A trivia night might work, too.

A few years ago I saw an article in the Angelos about a really cool Shamrock project that Mizzou did: a paintball tournament.

Beta Gamma used to do a road block/shake the can collection for Shamrock Project. They tried to do a bridal show one year, but it didn't go that well.

I've also seen people have some success with a spaghetti dinner or taco dinner. My pledge class did an all-you-can eat taco dinner for a fundraiser on a Sunday afternoon. People could eat in at the house or order carry out. It was a huge success. We had to run out for more ingredients twice. We had lots of fraternity guys who came over for dinner. Our dining room was full. (That was a very long time ago, though.) You could also do a fish fry if its during Lent.

A Mardi Gras masquerade ball might be really cool.

Thurtene is an organization at Washington University that holds an annual charity carnival. It's a huge event, though.
