I think that's a matter of the individual chapters and comparing themselves to the local groups on campus. Now, we don't have a big formal rush period. It's open bidding all the time for us. When we offer a bid, we know the guy pretty well already.

For us, the finances come up when we offer the bid unless they ask before that -- which they do most of the time.

If someone is sold on your group already, dropping the bomb on them of a big fee could be disheartening. If they're thinking "I'm joining!" and have $100 in their head for some reason, finding out it's $400 would be an issue. We have a 6-week associate member program so I encourage the PNMs to bank $50 a week with the Treasurer.

Here we have Kappa Sigma, TKE, Triangle and Phi Sigma Kappa.

I know we're higher than Kappa Sig, I think we're comparable with TKE. No idea about Triangle.

And for NPHC groups, they tend to work on their own outside the NIC/IFC/NPC system. I have no idea what they charge, but I think there's 6 or 7 groups on campus.
