A Greek paraphernalia online store turns chapter dues budgets into recurring chapter revenue. Bear Grips Pro Shops runs the shop with no inventory, no upfront cost, and chapter-controlled margin. Active members, alumni, and family order direct, the chapter receives margin on every order. Here is the chapter treasurer playbook.
The chapter treasurer already handles dues collection, vendor payments, and budget reporting. The Pro Shops store is a natural extension. Margin flows into the chapter bank account, the treasurer reports it on the quarterly chapter budget update.
