Miss Archonette:

You could work with your sponsoring Graduate chapter to execute a Miss Blue Revue Debutante Ball or Talent Show. On a smaller level, hold a raffle, sell candy or candles (if you make the candles yourself, especially scented and with Greek letters, you'll sell out quickly).

A good idea was brought up on a Zeta listserve that your Archonette auxilary could take some basic babysitting course and then babysit at chapter meetings, chapter social events and Sorority State and Regional meetings. That way, Sorors would be able to attend meetings knowing future little Blue and White family were in the good hands of our Archonettes.

Post on the Zeta forum here on greekchat.com and see if Sorors have other ideas as well.

Best, Shelacious

Hello Little Sister of the Finest Zeta Phi Beta Sorority, Inc. My suggestions are to keep it simple and fun.

For the Spring I would like to suggest a bake-a-thon and a balloon-a-gram.
You can actually charge people to enter their pies and other baked goods in the contests award prizes. And you you sell the baked goods too!

Balloons are cheap and the helium tank is fairly inexpensive too. You can create your own messages and sell the balloons at discount in a bunch. Try selling your balloons around an event like a highschool basketball game. Some malls will even allow you to sell your wares at stands for a charitable cause.

One of my favorite summer fundraisers is a good ole fashion car wash. Get the hose, some soap, buckets with lots of sponges and a bunch of signs and you are ready to go! Of course food is always a winner too. Get the grill going and set up the hotdog stand and again you are in BUSINESS. (and don't forget the lemonade and ice tea...perfect for barbecues!)
