Greek Challenge 2020

Greek Phonathon embraces that rivalry as each fall Greek actives call their alumni to visit, provide updates, raise money for scholarships and other initiatives at Doane, all the while competing for prize money for their organizations.

While the calling portion of the phonathon will remain, we're adding an online component and creating "Greek Challenge," a social media style campaign, to help the students reach more alumni.

Each Greek organization is challenged to engage with and receive gifts from 15% of their alumni base.* There will be prizes for the most money raised, largest percentage of base participating, most alumni contacted via phone, and most gifts made on the platform. Prizes are as follows:

$400 - largest amount raised

$300 - largest percentage of base participating

$150 - most alumni contacted

$150 - most gifts made online

*Each group's alumni base was calculated based on the current email and phone contact information we have for alumni.
