For example, Philly gave us a check for $25,000 to compensate for any added expenses due to it being controlled by unions.
The reason? We are known to drop mucho dollars at our national and regional meetings. In 1988, we spent so much money in San Francisco that they were able to retire their city debt.
The NPHC frats get even deeper discounts from hotels, because of the money they spend in the hotel bars. LOL

For the record 20 years later San Francisco is hundreds of millions of dollars in debt! How do you do that in such short time?
