I don't *think* Mary Kay and Avon qualify as pyramid schemes, but when I was active, I had sisters who sold that stuff. They'd suggest to the COB chair that we do a MK or Avon "spa day" as an event. Girls came and they had fun, but I didn't like the idea of selling stuff while promoting the sorority. So when my Big became Recruitment Director, she put a stop to it.

When I became sisterhood chair, the same girls wanted to do parties for their produscts as "sisterhood events." I always said no. It didn't make them very happy, but again, I didn't like the sorority being associated with coming Avon/MK parties and feeling obligated to spend money that you might not have.
