Should seniors not have to pay dues that go towards the Recruitment budget because they won't be there? Should chapter members not have to pay dues that go towards room reservations if they can't normally attend our chapter meetings?
All I can say is that our social dues were structured completely differently and had NOTHING WHATSOEVER to do with our formal. Our social dues were for mixers which we were required to attend. You were not required to attend formal.

Why wouldn't seniors be at Recruitment???

And what Little E described is pretty much my feelings also. I mean, whatever works for you fine...if that's the norm on your campus and none of the girls have a problem with prepaying and formal being included in dues that's great, I'm just stating that NWIH would that have worked with my chapter.
