How Alpha Sigma Delta Raised $5,182 in Half the Time With FundChamps

"FundChamps made fundraising so much less stressful. We hit our goal in half the time."
— Tracy Maclin, Head of Philanthropy, Alpha Sigma Delta – Theta Chapter

The Challenge

Like many sororities, Alpha Sigma Delta’s Theta Chapter faced the familiar challenge of raising funds for their annual philanthropy events. Traditionally, they relied on bake sales, car washes, or simply asking friends and family for donations.

But as Tracy Maclin, Head of Philanthropy, explained:

"We all know how awkward it can feel to constantly ask people for donations. Plus, these types of fundraisers take so much time and effort to organize. We wanted something fresh that would get people excited — without burning out our members."

The chapter needed a solution that was:

• Easy to manage with busy student schedules
• Fast enough to meet an upcoming deadline
• Engaging for supporters so they didn’t feel like they were just “donating” out of obligation

The FundChamps Solution

When Tracy heard about FundChamps’ online sock fundraising platform, it immediately stood out. Instead of chasing down donors, the chapter could:

• Set up a virtual sock shop instantly
• Sell fun, trendy socks supporters would actually want
• Keep 50% of every sale — one of the highest returns in fundraising
• Avoid handling cash, products, or shipping since FundChamps manages everything

"The setup took us less than 10 minutes. Each sister had her own store link to share, which made it easy to spread the word through text and social media." Tracy recalled.

The Results

Within just 7 days, Alpha Sigma Delta’s Theta Chapter raised $5,182 — well above their original target. Even better, they reached their goal in half the expected time.

Supporters loved the socks, and sisters loved how simple the process was. Instead of long hours organizing in-person events, they could focus on their philanthropy mission and campus activities.

"It felt like the fundraiser ran itself. Once we shared our links, the sales just kept coming in. I even had people texting me that they wanted more socks." Tracy said with a laugh.

Why It Worked

1. Win-Win Fundraising – Supporters felt good about contributing because they got something fun and useful in return.
2. Zero Hassle – No products to handle, no chasing checks, no shipping to manage.
3. High Earnings – Earning up to $8 per pair gave the chapter confidence they’d hit their goal quickly.
4. Social Sharing Power – With every sister promoting her own shop, word spread fast through family, friends, and alumnae networks.

Final Thoughts

For Alpha Sigma Delta, FundChamps wasn’t just another fundraiser, it was a game-changer.

"I can’t imagine going back to the old way. FundChamps made fundraising so much less stressful, and our chapter sisters actually enjoyed the process. We’ll definitely be using it again."
