Dues question
 

I was on one of the other boards about how much people pay for dues and it made me think about a couple of things. 1. Do all phi mu chapters pay the same and 2. how much of the money that we pay is actually seen by us and not just given to nationals for them to who knows what with???? Please im really curious because for a while now i have been thinking that our money goes to things that maybe it shouldnt be, like maybe there accounting fee that they charge us for. So please everyone let me know what you think.

Without giving too many details...there is a set amount of $$ from your dues that does go to nationals and to other chapter expenses...however, the exact amount of dues varies from chapter to chapter depending on chapter/expenses/needs.

talk to your treasurer. it has been a long time since i have been on exec, but i remember there is a certain breakdown and that there is a form that explains everything. as a first semester sister, there are way more expenses and most of that goes to national. then the first semester of each year, there is an additional fee that goes to national. the national fees are the same for every chapter, but the amount of monthly dues is different for each chapter and depends on whether you have a house, etc.
