How much are your dues at your chapter?

[fumblerooski]

Ours are 275 for the first semester that you join. Then you have a choice for every semester after that: 600 up front for the whole year or 325 payed at the beginning of each semester

My chapter's dues changed again.

Starting Fall 2010:

New Members: $275 up front for the first semester, $300 from every semester after (parlor fee added after first full year of membership)
Older Members: $300 per semester with a $25 parlor fee

pshx: So your new mems pay their lifetime fee the first semester but no regular dues until the next?

[pshsx1]

Right. It's just to ensure that we don't lose any money on them. Initially, we were going to make them pay $350 up front, but we don't want to scare them off or have them defect because of high dues.

[TNK274]

That's sound thinking. I would like for us to be able to do something like that, unfortunately we make them pay

the $275 lifetime fee
$40 their first month-goes to Greek Life as registration fee
Dues are $80/month August-May and $50/month for June and July

A nice total of $1215 for your first year

It's always the $315 up front that causes problems-guys usually feel overwhelmed by the number...The other campus fraternities either charge a small pledge fee $50-$80 or nothing at all.

No one ever said being different was easy!
