$ RMF hike in cost $

I hate that everything below even need be discussed, because I wish none of it was a problem in our happy little Greek World. For my school personally...one fraternity had an issue with it a few years before I came to school, but that is all. That's why it makes me so angry to see the incredible increase in costs for RMF nationwide, unless it's just at my school, but I doubt that considering the utter lack of instances.

I mean, we've won so many awards for RMF at UofL and I believe even through national Sigma Chi HQ's yet we have to devote anoth $4K to it this year! It's absurd!

I assume most of you are either on EC, or at least know what the deal is with your GLO budget, so how much has RMF increased for you? It's so limiting to other engagments...it's just frustrating.

Corey, could you explain some of your Terminology to me?

EC = Executive Council

RMF = Risk Management Foulup?

I'm with you Tom, I don't understand all this either!

33 you pretty much had it, except it's fund rather than foulup

I'm not sure if it's done with each fraternity/sorority, but I know we have to dedicate a certain ammount of cash to Risk Management. and now it's alot, I forgot what it's at, but it's not $4K, it increased $4k!

Corey-RMF doubled for every chapter this summer at LTW. RMF is a sigma chi thing. They had to recalculate everyone's payment and that is based on number of actives and increases more if you have a house. My chapter here at UNF went from paying 6K/yr to 12K/yr. So like every sig chapter we feel your pain...and we don't have a house. Ole Miss now pays 38K/yr in RMF. So we are fairly lucky. I think a good reason why everyone's RMF payments went up is due to the fire at Alpha and Epsilon Zeta(FSU). And other sig houses i can't think of at the moment. We had to raise our dues here as well due to the increase in initiation/pledge fees too. Robby was in my magister class at LTW this summer at BSU so tell him in hoc for me. Hope this cleared it up for you dude.
In Hoc,
