That's a good point, actually. At many schools, PNMs wishing to go through NPC recruitment must pay a registration fee, and that can cause people to balk - "why should I pay $10/$50/$100/etc. to go through recruitment when I have no guarantee of walking out of it with a bid?"
The fees pay for T-shirts, snacks, maybe meals, and maybe room and board during recruitment week. The late fee is there to motivate PNMs to sign up early, though a $50 late fee seems a little steep... what's the standard registration fee?
Of course, if you're a PNM balking at the idea of paying $10 or $50 or whatever to participate in recruitment... wait until you pledge and get your first bill.
