New Singled Out Philanthropy Event, All ideas and help appreciated!

Hello,

I'm working on cordinating a large scale Singled Out event for my campus. We have the event all planned out, we're just having problems getting people to buy tickets.

We fought to get the event scheduled during Greek Week, but now none of the other groups seem to be stepping up and encouraging their members to come.

We really need to sell more tickets as soon as possible. Yesterday we attacked the campus with fliers and emailed groups, but there doesn't seem to be a large response. We're really worried that we'll have to cancel the event, which we don't want to do.

Does anyone have any ideas for getting people to come (especially the others)?

I think I'm going to email the other sororities' service chairs and we've talked about approaching people at dinner or by dorm storming.

Thank you so much for your help! We really want this event to be a success and right now we're just frustrated with the lack of enthusiasm from the campus.

I don't have any specific hints, but there are a few that may be helpful in these threads and links. Some are specifically date auctions, but they could help with a "singled out" event.


Date auction at U collects thousands for tsunami relief

Fraternity hosts date auction to benefit Big Brothers and Big Sisters

bachelorette auction

Date Auctions -- Yay or Nay?

All GLO's auction?

auctions?



Also do a Google News search for "date auction"

Does Greek Week have a 'winner' at the end? And do the GLOs get participation points? If so, you may want to point out that the points for attending/participation/winning may help a chapter win.

And do y'all have prizes? If there are nice ones - dinner for two at local fancy restaurant (get it donated) - might help as well.
