             The Triangle Fraternity at the University of Houston started off in January 2006 as an interest group.  One year later, they were initiated as a colony of Triangle Fraternity.  They are currently trying to receive full university recognition and chapter status.  Even though they are a young fraternity, the brothers have already mentored at the Johnson Space Center, and competed in many competitions, some of which raised money for different philanthropies.

            The main idea of a fraternity is right in the word itself – brotherhood.  Having gone through the process over the past year, the brothers knew that becoming a member could be stressful, in many ways, especially when it comes to the wallet.  So what better way to show your new brothers how important they are than to hold a fundraiser to help them pay their initiation fees and transition into brotherhood? 

            They hadn’t really done any fundraising in the past, so they started looking for fundraising ideas on Google and found CampusFundraiser.  Group leader Mike Hedger says that “it seemed like a sure shot for making a significant amount of money with little time required.”    When he brought the idea up to the group, he says that “some were enthusiastic, but others not as much.”  However, the “managers laid out a plan for success and it worked!”  It sure did!  The fraternity earned $1,930 in just three days with the Family and Friends Magazine Fundraiser.  What does Mike say was the key to success?  Simple.   On top of the fact that “the managers laid out a step by step process for having a successful fundraiser,” “the people who were the most excited performed.”
