We have many different ways to donate, but I'm suggesting that CD create something similar to the "1874 Society". Sigma Kappas who donate $18.74 a year (in memory of the year we were founded) are invited in the Society, and with it you get something to put on your member pin and a certificate. You can give in honor of another sister, or you can give for yourself, but it's an easy way for everyone (college-aged and the non-age-specific cash strapped) to give a little to an organization they care about. And lots of little contributions add up to more money to keep CD running.

Now, $4.47 is really little, and $47.47 defeats the purpose, but I've read that people are willing to give under $20, since that is what most ATMs give out. So, maybe $10.47 would be a good midpoint to start out with (especially since this is your 10th year)?

As incentive, contributors could have a button next to their username, or would be given something at Atlanta.

Possible name....Clan of the Chief? Chief Contributors? These Servers Aren't Free Club?

I agree with this and I agree with Collmandoman. A button is great! However, reputation is used for a measure of inspiration to other users (if used correctly IMO). I do not think that reputation should be used as a "bribe." If you want to do that... I guess you can increase the number of bars that you can earn (say 15 or so). Honestly though, I would say leave it like it is.
