fundraising ideas on the smaller scale

So these are ideas on the smaller scale, but will still work with your large chapter. these are ways to earn some money while having a little fun too, called bail outs and shantytowns.

Bail out:
you create a makeshift jail cell and have a member of your group sit in it for a day (you can switch off) and collect money for the "bail out fund". Placing the jail cell in a crowded area on campus or in the yard surrounded by the different houses allows more people to walk by and donate small amounts.

Shantytown:
you can do this within your group or get another group involved (like another sorority). Two people make a house or "fort" out of whatever they can, a person from each group needs to sit in the fort for 24 hours (again, you can switch off). People will walk by and give money to the fort they like the best. it makes for a fun competition, and if both forts contain someone from your group then you get to keep all the profits!
