I'm in a business fraternity (Pi Sigma Epsilon) and we always have fundraisers for various reasons (philanthropy or to go to Nationals/regionals). We are an almost permanent fixture in the lobby of this one building because we always have a table set up there for a bakesale,tshirt sale, etc. I notice that most of our "customers" are other Greeks! we overhear people (independents) sometimes commenting how greeks are always raising money for something, but they make it sound like we're jjust money grubbers and it doesnt go to like any good cause, which of course upsets us coz that's not true at all.
We had a tshirt sale project and it was a huge one because my chapter invested a lot of money for this so that we could send a lot of people to National convention and in addition to table selling and personal selling, some Greeks (Sammies,TKE,TriSig,SAE) allowed us to attend part of a chapter meeting to show off the shirts and take orders from their members. It boosted sales a whole LOT. And of course, we are waayy grateful.
