Our chapter does Gong Show every year and we do acts as an exhibition thing and the other groups on campus pay entry fees to have their own acts in it. The other groups get gonged off the stage if they are bad and if they are good, they get to finish their performance. We have a panel of local celebrity judges and we award trophies to winners of various categories, i.e. dance, singing, humor, spirit, etc. Everyone who comes to watch has to pay like 5 bucks to get in and there are hundreds of people who come. We fill the main ballroom at our university to standing room only capacity. It is a really good fundraiser and we send the proceeds to DZ Foundation, Center for Hearing and Speech and AIDS Foundation Houston. We also have a program that we pass out detailing who all is participating in which acts and we sell advertising space in the program to local businesses and make money that way too. The businesses also donate door prizes that we give out. It is so fun!
