I'd have to disagree.
When you buy an apt. you buy a roof over your head and four walls. No social calendar or a group which you are identified (unless apt. buildings are making tshirts now, I dunno....)
You pay a certain amount of $$$ a month to your chapter so that you can participate in social activities. (Obviously you get more out of it but a big chunk of our bill comes from the money we spend on community service/parties/t shirts/housing fees.)
That can be spun negatively or positively, but its the truth. Paying for a living space is much different than paying for a social club.
