Also contact the church or synagogue organizations on campus to find out when their Thanksgiving event takes place. Maybe you can volunteer at the local homeless shelter and help make a less fortunate person's day brighter.

Barb, you so kick a$$. Def one of my favo GC's here. Good idea. Great advice.
To add on to PT's, Most large cities have a huge dinner for anyone who cant be with family. My chapter has been volunterring there for years, so you could work that in the AM (getting ready) and then maybe spend the afternoon/eve with friends or sisters. Last year I couldnt get away and after asking around found that about 12 of us couldnt travel, so we all celebrated together. Nothing like watching a bunch of 20 year olds trying to do a turkey and stuffing. Had a blast tho. Used "borrowed" plywood for a table top, 4 empty kegs for table legs and a sheet (god I hope it was clean) for a table cloth. Pulled the couches up to the makeshift table and had our feast. It was a blast and then we watched movies and got plowed. Next day all celebrated as UT clobbered A&M 48-6 or something bad like that (did I mention it was with our then back-up QB and three 2nd string running backs?) All in all a great holiday.
