* Cooking dinner for people on campus. We posted fliers and all got
together in someone's kitchen to cook and then deliver the food to
students who ordered it.
* Bachelor/Bachelorette Auction. We had two enthusiastic (and not
shy!) MC's, a microphone, a "runway," a stereo, and a crowd. The
MC's introduced each volunteer "walker" and told what he/she was
offering to the "date" that bought him/her: a home cooked meal, a
trip to a Cardinals game, a massage, whatever. When I was Treasurer
a few semesters ago, we made well over $800 on this.
* Pizza Eating Contest! Again, we decorated the campus with fliers,
then charged students an admission fee (we held the contest in the
Student Union in the middle of the day) and had a judge with a stop
watch and someone checking to make sure that all of the pizza was
swallowed. Dominoes donated all of the pizzas!

Well, at Drexel University, our Campus Activities Board runs movies usually
every Friday and so well, before this year, when they said we couldn't do
it any more, we sold popcorn, candy, and soda at the door. The University
recently kicked in because CAB wasn't getting enough profits so they have
seul monopoly of it. I don't know the politics of your school, but I'd
probably ask whoever's in charge...CAB :) Other than that, the only thing
that Zeta Theta(Drexel) really does is that we hold parties for Holloween
and Valentines day and charge at the door for them. I hope that helped :)

One of the best and most entertaining projects we did was a
marriage booth complete with certificate, fake chapel and free condoms
along with safe sex pamphlets. We did it for valentines day and was
vbery successful. The following day we had a divorce booth of the same
nature.
