Siob--
One pearl that one of my chapters did (COA, Southern NJ and Eastern PA) is to sponsor a little girls sports (soccer) team. They had so much fun. The women would go to their games and cheer for them and had fundraisers to buy them jerseys and what not. At the end, they had this big spaghetti dinner with the parents and kids and gave out awards. It was a blast and a lot of fun for the women and the girls.
Another chapter holds a faculty dinner for any faculty member that a sister wants to invite. Usually, each sister will invite like 2 professors, so it's about 100 professors, and they do this big pasta dinner for them in appreciation. It's always a HUGE success and it's a good scholarship pearl.
Finally, you can always do Deepher Dude, although national hates the title. It's a male beauty pageant with talent, swimsuit and interview, just like Miss America or something. Each candidate pays an entry fee (usually a guy from each fraternity, and then other student organizations will enter someone as well). They go to local businesses for donated prizes, and it's usually a big money maker. They then donate all the proceeds to Cystic Fibrosis.
So there's my .02!
YITS,
Heather
