That's the million dollar question, right there.

A) I wouldn't be "begging" from my friends.
B) The only real thing that I can do that won't require me to have anything to do with my friends is returning cans, which I will probably do, but I still need another activity.

Getting a job wouldn't help the situation. (And I already have a job).

Because the situation doesn't pass the sniff test.

In order to be allowed to join an organization, that organization wants you to plan and execute an event that is meant to funnel money to that organization, but appear as totally unaffiliated with that organization?

Clearly, neither the OP nor her organization are concerned with the moral, ethical, or legal implications of this activity, and she has gotten more than enough feedback, cautions, and ideas to go and do what she believes is right. I don't think anyone is going to change the OP's mind on why this is a bad idea (even if the chapter is making it a requirement when it clearly should not be conducted in this manner), so why is everyone still wasting their breath?

Honestly, because I was (briefly) genuinely concerned that the chapter is taking advantage of the OP.

But then I recalled some of the other threads in which the OP has been given advice.
