I went to BSU's greek life website and hit the link to your webpage. Is there someone in your org. who could get some info. up on the page? Do you have a FB page? Those might increase awareness of your fraternity.

I really like your main philanthropy-bringing awareness to the plight of homeless in your town. I see that you do a 72 hour event in the freezing weather. Do you incorporate raising funds for the local shelter or soup kitchen into this event? Have you ever tried to involve other organizations on campus? You could challenge other orgs. (in a nice, friendly way) to a competition. Each org. might be required to pay an entrance fee, and then solicit $ donations from students. Penny jars maybe? Students could bet on which org. would be able to stay out the longest in the elements? Additionally you could make this a week long effort involving as many orgs. as you could get to participate. There might be a contest to see which org. could donate the most canned goods. There could also be a contest for the most creatively stacked canned goods-you could even have a theme.

I was trying to come up with other events that could piggyback off your phil. If your school has a movie theater, or theater performances, or sporting events, you might be able to get the school to allow your fraternity to ask for donations to the sporting event, theater or musical production or movie. For instance, at a certain basketball game, your college would agree that as part of the entrance fee, Omega Phi fraternity would be accepting donations of canned goods or blankets, or socks, gloves and hats. Is there a local TV station? You might try to get some TV coverage.
