Maybe we are getting off of the track here.

Initiation dues cover many things that are up front and do net refer to Semester Dues.

The first cost is going to be the highest out of pocket for many reasons.

I think I listed what LXA includes above in a post.

After taht when and after being Initiated, the costs vary and will be more reasonable.

But, I agree, the PNMs should know up front what costs are going to be.

If some find out that they cannot afford it, then why wait until the last minute and say, "Oh, I cannot afford this", when much time and effort has gone into recruitment and this also includes MONEY from the Chapter.

Yes, We are Social Organizations, but it cost money to run said Organizations. Yes, it needs to be run like a business or there would be no need for Officers to run and over see The Organizations.
