Anyways, our two philanthropies are the Special Olympics and the S. June Smith Center, a center for children with developmental disabilities and their families. I have a DVD that they sent me, so would you suggest playing it on philanthropy day? It's like 5 minutes tops.
Hm, what were the stars used for? Why did the consultant say you couldn't use them? Because they were for a fundraiser and not directly for philanthropy?

Maybe you could make something cool for the Special Olympics participants, a little gift for them or something. Perhaps you could make boxes to hold or display their medals, for example?

I wouldn't show the video unless it's focused on the relationship between your sorority and the philanthropy. On the other hand, if the other groups on your campus show videos it might be a good idea. hmm...
