Their own housing fund

[magichat]

I have heard of some chapters apportioning a part of their dues into the housing fund every semester to help finance construction. The chapters that I have seen do that though generally acknowledge that it is just a token and that the real financing comes from alums. In order for the chapter to finance construction relying on the way you mentioned, either a large percentage of dues would have to go into the fund or the chapter would be saving for 20 years. I see big problems with both ways.
