2. "Teaming up" to do philanthropy events.
- Cons: This seems like we'd make less money, as people probably wouldn't submit double the teams/pay double the money. Plus then, who's going to absorb whose events?

It is really easy. You plan your philanthropy events a year in advance, and get them on the calendar for next school the year prior. Officers transition one another, so they execute the event planned by their predecessor, and plan the event that will be executed by the next person elected. Meet as an e-board to select some dates that will work for next year, and get the chapter to vote on it. Submit it to your Panhellenic and they should immediately put it on their master calendar and alert the other orgs of the updated calendar. Ideally, Panhellenic should meet to plan a master calendar before the end of the school year.
Teaming up is a fun way to interact with other greeks and make new friends. Just make sure any money your org submits is submitted through your national HQ's foundation so your chapter gets credit through your organization. You discuss in advance who you want to invite to cohost your event. Rather than being absorbed, it is a 50/50 partnership.
It is dumb to plan things for the same day-- if two orgs have events on the same day, you are cannibalizing one another's efforts anyway and losing participants/money
