Fraternity and Sorority Fundraising Policy

The fundraising options available to FSA Groups depend on whether the organization is utilizing university resources or collaborating on an event with an Undergraduate College Student Organization.

University resources include but are not limited to:

  • Reservations
  • Use of CCC
  • Event Supplies and Equipment
  • Shops @Wilco (flex tables)
  • University ticket program
  • Alumni newsletters sent through University Advancement

Exceptions to Approval:

  1. Regular communication with alumni such as a monthly email/newsletter that includes a donation ask does not need to be approved via a fundraising form.
  2. If a fundraiser is initiated by an alumni group or the chapter’s national organization, it would not fall under the FSA policy.
    • Example: An alumnus of Theta Chi is hosting a fundraiser to raise funds for chapter house improvements.
    • Example: Zeta Phi Beta Sorority, Inc. is hosting a 5k in ÂÒÂ×Ç¿¼é for their national philanthropy and the local chapter is helping fundraise for that event.
