Thanks!!

Then, you post this:

And you spend the balance of the thread elaborating on your spaghetti plans and not responding to any other suggestions or ideas, which is why I wrote what I did (see the bolded).

The definition of fundraising is: "Raising money for a cause or project", or "The organized activity of raising funds (as for an institution or political cause)."

So fundraising doesn't have to be something that benefits a cause, it can be benefiting a project (in this case, pledging the org) and hosting a pasta dinner would be considered fundraising because it would be raising money for a project, or if you want to stretch it a bit, an institution (the sorority).

Re: last paragraph. You're going to "donate" the money raised to yourself. Let's just be clear on that point.
