Love-grams for Valentines day
take orders in advance, on V-day deliver a card & candy or card & single rose to each person's dorm room. A lot of times people will order these not only for their SO, but for friends. you can make a decent amount of $$ as long as you buy the cards and candy in bulk AND charge a fair price. No one will pay $10 for this, i think 3 or 5 max.

In some states, you can go to jail for holding an illegal lottery (at least, that's the case in Oklahoma).

That's not legal advice, that's just the word on the street.

I hear that if you sell them something (e.g. a piece of candy) and they also get a raffle ticket, it's fine. They got something for their money - who's to say they wouldn't have paid $1 for a dum dum?

My high school did that. Sold 25 dollar calendars... and a complementary raffle ticket

we do a raffle every spring, where we go around to area businesses and ask for donations (discounts on restaurants, gift certificates... we even got a harmonica from the music store lol but just ask for anythingggg) and then we do a raffle using the prizes and sell tickets i think for like 1 dollar or 5 for an arms length and sat in our student union and went around to professors, and other greek chapters. we used it for our philanthropy, the american cancer society... the first time we did it- we got crappy prizes and didn't raise much but the last few years have been successful, so don't get discouraged

another thing we do is we sponsor the homecoming king- and we ask guys to participate (its a big deal to do so) and they go around and collect change for the american cancer society and the guy that raises the most is crowned homecoming king...

we also threw parties lol but with 6 sisters thats kind of hard to do....

good luck!!! pm me if you have questions

Seems this member is gone?

But for others, ASA does a teeter totter thon!

We do a Hot Tub a Thon with a fellow Sorority on the lawn in the winter at the house.

Steam is coming off and takes great pics!

Gather either money, canned goods, and get some freebies like the hot tub and food!

Have a sheet of plywood to put names on!

So, get print and TV and Radio media to help, it is news worthy!

A Local Charity is greast and they will push it too!

I've seen fundraisers where the campus community can "rent" a sister - to run errands, wash cars, clean houses, etc.

If there are any theme parks nearby, you can work concessions (same thing for athletic events & concert venues).

hey!! well another idea that we just used and we were able to get all the money profit from it was a yard sale you guys can get somewhere busy and have the girls look around their house for stuff they dont need...

What about sponsored events - it's surprising if you have a few hundred people that all raise $5-10 or more how much you can end up with. We did this as an annual event and raise thousands.

How about auctioning off or doing a garage sale of all those unwanted items - text books, gifts, electrical goods, clothes, etc ?
