Ours are 275 for the first semester that you join. Then you have a choice for every semester after that: 600 up front for the whole year or 325 payed at the beginning of each semester

My chapter's dues changed again.

Starting Fall 2010:

New Members: $275 up front for the first semester, $300 from every semester after (parlor fee added after first full year of membership)
Older Members: $300 per semester with a $25 parlor fee

pshx: So your new mems pay their lifetime fee the first semester but no regular dues until the next?

Right. It's just to ensure that we don't lose any money on them. Initially, we were going to make them pay $350 up front, but we don't want to scare them off or have them defect because of high dues.

That's sound thinking. I would like for us to be able to do something like that, unfortunately we make them pay

the $275 lifetime fee
$40 their first month-goes to Greek Life as registration fee
Dues are $80/month August-May and $50/month for June and July

A nice total of $1215 for your first year :(

It's always the $315 up front that causes problems-guys usually feel overwhelmed by the number...The other campus fraternities either charge a small pledge fee $50-$80 or nothing at all.

No one ever said being different was easy!
