering and shouting. Have some membership forms or literature for those who decide to join your rally or simply stop by. Rallies are often thematic: Pro-America or Pro-Bush rallies are always very timely. You can also host a rally for a candidate you and your group are campaigning with. Issue-centered rallies are also very effective: anti-Affirmative Action, pro-War on Iraq, etc…


Counter protests also make for good publicity and impact. Make sure that democrats do not go unpunished if they host a rally and spit out their liberal propaganda. Be out there, in force, with signs and flags reminding the crowd that democrats are, in essence, political terrorists.

Volunteer at the Central Committee
A healthy relationship with your central committee can really help your club. Their activities are always short-staffed and could always use the help. You will learn very valuable political tools and it will be a great way for you to promote your club and meet important Republicans.

Voter Registration
Having voter registration forms at your table is always a great idea. When election time approaches, however, voter registration campaigns are a great way to attract new members and help fulfill an important civic duty.

Weekly Club Meetings
These meetings are essential for your club. Hold them once a week preferably; begin with announcements for upcoming events, upcoming opportunities to get involved, etc. Let it be an open forum afterwards, discuss current issues, possible guest speakers you could bring or activities and events you could put together, etc.
