I had one mission. To get gyros for a friend. We have this great greek foodtruck around the corner and I went for it 21:30 o'clock. I had just been there lunch time once before.

I asked this super nice 50 plus year old greek owner if he was open and he said "I am here obviously..." I orded the dish and we made small talk. He told me about his daugthers and their lifes (3 daughters, a great wife and been married 150 years). He talked about the struggles of his business, about respect of others and about everything in life.

I asked him when I got the gyros (it was a m a z i n g by the way) with the sauce, the bread and the soft drink when his business close because I did not doublechecked it before. He said that "I close at 20:00.

I was confused because I went there one and a half hour after his closing time. He repeted that "I am here" and shrugged. When I tried to pay he refused to take my money. I was fighting for it because I was planning to give him a big tip but he refused.

So summa summarum, I want to give him something as a gift without being weird but I don't know anything about greek coulture. Is there any special candy, special things that I can try to find?

Originally this wasn't supposed to be a whole chapter record management suite or anything more than a tool for my own chapter. I just wanted an easier way to visualize our chapter's lineage and preserve information that kept disappearing every year.

Over time it turned into ChapterLine

The coolest moment so far wasn't getting signups.

It was watching my own chapter use one of the features in our national awards presentation. Seeing something you built become part of telling your chapter's story is a pretty special feeling.

Curious if anyone else's chapter struggles with keeping track of Big/Little history and alumni database or if we're just extremely disorganized?

Hi all,

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

My main concern is that these organizations 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 Greek life fundraisers, and what format are they usually done in?
