Hi Ash!
Here are some ideas. Heads-up to all ADPi's: I Spy An ADPi is no longer condoned by Grand Council, due to its negative connotations to terrorism. I know, eye-roll, groan. BUT.... Let's move past our disappointment and come up with something BETTER that really promotes ADPi and RMH is a POSITIVE light!
1) UCF in the past has had 2 really succesful events Flaggin Down the Fun (a co-ed all campus flag football tournament with community sponsors and local media, concurrent with a raffle) and ADPi 8-Ball (a pool tournament for the fraternities)
2) UCLA has done a "Rock A Thon" where sisters sign up for times to be rocking in rocking chairs for RMH, and get sponsors; as well as a penny war (silver coins are bonus points, pennies are negative points.) They have also done an "ADPicnic" where all of the other Greek chapters donate their live-in's dinner money for the night (ab't $5/head) and the girls serve food donated by community patrons, there is also a DJ.
3) You can do your King of the Jungle! Guys love showing off. My university had several such events and we always had great turnout. The trick is to time your events so they don't fall in the same quarter/semester.
4) How about a "Shakedown"-- a dance competition/skit with fraternity and sorority groups entered. "Lip Service" A lipsyncing/skit contest--- another ADPi chapter does an event like MTV's ICON where the chapters are given the name of an artisit (like Janet Jackson) and have to perform a skit and songs Or a Moon bounce--- you raise money with community sponsors (like in a 5K), rent a moonbounce, and have sisters signed up for shifts to bounce in the moonbounce for 48 hours. You can set it up by your student union, have music, food, etc., and attract attention. Another chapter does a Mocktail Competition-- the groups enter and have to create some kind of edible, tasty and creative nonalcoholic drink-- you can have an entry fee, sell shirts/aprons, and sell the recipes in a booket.
5) Get together with your local alumnae association and plan an event together! You can qualify for some great ADPi awards in doing this pairing and you are sharing the work with mature women in the community who might be able to help get big bucks in as community sponsors. Memphis <?> just did a golf tournament that was amazingly successful and both the chapter and association were given an award at convention for it
6) Pair up with a fraternity and have your event sponsor both your organizations-- you will get your sisters out by the drove!
REMEMBER NO MATTER WHAT EVENT YOU CHOOSE, MAKE SURE ALL THE MONEY IS DONATED DIRECTLY TO ADPI FOUNDATION SO YOU GET CREDIT IN YOUR CHAPTER REPORT!!! THE FOUNDATION WILL DONATE THE MONEY TO YOUR CHARITY-- WHETHER IT IS RMH INTERNATIONAL, YOUR LOCAL RMH, ANOTHER GLO'S PHILANTHROPY, ETC.
Good luck!
