Who pays for friends?

[XOMichelle]

Here's the way I explain it to people:
Our chapers would do away with fees if we could, but unfortunately, we want to put on programs, have formals, and do things together as a group. So if everyone pitches in $20 for a barbecue, and $20 for composites, and another $5 for bowling.... Suddenly you realize its easier and cheaper to have everyone "chip in" on a regular baisis. Ta-da! Dues are born. You don't buy friends, you buy things to do with your friends, just like you do when you go out.
