Inactive members Dues

[lucgreek]

Honestly, If I never knew how much dues were exactly without a broken down budget I probably wouldn't pay either. Especially since it seems like there are no real programs/events for brothers who are already initiated. What's the point of paying once you're initiated if the money only goes to pledge events?

If I didn't see a broken down budget and voted on one each year, I wouldn't pay. Someone could easily be pocketing any extra money and inflating prices.

Very good point. The budget and the amount of dues per member should be voted on every year.

I thought i was the only person that thought this!

It seems that the only reason one has to pay dues is for intake purposes. These "perks" that you think are lacking, IMO, would be events, workshops, etc that are meant specifically for members to participate in. I love doing intake for my org but if that honestly was ALL we did, i wouldnt pay dues either. On this logic, it is completely understandable how by senior year you could lose interest in being financial and what have you.

Of course i could be reading this wrong but on the surface that is how im taking it.
