Hi all,

I'm currently interning for a major local nonprofit, and we are currently looking into partnerships with mainly social frats to help fundraise for our nonprofit.

My main concern is that these frats are obligated to send 100% of their philanthropy money to their national foundation or national charity. Is this the case? If not, would it then be possible for us to achieve this fundraising goal?

Additionally, how large are your fundraisers, and what format are they usually done in?

Hi all, for some context I am currently a freshman at the University of Maryland, College Park. I am currently a Finance and Information System double degree, and a Philosophy minor. Looking into Corporate/Commercial Banking, Credit Research, and FP&A roles specifically, with the possibility of consulting.

I recently realized that it could technically be possible for me to add a Econ major on top everything, as I came in with a lot of transfer credit (nearing a associates). The additional Econ major would require me to possibly take 1 or 2 classes if I were to take the traditional 15 credits a semester. If I didn't take this Econ major, I would have 4 semesters where I could take 12 credits and still graduate on time.

My main question is whether the additional major worth it in terms of how it would look on my resume + opportunity cost of more recruiting time and doing more extracurriculars like a business fraternity. I do plan on taking 12 credits next semester for more time for recruiting + aforementioned rushing a bfrat.
