Every year during recruitment at UNA, they do projects for "Philanthropy Night". Having one day of parties devoted to this is a good way to jump start the year of donations to your philanthropy, as well as boost involvement and knowledge about your particular philanthropy, and the other sororities.
One of my favorite projects was called "Lollipots". Our PNMs and members would stuff suckers into little flower pots (into that green styrofoam stuff--pre-cut), and then made encouragement cards to go with them. During the year, the sisters would take these to the nearest RMH for the families staying there to have.
