I don't see most of these prices as that bad, if you consider what you get for that. With my dues, I get a room, utilities, an open kitchen, plus we have a cook that fixes 9 meals a week. That also includes fees that go to our headquarters. It's about a grand cheaper per year than living in the dorms. One thing I don't get is the high fees for pledges. Most of you are showing that they pay more than the actives for their time as a pledge. Why is that? Our AM's only pay the bare minimum, what goes to HQ. Also, I had to pay for my freshman year myself, but once I moved into the house, it comes out of my school money, since it's all lumped in with rent, and is cheaper than dorms.
