12 Women's Day Celebration Ideas Your Sorority Will Love
A very niche artist once said, "Who runs the world? Girls." Okay, Beyonce said it. BUT the 2000s queen is right!
Gather your sorority sisters and grab your matching sweatshirts, it's time you get a rundown on all the popular ways sorority girls are celebrating International Women's Day this year.
Whether you're looking to bond with your member class, create content that'll make your Instagram or TikTok pop off, or just celebrate the incredible women in your chapter, we've got you covered with a whole range of ideas.
Here are some of our favorite sorority women’s day ideas and events for your chapter! Pick the one you love the most and make your Women's Day celebration a memorable one. Pro tip: Don't feel pressured to pick just one – mix and match these ideas to create the perfect day that fits your chapter's vibe and budget.
Indulge in a Spa Day — Picture this: calm rejuvenation while sipping Hot tea
That much-needed break you keep talking about? IWD is the perfect day to finally get to it. Treat yourself and your fellow boss babes to a chill day at Face Foundrié (or wherever is closest and fits your budget).
Think of it as the ultimate self-care day. Book group treatments like facials, manicures, or even just hang out in the relaxation room with cucumber water and those little spa cookies that somehow taste better when you're in a robe. If professional spas are outside your budget, no worries. Create your own DIY spa experience in the sorority house with face masks, nail polish, and those jade rollers everyone's been obsessing over.
Don't forget to rock comfy sorority merch and get some bomb ‘sisters-at-the-spa’ pics that'll show your whole campus how close you guys are.
Sorority House Sleepover!
Not just any sleepover, make it the ultimate slumber party. You know, the kind that looks like it's straight out of a rom-com handbook.
We're talking popcorn (get the fancy kind with different flavors like white cheddar or caramel), classic rom-com movies (Legally Blonde and Princess Diaries would definitely be our picks), endless Netflix binges, and face masks with your besties.
Set up different stations around the house: a nail bar in one room, a movie marathon in the living room, and maybe even a midnight snack station because let's be real, nobody's sleeping until 3 AM anyway.
Plus, if you all show up in matching sorority tees you'll get that perfect cozy feeling of sisterhood and belongingness, and the perfect content for your socials.
We can already imagine your adorable photo dump with a cute caption like ‘Happy Women's Day 2026! Celebrating with the Best 🥂!’
Galentine's Day Brunch — If yours is pending, do it This Day!
If you missed out on Galentine's Day brunch, don't sweat it! It's never too late to celebrate the ladies in your sorority with a brunch that'll make those roadside coffee and croissant girlies in Paris jealous. Grab some waffles, mocktails, and fruits (because they're colorful and pretty.. oh, and healthy).
Set up at the closest park near you, or if weather isn't cooperating, transform your chapter room into a brunch paradise. Take lots of pics, create and share Women's Day memes - all of it!
And, why stop there? Extend the invite to all your ride-or-dies - your mom, your sister, your BFF...anyone who's got your back. Let's all come together and live our best lives. Think Emily in Paris but without all that drama (and probably better fashion choices, let's be honest).
Do Some Good
Take IWD to show the world what your sorority stands for. We're talking about putting together a killer charity event or lending a hand at your local women's shelter. This is where you can really flex those leadership skills and show that your sorority isn't just about social events – you're about making real change in your community.
Make sure to begin coordinating and planning early to truly ensure success here. Reach out to local organizations at least a month in advance, coordinate with your chapter's philanthropy chair, and maybe even partner with other Greek organizations to make an even bigger impact. Think beyond just writing a check – organize care package drives, volunteer at events, or host awareness campaigns on campus.
If you missed the ball on planning early, no worries. We can help you raise money for a women's charity of your choosing too. Doing a group order makes it a breeze to create your own Women's Day celebration merch and set up shop online. You share the link, we cut you the profits so you can donate, and boom — you're a fundraising queen!
But let's be real, it's not just about good karma. You also get to flex your sick sorority designs and show off your planning skills. What better way to live the "women support women" life than valuable donations for a good cause?
Self-Defense Class — Cause, why not?
Want to make it a badass celebration instead? Sign yourself and your sister up for that self-defense masterclass and get ready to kick some butt (literally). There's nothing more empowering than knowing you and your girls can defend yourselves.
Look for classes that teach practical techniques like situational awareness, basic strikes, and how to break free from grabs. Chances are, your local self-defense classes are running discounts for the day! Make use of them and get those endorphins running.
After the class, celebrate your newfound badass skills with a group dinner where everyone can share what they learned and how empowered they feel. Document the experience (with permission from the instructor) to inspire other chapters to do the same.
Clothing Swap — Don’t scroll away, let us tell you why!
You know how it is, closets bursting with clothes but nothing to wear. Enter the clothing swap the ultimate get-together for trendsetters like you!
Here's how it works: you gather all the sorority merch (clothes, accessories, and shoes) you like but don't wear anymore (we all have 'em) and bring them to the party. Then, you trade them with your friends for their gently-used threads.
