There are different types of nonprofit organizations and paying dues is not a tax deductible expense under the Internal Revenue Code. I believe that NPC sororities are 501(c)(7) corporations under the IRC and their chapters are covered by their group exemption. This is why it is so important that our philanthropic donations go through our foundations which are 501(c)(3) corporations under the Internal Revenue Code.
Even if a group is a 501(c)(3), my understanding is that donations would only be tax deductible if you are not receiving a service for the money (i.e., when you pay to go to a benefit you will usually be told that even though your ticket is $275 only $100 is tax deductible b/c the rest goes to pay for the benefit).
