Fundraising Ideas for Sorority Interest Groups

Philanthropic sororities pride themselves on holding charitable events, also called philanthropies, for a charity that their organization sponsors. Usually the sorority holds three or more fundraisers during a semester that involve every member of the sorority. However, if there are groups of girls with similar interests in the sorority, sororities could consider creating interest groups and having each interest group participate in a fundraiser of their own.
  1. Sorority Cookbooks

    • Create a fun and engaging cookbook using recipes from sorority members.

      If your sorority has a group of girls who are interested in cooking and baking, consider creating a sorority cookbook that you can later put up for sale, donating all the profits to your favorite charity. The interest group of women who enjoy cooking will love testing out new recipes and sharing their old favorites. These cookbooks can be sold during Mother's Weekend, if your sorority has one. Otherwise, consider selling them to professors or selling them on campus during the busiest time of the school day.

    Sell Flowers for Breast Cancer

    • Sell beautiful pink roses to raise money for breast cancer awareness.

      If there are a group of girls in your sorority who have a particular interest in breast cancer, either because of personal battles with the disease or family members who have felt the impact of breast cancer, they might be interested in selling pink flowers on campus in honor of those who have struggled. Get a group of your sorority women together on campus and sell flowers to as many people who walk by as possible, giving all the money you make to charity. Don't worry if your sorority is dedicated to another cause besides breast cancer. You can send the funds to whichever charity you support.

    Date Auction

    • At the end of the date auction, some lucky people will get set up on blind dates.

      A date auction is a great way to bring the entire Greek community together for a fun-filled fundraiser event. Invite as many fraternity houses as possible to attend your event. Let them know that you are auctioning off some of your most beautiful and fun women to go on dates with some lucky fraternity men. You'll be surprised at how much money your sorority can earn as guys raise the bid higher and higher for a chance to have a fun date with one of your girls.

    Beauty Pageant for Fraternity Men

    • Let the fraternity boys show off their looks for a good cause.

      At Purdue University, Zeta Tau Alpha holds its successful "Big Man on Campus" event, a beauty pageant for men. Invite as many fraternity houses as possible to nominate one of their men to participate in the beauty pageant. Once you have a lineup of contestants, begin advertising the event around campus and selling tickets to the big event. You will also need to find a venue for the event. Ask at local bars and restaurants and try to find a venue that will let you use the place for free as their way to donate to your charity.