It's like a fashion exchange program! No need to toss out your old duds, because someone out there wants 'em. Plus, it's a great excuse to get together, drink some wine, and try on each other's questionable fashion choices. Throw on your sorority apparel, turn up that ‘X’ factor, and show off a hot girl walk that'll outdo Bella Hadid!

Yoga and Meditation — Embracing the serene life
Ya'll are stressed. That's not news. Between midterms, planning upcoming Greek life events, chapter meetings, and trying to maintain some semblance of a social life, who isn't feeling overwhelmed? Why not take the day to regroup a little?
Grab your custom sorority dri-fits and get your zen on with some yoga and meditation. A practice that's sworn by many across the world - it's a great way to de-stress and recharge your batteries. It doesn't have to be intense or long so you don't scare the newbies away! You can kick it off with a beginner-level session and pair it with a follow up activity to get more people invested.
Set the mood with essential oils, soft music, and maybe even some crystals if that's your vibe. Create a peaceful space in your chapter room or, weather permitting, take it outside for that natural vitamin D boost. Then, end the session with some intention setting for the rest of Women's History Month.
DIY Crafts — Yes, it’s still a thing, ladies!
Don't roll your eyes just yet, because DIY crafts are the REAL deal! You just need to pair it with delicious snacks, take off the pressure of creating something brilliant, and make it a gossip session to keep it light and fun.
Think beyond the basic friendship bracelet (though those are cute too). We're talking about projects with purpose: customizing phone cases with empowering quotes, creating vision boards for your post-grad goals, making personalized bookmarks with feminist quotes, or even designing custom tote bags with charms and embroidered patches.
You can even get everyone in cozy custom sweats sets and whip up some personalized jewelry, funky home decor, or even a beautiful bouquet of flowers. All you'll need is to hit up the crafts store or your local stationery and you're all set. Who knows, you might just surprise yourself with your crafting skills.
Women's Day Photo Booth
Dust off those formal decorations from the closet, 'cause we're about to set up the ultimate photo booth. Strike a pose with your sisters, and snap some fun and memorable pics with all the props and backdrops you can handle.
Create different themed areas: a "girl boss" corner with briefcases and blazers, a "self-care queen" section with face masks and robes, and a classic sorority setup with your letters prominently displayed. Make or buy props that celebrate female empowerment - think signs that say "Future CEO," "Nevertheless, She Persisted," or "Girls Support Girls."
And of course, rep your sisterhood pride with your go-to sorority sweatshirt or other apparel. It's the perfect way to reuse those fancy decorations and show off your sisterhood at the same time!
For the *Forever* Gamers
Channel your inner beast mode and let the competitive rage you've held in since that one game of Monopoly when you were 8. We're talkin' mind-boggling board games, card games (yup, we're lookin' at you, UNO), and even some sick video games.
Bust out those PS5s and X-Boxes, and if you're feeling extra spicy, hook up the VR sets. Make it all high stakes with a fully curated premium sorority merch gift box for the winner! Who doesn't want a custom North Face?
Good Ol’ Movie Night
Yes, we talked about movies in the sleepover idea, but this is not the same. We want you to enjoy a fun night OUT (think, drive-in screenings!) with a movie marathon featuring films that celebrate strong and inspiring women, like Hidden Figures, Little Women, or Wonder Woman. Or, feel free to book the tickets for a new release that’s about to become the next box office hit.
Make it a whole event by coordinating outfits, grabbing dinner beforehand, and maybe even doing some pre-movie activities. The goal is to celebrate women in film while creating memories with your sisters.
It’s Time for a Soirée…
Flex those culinary skills and throw an epic dinner party celebrating the diversity of your sisters! Get your taste buds ready for a global tour of flavors - from Asian to Mexican, Italian to French, and everything in between. This is your chance to learn about each other's backgrounds and family traditions through amazing food. Make it a fancy potluck so everyone can show off their favorite dishes from different cultures!
Ask each sister to bring a dish that represents their heritage or a culture they're passionate about, along with a little card explaining the significance of the dish.
Set up the evening like a proper dinner party with assigned seating that mixes different pledge classes, conversation starter cards on the tables, and maybe even a toast dedicated to celebrating the diverse, incredible women in your chapter.
All everyone needs to bring is one dish, their A+ custom fit game, their appetites, and good vibes for a night of soul food and happy convos with their sisters.
Bonus Ideas (Cause We Love Y’all)
Empowerment Workshop Series: Partner with your campus women's center to host workshops on topics like financial literacy, career networking, or public speaking. Make learning fun with interactive activities and guest speakers who can share real-world advice.
Sister Spotlight Ceremony: Create a special ceremony where you highlight the achievements and unique qualities of each sister. Think beyond just academic accomplishments – celebrate the sister who always makes everyone laugh, takes time to volunteer off-campus, or the one who brings the best snacks to chapter meetings.
Time Capsule Creation: Have each sister write a letter to their future self, including their current goals, dreams, and favorite memories from the sorority so far. Seal them up to open at a future reunion or senior graduation celebration.
