I just know that if we had said formal price was "built in" to our dues, and they were higher than other campus chapters as a result, we would have had some very angry members. Maybe this works at a campus where everyone has lots of money, but for us it would have been a disaster and very divisive.
This goes back to what theta4life posted. "Be sure you look into all the costs and ask the right questions."

Regardless of the 'wealth' of the campus, a PNM should know what their dues (costs) go toward as well as any other potential costs down the line. And then they may make up their minds accordingly.
