DUES! Money paid out from your pocket to the Greek Organization.

1. Local dues: Paying for Chapter House or Lodge. Money for recruiting, setting up partys, charity events, insurance, aminities for your lodge or house.etc.

For those not living in our House, we have parlor fees for those who use the House as they do place wear and tear on it just like the people living there!!

2. National dues: Rish Management Insurance being a larg peice of the pie. Office staffing at headquarters, traveling represenatives on paid staff, or expenses for voluntary members visting Chapters in their area.

It is getting harder for young men and women to want to join Greek Organizations because of the economie and rising costs at most schools. There must a strong reason for newies to join and spend that little extra money.

Now look to why you joined or want to and that should answer the above question.
