As per University Policy and Arkansas State law, student organizations are not to conduct any raffles or drawings as part of their events. A raffle is a form of lottery in which each participant buys a ticket for an article put up as a prize with the winner being determined by random drawing. Raffles may only be conducted by an authorized bingo and raffle organization that must meet certain requirements with regard to tax-exempt status and years in existence, and they must have a permit from the Department of Finance and Administration. In addition to being contrary to university policy, an illegal raffle is a criminal offense.
Door prizes should not be used to circumvent raffle law, i.e. you cannot charge admission to your event and give away a prize to only the paid attendees.

Make sure that any members you have in your organization have joined your organization’s OrgSync page. Many RSO’s have their membership listed as ‘invite only’ or ‘request for approval to join’ but unless you have specific membership requirements it is recommended to switch your join option to ‘open’. If you need help doing this, please click here for step by step directions. Remember, the people module in OrgSync is how your organization’s official membership numbers will be determined. If a student isn’t listed as a member on your page they are not officially a member of your RSO. These membership numbers are examined periodically for determining eligibility for SAFA funds, RSO activity and other things.
