Alumni Costs?
 

Do alumni pay dues? If so, approximately how much? :confused:

My fraternity does not have alumni dues.

Each alumnae chapter sets its own dues above the National Per Capita (less than $20/member). The average SK alumnae annual dues is around $35-40.

We have voluntary alumnae dues for the Fraternity of $30.00 and my particular alumnae club charges $20.00 for the year (although we are in agreement that we need to increase that amount, probably to $30.00).

DGs Alumnae dues (nationally) are $17.50. The Akron Alumnae chapter dues I think are around $20-25.

We have voluntary "remember" (re-member) dues that start at $25 for the year in ADPi.

Alumnae Association dues are completely different, and depend on where you are. My AA (San Diego) have chapter dues of $20 per year.

The Alumnae dues to my closest Alumnae organization is $10 one-time fee & $25 a year after that.

My alum chapter dues are around $40.
My mother's alum chapter dues are $50.

We have no alumni dues. Phi Psi's undergraduate initiation fee includes a lifetime subscription to our magazine, and a badge.

If no dues are collected, how do you pay for alumni events like golf outings?

Rudey, what is the question???

Are you talking about Dues or Alum Events???

In our alum. association, we all pay for our own stuff. If we go out to dinner, we all pay for our own meal, etc. My alum. association has dues, I think they're $35 for the year (for an active member), and I think only $15 of that goes to Nationals. Another $10 or $15 goes to our local philanthropy project, and the rest goes to the association for incidental costs.

Are you wanting to have your alum. assoc. pay for everyone's activities?

I don't want anything. I was just curious to see how theirs worked.

The national dues are $10/person (though I think that's being raised to $15).

Our alumnae association charges an extra $15 above that, so the dues paid to us are $25 ($10 of which gets sent into HQ, the leftover $15 is ours).

The only event in which alumnae need to provide extra out-of-pocket payment is our Founder's Day Dinner which is usually at a local country club. Otherwise, all other costs are pretty much covered by dues paid.

Whether a member is part of an alumnae association or not, she is supposed to pay her $10 to HQ.

Alumnae dues are $10 per year or $250 for lifetime dues.

As far as alumnae events go, we each pay our own way.

ETA: Those dues go to National. We have yet to determine local dues.

Our alumni chapter is going to begin charging dues. Quite a bit higher than what many of y'all are talking about. We're wanting to be able to fund lots of things to make the active chapter a stronger organization. I figure that it's damned near impossible to repay my chapter for what it's given me.

Ditto to what my sister said. My alumnae chapter dues are modified based on where you live. Sisters who live on Oahu pay $30, whereas Delta Sigmas and other sisters who live off-island pay $15. Like our collegiate chapters, dues go toward functions and special events & the newsletter.

All Phi Mu alumnae chapters set their own dues. There is a portion of that which goes to National but the other portion is set by the individual chapter. My chapter's dues are $35 per year.
We also have Chapter Associations which support whichever collegiate chapter you are from and those dues vary from association to association. My association has voluntary dues of $25 per year to help cover the cost of reunions, newsletters etc.

TBS national alumni dues are $30 annual or a one-time Lifetime flat $250. The individual districts and local alumni chapters have their own set prices on top of that (it's $25 for mine, $20 if you're a life member).

Since I work predominantly with the undergrad active chapter, I pay the same dues as the undergraduates (for us it's $80 per semester) because I know I'll be participating in some of the social events, and it's only fair that I'm paying my part into the fund to sponsor them. It's a voluntary thing, but I felt it was the right thing to do based on my current activity level with the chapter.
