Ladygreek - This was for the 9 officers in our chapter, not our national fraternity. Our national conventions certainly put a boom on the economy too I'm sure, though I doubt think we could fix someone's debt.
I understand, but even on as local basis we have no problem booking rooms for retreats, etc., or getting charitable donations. Major coporations such as General Mills, Cargill, Medtronic, etc. have never hesitated to support our charitable programs. Not to mention the support the collegiate chapter gets from the schools in their service area.
