Delta Iota's (at Baldwin-Wallace College) big annual fundraiser is the annual Pancake breakfast. We ask a church on campus to let us use their facilities on a Sunday. We get donations from the batter, to forks and knives, to sausage... pretty much everything. Then we sell tickets to everyone we know- alot of our families can come b/c alot of us live close to the college. Then we make pancakes for hours upon hours. It's a good time- funny to see which sisters can cook lol.
We did Trick or Treat in the area where we went out on Halloween and collected donations from the locals. We also do Spring King and Queen where it's a coin war to see who wins from which campus org. There's more, but I can't remember them lol- TOO MANY!
And of course we make greeting cards and such for Rainbows Babies and Children's hospital- our CMN hospital in the are. We've had trouble getting down there to volunteer this past semester, but hopefully it will work better this upcoming one. We also go down to Ronald McDonald House and do some work around the house for them also. I keep my sisters busy!
Our philanthropy is really strong in our chapter- the phil. director before me was AMAZING- it's been hard living up to her accomplishments. But I think having such a strong Philanthropy program will help to bring the sisters together. Even if you start with just doing greeting cards every month for you CMN hospital, you're not only doing something for the kids, you're strengthen your sisterhood. (Spoken like a true Philanthropy Director lol)
