Does any of your chapters hold any kind of fundraisers in the summer when alot of chapter members are back home? What type of fundraisers do you do?

We always do car washes. A lot of our guys are in town or come in to party or work on summer recruitment stuff on weekends. You just call your local Wally World, invest in some cheap soap, sponges, towels, buckets etc.. They usually have hoses and such (most of us here are probably sick of car washes but they are probably the easiest fund raiser out there).

(also doesn't help to call your favorite alums and let them know to get their car washes)

If you know the right people, plane washes can be EXTREMELY lucrative. Go to a private airport and volunteer your services for 'donations'. I've heard $100-$200 per plane is not completely out of the question.

Last summer, we held a garage sale and made about 300 dollars in like, 4 hours. Also, we had almost all of the sisters donate and only needed about 5 people to be at the actual sale. We also worked at baseball games to raise money. The sisters enjoyed that! We sold a TON of beer and we were allowed to keep our tips! So everyone made about $50 bucks in a couple of hours and we used the money the stadium paid us to purchase visors!

we are having our first ever summer fundraiser. We are gonna have a couple of carwashes. The only thing is, what should we say the money is for? If we say that the money is for Kappa Kappa Gamma, people might be like "you're raising money for yourselves?" kinda deal. Any ideas?

Donate a percentage to your local philanthropy. Put that on your signs, etc.. and if they ask you, it's a fundraiser for KKG with a portion of the proceeds going to (your philanthropy's name here)
