CHARITY EVENT--HOT-tUB-A-THON

[LCA_SK481]

Hey all,
I would also be interested in some info on this. Sounds like a great idea. You can contact me at jjwilson@usa.com

Will try to cover this as best as I can!

Find a spa place that will donate a portable hot tub. Place it on your lawn in front of house!

Contact the local media, paper and TV to let them know when the event is along with the Charity and Soroity you are sponsering. Make sure they will post something before hand and will be there during the event!

Have a big board near the tub so you can list all of the people who donated what and as they come by and donate $ or canned food put the name on the board for all driving by and or stopping. A sheet of plywood and paper.

Pick a worthwhile Charity so people will know it is worthwhile!

You can get a lot of great PR and meet some ladys and it does not cost much!

If someone else does it throw a little different twist on it. Do when cool as the steam rising looks great.

So far, after talking with Brother Jacob Lee, U R I he was the second and had a great time and it looks like we now have 4 Zetas involved!

Good Luck and keep us all updated!

Just found this site and I had to jump in on this thread.

I am also from Ohio U - alumni since 1996. One of my associate class brothers started Hottubbing at OU back in 1992 when he was Epsilon. His original theme was "Hottubbing for the Homeless", and we raised money for a local homeless shelter. As the years went on, the event grew in popularity, and I'm really glad to see that our guys continue the tradition of hosting the best Greek philanthropy on OU's campus. I'm sure he will get a kick out of the fact that other chapters are now getting in on the fun.

I almost hate to say this, but the original reason the event was started was because this guy was looking for an excuse to sit in a hottub with sorority women. Luckily, it was so well thought-out that we were able to make it a philanthropic event rather than a "party".

Anyway, the keys to making this a successful event have already been covered. But a bit of advice - you get more "pub" if you do this during the winter (if you're in a cold climate). People check it out out of curiosity - most think you're crazy to sit in a hottub when it's cold out - and that gives you a larger audience from which to solicit donations.

Welcome to the Site! It do get addictive, better than drugs!

Brother Jacob Lee, U R I and I have been pushing this as a cheap way of getting PR and sitting with the Chicks! This year, we will be doing it with the AGD.

I talked to Tom Helmbock about pushing this Fraternity Wide but he said " Well It Should be up to the individual Zetas"!

In My humble Opinion ( NO smart remarks from Jason, Jono or Steve) It is a Cheap way to get Good PR , give to a Charity and sit with Chicks!

I push it every chance I get on talking with a Brother from another Zeta!

DAMN i turn my head for a little while and this thread blows up with relpys!!!!! kick ass

So we're not doing too bad with rush this semester out here in RI. Sent a good amount to New England Conclave in D.C. .. good times. I'm personally going to the IFC/Panhel Conference in Philly (SO LOOK FOR ME IF YOU"RE SENDING PEOPLE THERE!!!!)
And we're blowing up the neiborhood with the food drive!!!

But as far as the Hot-Tub-A-Thon goes, i think we're going to keep it situatied in the Fall semester. That way everyone can have time over the summer to REALLY SET IT UP!!! Saves time, you get the paper work done, you can find a sponcer really easily, cause you have time to do so.

I'm sorry i haven't been active on the list, i'll try to get here more.
But any questions about getting this going in a similtanious manor with other Zetas, let me know (ps my email address has changed!!!)

So i'm here in cold RI, i'll hear from ya'll soon.
