Actually, there is a lot of confusion around this area - it's not entirely true that a chapter can't fundraise for its own purposes. However, a chapter can only solicit funds from its own members (I assume that includes chapter alumnae), and National Council must approve the fundraising plan. They can also solicit an alumnae association for funds for a particular event (aka, to send members to convention).
However, members can participate in fundraisers held by other entities, such as alumnae associations or corp boards. Real-life examples include attending an auction held by an alum association or working concessions at a football game where the funds go to the corp board. Those funds raised may end up back at the chapter eventually, as when the corp board renovates your house.
The fundraising guidelines are available on the "resources" section of the national site (login required).
