some ideas for fundraising.... we do a silent auction each fall...we send letters and call local businesses describing who we are, who and what sigma alpha is about and ask if and what they can donate...we can generate a couple hundred dollars depending on what we have to auction...weekly pizza sales, car washes (those bring in a little but its still something) bake sales we have tried before....steak wagons are great.... take a lot of work and planning, but are great to do...raffles too..
those are just some of the things chi chapter has done in the past and pretty much still do cause they seem to work really welll for us
good luck to you and your chapter in raising money
