My chapter is looking for some ideas for great philanthropy events. We are on a pretty small campus, less than 1,500 people.

So far this year, we have done:
-- Blue Out Game - Everyone wore blue to the football game. We sold wishes for $1 and tied them to balloons and released the balloons at halftime. We also had a raffle for baskets full of prizes.
-- Jailathon - Greek presidents, RD's, RA's, Professors, and the President agreed to participate. We had boxes with their names on it and for each dollar it was 1 minute in jail, up to 60 minutes, then every $5 after that it was another minute in jail. We had the Public Safety officers 'arrest' them, and we set up a jail in the bistro/cafeteria area so these people would be on display in jail.

I want to know what you've done that was successful, and what you've done that flopped and why. We are looking for some new ideas. Other groups on campus have done kickball tournaments, tye dye parties, and "sales" where they auction themselves off to the highest bidder for 24 hours.

Thanks everyone!
