Our house (Gamma Chapter at UW-Madison) was built around 1920 and never had a sprinkler system installed. We need to add them for the safety of the girls -- and to meet code -- within a couple years. The cost, however, is around $130,000. It's not really fair to charge collegiate member more, so we need to come up with a few fundraising ideas. One thought was to have a reunion weekend where alums could stay in house maybe elsewhere. (We aren't sure about the rules for alcohol if it's JUST alums and no students). Has anyone done anything like this? Any other ideas for fundraising some major expenses? NO car washes!!
Thanks.
