As a Panhellenic woman currently at UF, I can tell you that (my chapter at least) does not have a live in requirement and that it IS true that many chapters' dues go down each semester and eventually plateau.
But how? WHY??? It just doesn't make sense. It's also really unfair to anyone who doesn't join as a 1st semester freshman.
