Ideas for raising money/getting sponsorship to build a house our chapter

[trideltlifee]

Aside from Alumni/Family donations, I'm having a hard time thinking about how to raise money for the house. My school doesn't have a greek row and only one greek organization has a house, which they're renting out. I was wondering if anyone has any ideas they can contribute as to how to raise money so we can build a house for our chapter?
Much appreciated, thanks

Before you can even begin thinking about raising money, you need to go through the proper channels. That would start with the chapter approaching Tri Delta national leadership with your ideas. I suggest the chapter president make an informal query to find out the process.

Thanks a lot, that'd be a start

The other thing is, when you bring "sponsorship" into the picture, the sponsors are the ones who are then calling the shots, as they're the ones paying.

I experienced this when my company decided to have vendors "sponsor" part of our sales and educational conference. I would say that a lot of our trip was compromised, due to the sponsors asserting their own agendas and (to a large extent), we were powerless to say no, as they were the ones writing the cheque.

Very true! Hadn't thought of this, thanks! This sounds like a pretty difficult process, anyone have any more suggestions? Really lost as to what to do.
