I think it varies quite a bit. Chi-O has the policy that once the initiation fee is paid, you are a member for life. Our alumnae chapters are genrally area-based, and we do have local dues if you want to participate in alumnae outings. Generally, we also keep mailing lists for alumnae of individual chapters for special events like homecoming.

Sigma Gamma Rho also has that rule, but in order to be considered "active" by HQ (and receive member benefits) you must remit alum dues on at least a national and regional level. If you join an alumnae chapter, you must also pay chapter dues. If you pay life member fees, then you would pay chapter dues after that. Our fees are MUCH higher than the one's listed in this thread. Our alumnae chapters are organized geographically, and we mainly participate in community service projects in our particular geographic area, though we also do social/sisterhood events as well.
