Dues
I asked a director of greek life at my U (Ohio State) about dues and this is what she wrote.
The average dues for someone living out of the facility (just paying dues) is $511 per quarter, but a woman living in the facility with dues, room and board, and food pays an average of $1796 per quarter (a number lower than the dorms).
I do see the benefits of living in the house but I'm assuming that you don't get to live in the house right away (or your required by a lease to live in your apartment already) , so 500+ a quarter for someone not living there seems really high...not to mention the extra initiation type fees, which I think are like 200 or 300.
So my question is...when do they ask you to begin paying your dues and initiation fees?
And do these figures scare anyone else? My tuition a quarter is only 1800, so 500 would be a comparably big number.
