Just to add on to that:

A house isn't always something that has to happen right away either. If the campus culture has been supportive of a local, it'll probably support a non-housed NPC until they can managed to get a house. I believe the OP said that other chapters on her campus are housed.

I'm not sure the implication of PhiRhoSister's comment about "reasonable national dues and fees." Are you implying that NPC chapters don't have these?

The most expensive part of a chapter is the house (if there is one) and in every situation I've seen living in the house is cheaper than living on campus.
