Designated Driver Program Fundraiser

Statistically, there is really only one way that a fraternity brother will die – and that is being killed in a drunk-driving accident. Your fraternity has the responsibility to protect the brotherhood from their own stupidity. Therefore, a DD program should be established.

Establish a schedule during the pledge period where a pledge will be on call every Thursday, Friday and Saturday of the semester. The pledge is responsible for being on call from 10 to 3 to make sure every brother who needs a ride home gets one. The pledges will obviously spread the days so the pain is evenly distributed.

There should be a surcharge for each brother of $20 a semester to pay for this service. That money should go towards the pledge dues – and should help to eliminate pledge dues.

This is a great deal for the brotherhood because they know they will always have a ride home, and it will be significantly cheaper than getting a cab or walking home. And it is a great exercise for the pledge class, because they will get to experience what it is like to take care of the brotherhood.
