Yes. Basically it took a lot of the pressure off us to collect fees by hiring a collections agency. The school would do it for us essentially.
ETA: The one problem that arose is that people still had to pay national dues when they were abroad. Due to the way W&L runs its billing, it couldn't/wouldn't charge sorority fees in terms you were abroad. Actually I think that was just based on their philosophy that you shouldn't pay if you're studying abroad. But Pi Phi requires that you pay national dues even if you go abroad (we excused local fees). So we'd have to get checks for people for national dues before they left to go abroad which could sometimes be a pain because people didn't necessarily expect it.
