A friend told me about this one:
The Dallas Alumnae club of Chi Omega has a Christmas market, that is huge. It used to be at the Convention Center and last year moved to Fair Park http://www.chiomegaxmas.org/

I suspect other alumnae clubs across the country have similar kinds of events. I'd love to compile a list. I was able to attend Christmas Village in Nashville a few years ago and it was an incredible event. I also had the opportunity to meet the woman who was the Alumnae Club President when the event began.

Delta Delta Delta Alumnae

Tri Delta alumnae across the country have fundraisers. These four are the largest and financially successful events that I recall.

Sleighbell Luncheon--This event began in 1947 and has raised millions for pediatric oncology research at Children's Hospital of Los Angeles. It involves both alumnae and to a lesser extent collegiate chapters in the greater Los Angeles area.

Eve of Janus--Nashville Alumnae of Tri Delta have sponsored this fundraiser for many years. It benefits the pediatric oncology clinic at Vanderbilt.

Cookies and Castles--Texas alumnae in the Dallas/Fort Worth area hold this event which involves the collegiate chapters as well as alumnae. Decorating gingerbread "castles" is the theme.

Care Affair-Atlanta alumnae sponsor one of the largest Tri Delta fundraisers. In 2013 $90,000 was raised for CURE to support efforts to cure childhood cancers. The event includes a celebrity auctioneer, silent auction, elegant dinner and dancing. An additional $10,000 was raised for the Delta Delta Delta Foundation. This year bidders were able to bid online as well as at the Care Affair.
