I really like that idea. And if all the other chapters on your campus do a craft, this will sure make you stand out in the PNMs' minds! And you're right, a lot of time the crafts are kinda meaningless and don't do much to actually benefit the org that's your philanthropy - BUT gaining more members that will be active in volunteering DOES help them.
