Chapter Events as Fundraisers. Because of the support and commitment you and many others offer to Greenville, often the question arises whether fundraising should occur at a Chapter event. Chapter events are not fundraising events. The main purpose of a Chapter event is to reconnect alums with the College. It is our hope that as they learn about Greenville, its changes, needs, and vision for the future, they will be inclined to support it financially when asked through other venues.

Give-aways. Many Chapters like the idea of giving away Greenville memorabilia, T-shirts, posters, etc., at more informal events (i.e. sporting events) as prizes for "Greenville trivia" games. Upon request, the Alumni Office will try to provide inexpensive Greenville items to give away at an event.

Staff Attendance. Whenever possible, an Alumni Office staff member (Alex Schmidt or Heather Caddell) or another staff member from the Office of College Advancement will attend your event. In general, you can expect that a staff member will accompany a faculty member or President Mannoia to a Chapter event.

Chapter Event Checklist. Included in the handbook is a Chapter event checklist to assist you in handling the details for your events. Make several copies for yourself and if you think of anything that needs to be added to the checklist, please let the Alumni Office know.

Many Thanks...
Your service to Greenville is more than just organizing a couple of Chapter events a year. You are communicating to your fellow alums your commitment and support of the character and mission of Greenville College and your desire to see it succeed in years to come. We greatly appreciate your volunteer efforts and we value any input you may have to improve and refine the Chapter program.
