Their dues and insurance did go up significantly which sucks, but they are now considered probobly one of the top FIJI chapters in the country. Their dues are pretty damn high though, almost double what everyone else here on campus is, even the top tier fraternities.
Comment and question (probably retorical)

The insurance and dues thing is one that is very hard to get undergrad membership to focus on. The rates for a large local would have to be astronomical -- with that reflected in the dues which seems to be true in the case you mention.

I would think that Phi Gamma Delta would have a copyright (or would it be a service mark?) on the "word" FIJI. I wonder how the breakaway chapter gets away with using it.
