This is one of my biggest pet peeves! I HATE when a chapter tries to say "Oh, we only cost $____" but that doesn't include everything that the member is really required to pay for. For some members, that extra $50-$200 or so for a badge makes a big difference. If they are trying to figure out how to pay their first semester (which is advertised as their most expensive), they probably figure if they can just get through the first semester, the rest of the time will be easier to afford.
Good suggestions. Thank you both!
