Activities

Ag Day

Each spring we participate in Ag Day which is hosted by the College of Agriculture and Natural Resources. There are tons of fun and games for the community to participate in! We create a display that follows the theme of Ag Day and we have a bake sale. We have a great time as a group and love interacting with our community!

 

 

State Convention

Each March the Delaware State FFA Association holds the State Convention in Clayton Hall on Campus. Our chapter goes and sets-ups a display for the College and we volunteer our time to help with the Career Development Events. We love talking with the high schools and telling them about the University of Delaware and spending time with our fellow collegiate chapters.

 

 

Alumni Banquet

Each spring we attend the Delaware FFA Alumni Foundation’s Annual Basket Auction. Our chapter donates a University of Delaware theme basket to the auction each year which raises money for our high school chapters in the state. It’s always a great time!

 

 

Holiday Party

Every year, on the last day of classes of the fall semester, we have our Holiday Party. We have a great time getting together, everybody brings food, and we play games and celebrate the end of the semester and the beginning of the Holiday Season.

 

 

Fruit and Poinsettia Fundraiser

During the fall semester of every year, we hold our biggest fundraiser as a chapter – Fruit and Poinsettia Sales. All of our profits from the fruit go towards our activities throughout the year and all of the proceeds from the Poinsettias go towards our scholarship fund from which we give 2 scholarships to deserving members each year. We have a great time sorting and delivering all of the fundraiser. There’s no better feeling than money in your pocket!

 

 

National Officer Visit

Delaware has the privilege of hosting the National Officer Training for five years. As members of the UD chapter, we are asked to host a dinner each year that invites all of the New Castle County high school chapters and our chapter, along with our Dean of the College of Ag and many other special guests. It’s a great opportunity to get to know the National Officers each year and tell them what Delaware is all about!

 

 

Community Service

As a chapter, we try to do as many community service projects as possible. We visit Sunrise Assisted Living Community, participate in trail clean-up, Relay For Life, Ag Carnival, Canned Food Drives, as well as many independent projects. We always incorporate lots of fun in all of what we do!

 

 

Ag Carnival

Every Fall Ag Community Council hosts the Ag Carnival. All of the organizations in the College of Ag form teams and participate in carnival-like games. There are games like ice cream stacking, hay bale toss, apple necking and many others. We all make shirts and show great team spirit! Every team is required to donate one item to an auction for Agribility. It’s a great cause and we all have a ton of fun!!

 

 

National Convention

Every October, our chapter sends people to represent the University at the National FFA Convention in Indianapolis, IN. Over 50,000 people come to this event, so it’s a privilege to be able to go. We have a huge display and join hundreds of other exhibitors in the career fair in recruiting FFA members to come to their Universities or to come work for them. We go to workshops, collegiate events, concerts and rodeos. National Convention is so much fun and very exciting!
