Wow I feel like I am getting off scott free with my dues!! We only cost $485 your new member semester and that is b/c we get most of our costs out of the way. after that it only costs $190 a semester and b/c we have what is called lifetime membership alumnae dues which we pay off while in school so once we are out we don't EVER have to pay again

Right now, our sister dues per semester is $130. In the fall, sisters pay more because of International fees. The NM pay $60 right now to the chapter and the rest of the $271.30 goes to International. It's the badge fee, initiation fee, and other fees that we pay.

Mid 1980's at UT , our monthly social dues started at $150 per month in 1984 by 1987 when I left they had gone up to $175 per month. Board was $145 per month for 9 meals per week in 1984, $160 in 1987. Rent in a 2 double/room was $100 per month in 1984, $125 per month in 1987. We set our room & board low because we wanted to fill our house. We had room to sleep 48 but even in 1984-85 when the chapter had 85 members only 38-40 lived in the house. Srs. in the house had first choice to get a single room.

I'm pretty sure our dues are 315 for new members, 285 for actives during fall to pay national fees and 185 for spring. ( I may have switched national and new member fees...) We don't have a house or an office, or a chapter room or ANYTHING like that we have to pay for so that saves us some money.

Our dues were not all that high.

My local sorority's dues were (I think) $100 for the pledge semester (which included the cost of the pledge ring and badge), $50 for each semester after that.

When we joined AEPhi, we had to pay national dues, initiation fee, badge fee, and we had to raise our local dues - I think I paid around $350 that semester, all told. (This is not bad for a first semester, but we all got sticker shock when our dues increased 700%

)

After that, it settled out to about $175-200 per semester for actives.

My chapter does not have a house, and for certain events (formals) the chapter subsidized the cost, but only partially - all of which helped keep our dues low.

When I was in school (1997-2001), national fees to APO were only $12 per person per school year. Pledge dues to nationals were $5 per person at the begining of the pledging period. Each chapter could charge a reasonable amount to members to keep finances going (Tau Alpha charged $60 per year per person, national fees came out of that).
