Former pledge being bullied by fraternity for money

[DNTKE]

If you have been participating for several weeks, you don't get those perks for free.
If you played, you need to pay up. If you are late to pay, you need to pay a late fee, interest or get ready for Omega Financial to help you remember it for a long, long time.

What everyone else has said!

You owe the money. Sounds like something more than this is going on!

Uh...we already said that. You don't need to rephrase it.

And, what is your point?

Pay your debt and move on with your life.

If you signed an Omega contract, you will be responsible for both your debt AND collection fees. If you ignore Omega, you can be taken to small claims court and trust me when I tell you that you don't want a small claims judgment on your credit report.

The fraternity is being nicer about it than I would be. We generally cut people off if they miss even one payment.

Pay your bill.

I know that right now you can't possibly be seeing this the way many on this site are. I will admit that some of their responses are a bit harsh.

The fact of the matter is that you will need to pay this bill some way or another.
The good thing about this experience is that you will think a little harder about what you want and what is involved in that. Sometimes I wish that sororities and fraternities could have a program that would help pay dues (like schools with scholarship). There are a lot of great people out there that would be great greek members but are put off by the costs which are rarely set in stone.

I do think also that every organization should make sure and inform their members about the costs of being part of such an organization. Luckily, my mother was part of a sorority and said that no matter where I joined that she would pay the dues.

If only our organizations could have such a program.... ( I honestly think that is why so much of society views our groups as elitests who view others as lowly - which just isn't true. )
