Inter/National Dues for sororities?

[NutBrnHair]

I think that new member dues and initiation fees are not listed on the National websites since many individual chapters add a sum to the fees they send to the HQ. For instance, the National Initiation fee might be $125, but Beta Omega Chapter (BO, wouldn't that be pretty on a chapter guard!) adds $25 which goes to their budget.

That information would be on the Double Secret part of our website. I can't imagine that we're the only one who does that, and Sunshine Laws don't apply to sororities.

What I would suggest is a breakdown of fees similar to this:

$18,000 New Members Fee
(covers Chapter dues for 2 months, Inititation fee, Parlor fee, Insurance fees, Housing Corporation fees, and Basic Pin [may be upgraded].

$15,000 Members Fee
(covers monthly Chapter dues, Parlor fee, Insurance fees, Housing Corporation fees)

Of course, I'm having fun with the dollar amounts, but I still wouldn't state exactly how much is paid to what. At least, our chapter didn't. And I'm VERY glad that my chapter isn't Beta Omicron!

Our alumnae chapter has a member who is from our Beta Omicron chapter.

I typically am in charge of the program/nametags for Founders Day and I have just taken to always spell out chapter names for this reason. She has never commented on being from the BO chapter (it is across the country from where we are, so it is not really at the forefront of our minds) and I would never be classless enough to bring it up with her.

My org is currently in the Etas with our new colonies. Will have to look up for HO and HI.
