This is the essence of my previous post. Interesting to see the turn of events.

Hey--I went back and re-read. I thought you meant you didn't/wouldn't tell people untill its time to pay up, and that would be a def. killer for me.
I just realised what you meant, that you don't just tell the general public, not those who you want to join.

Right.
So instead of appearing to make general statements about other organizations giving out this information, the NPHC members could have just said that some of OUR organizations don't make such info public knowledge.

Thank you. This was exactly what I was saying.

This thread is about whatever organizations divulge that info.

No, not exactly and I don't completely agree with your point.

DSTChaos,
Thanks for the lesson. As a neo, I can jump out there sort of hard.
It's all good...
Just wondering though...do all NPC, IFC, NIC orgs tell the dues and initiation fees right away? Does that affect people's willingness to join...if the fees are expensive?

I think that's a matter of the individual chapters and comparing themselves to the local groups on campus. Now, we don't have a big formal rush period. It's open bidding all the time for us. When we offer a bid, we know the guy pretty well already.
For us, the finances come up when we offer the bid unless they ask before that -- which they do most of the time.
If someone is sold on your group already, dropping the bomb on them of a big fee could be disheartening. If they're thinking "I'm joining!" and have $100 in their head for some reason, finding out it's $400 would be an issue. We have a 6-week associate member program so I encourage the PNMs to bank $50 a week with the Treasurer.
Here we have Kappa Sigma, TKE, Triangle and Phi Sigma Kappa.
I know we're higher than Kappa Sig, I think we're comparable with TKE. No idea about Triangle.

And for NPHC groups, they tend to work on their own outside the NIC/IFC/NPC system. I have no idea what they charge, but I think there's 6 or 7 groups on campus.

So some dont tell the possible New Members what the costs are going to be?
Am I reading this correctly?
If so, that is one of the first questions that PN Members ask. How Much!
With the economics of Today and the esculating costs, each Student has to try to figure out if it is worth them joining!
They at the Frosh point of time dont know what they get out of a Greek Organization in the long run for the future!

For the next academic year, our New Member Fee is $50 and our Initiation Fee is $130 + cost of the badge they choose. That's the portion that goes to IHQ. Individual chapters can tack on chapter expenses (New Member Guides, Operating Expenses, House Association fees, Reserve Fund fees, etc) as approved in their own bylaws. New Initiates also pay an Alumnae Chapter Fee (one time expense) of $26.00.
We want our new members to know the costs ahead of time because if the cost is a problem, then they need to take that into consideration when they join. It doesn't sound like the NPHC's keep this information from people before they begin intake, but they don't make it public either. There's nothing wrong with that.

You ARE NOT reading this correctly. For some organizations, interested people are told in a reasonable time period before intake. The general public is not told.

It obviously all works out in the end, though .
