Dude, this is shady. I realize that the org is an MCGC org, but I would put money on it that the national organization does not condone the local chapter forcing you to do this. Heck, maybe you could find someone to take the other side of the bet, and use it as your fundraiser!

This is a good point. I can't imagine any national organization, Greek or not, making this requirement and bypassing all the normal channels of fundraising, like having letters on letterhead to show organizations or individual contributors, documentation of 501(c)(3) status, tax forms, etc. Sure, one could say, hey, chill out. It's just a little bit of money. But these national orgs pay a lot for insurance policies and don't want to risk the loss of their nonprofit statuses, either. I would agree that this requirement is likely outside the auspices of nationals. It is a great idea to require fundraising, but it should be for something to benefit the sorority philanthropy, not as a way to pay for dues or chapter operations.
