Good Say!
There is NO lump sum! The National Dues are set!
What you do in the House is going to be different! Do you have a Meal plan for one. Usually the House Rent is Cheaper than renting from the School or in town, apartment! If not living in the House, do you have a Parlor Fee? That is for members who do not live in the house but use the House!!! Do they belong to the Meal Plan at the House? Most Meal plans do a Continentaql Breakfast with a dinner Mon/Thur. Some Students go home on the weekends or just decide to eat out or have dates!
It is hard to answer such a broad question such as this, but I think from the many posts, this may give you a better picture! If you rush, all of the facts will be presented!
