OK. The first thing to do is to reschedule Greek Week. My school's Greek Week was in early October, a week or two before midterms. Midterms happen when they happen, and the greek community has to work around that.

Each sorority at my school holds one major fundraiser/philanthropy event per year. Panhel ensures no two sororities' fundraisers coincide with each other or with midterms/finals weeks. Back in the day (I'm not sure what is done now) sororities would sell house tickets to any GLO based on size (e.g. a GLO with under 30 members paid one price, 31-60 members paid a higher price, 61+ members paid a still higher price - and if you were in a GLO that had purchased a house ticket, you got in without having to pay extra - the money from the house ticket came out of the GLO's budget). Typically, every sorority purchased house tickets to every other sorority's major fundraiser, and whoever went, went. And whoever went usually wore letters, as a way of saying (e.g.) "AEPhi members are here in support of Late Night with Sigma Kappa!"

Two groups could also team up and hold two events, one in the fall and one in the spring. You'd get 2 groups' manpower for each event and split the take, and since you'd be holding two events, you'd get two events' worth of income for your philanthropies.
