As is common today, the "lifetime subscription" will be defined as the annual Fall issue. The other issues are a benefit for dues paid members. We are far from the first group to do this. Nor will we be the last. Every time postage goes up, the costs of the magazine skyrocket as well. The online editions will, of course, be free and available to all.
The numbers are staggering how few alumnae pay the mere $20/year dues and yet that is what pays for the Arrow, the upkeep and running of HQ and all of the other fraternity expenses. This did not come as a surprise to me having heard the financial reports for years.
