We had an outside person make the care packages, we paid $7/package, it came out to about $8/package with total costs (postage, etc.), and we sold them for $15. They were pretty popular, especially with the parents of transfers and freshmen students. We would then deliver the care packages to students during midterms week. This will only work however, if you have a reasonable amount of resident students. I am not familiar with your school, but if you have like 10,000+ resident students and only 25 girls in your chapter, then that might not be the best idea.

We probably have about 4000 students who live on campus, so we're about the same size as you. I know that another company that's near campus does care packages for the beginning of the school year, or some other event (I really don't know), but they're very pricey. This may work for us, thank-you! One question, though: what did you put in the care packages?
If anyone has any other suggestions, please post them. I'll give a list of possible ideas to our Philanthropy Chair, and hopefully some of your ideas will work!
