sometimes the difference in dues can be what is included in the dues. for instance, the higher dues might include all t-shirts, all parties, retreats, formal and semi-formal, while your chapter might have the members pay separately for those things. that could be a benefit-if you aren't going to attend the formal, you're not paying for it. don't hesitate to ask the treasurer to explain what your dues cover-or you can wait-i'll bet she is scheduled to speak at one of your new member meetings.

Also, a difference in cost may have to do with the NATIONAL fees of the sorority. If Blush's National charges higher National dues, pledging fees, initation fees, etc. than Eyeliner, their overall costs are going to be higher.

Also, what FSUZeta says is true. There were chapters with dues LOWER than ours who had ALOT of social events because they didn't include it in the price and asked girls to pay out of pocket for them.
