Dues

I'm curious what everybody pays for dues at the different chapters. I'm at Xi-Xi at Marquette University and it's $495 for the entire year (~$250/semester). What does everybody else pay?

We always had issues with dues and when I was an undergrad it was 45 pledge fee, 150 initiation fee, 125 per semester with the option to break down semester groups and pay over 3 months.

That is pretty cheap. I don't remember how much ours were, but they were more than $125. Of course, we didn't have an official chapter house, so our dues were probably on the cheaper end of the scale.

we pledged to our brothers when we first formed, that our dues would not rise above 60 a month. we hope to stick to that promise. fundraising and exploiting alumni are the grace-givers!

There is only so much of that you can do though. To set a point and say our dues will never be higher probably shouldn't have been done. You never know how things are going to work out.

it's true-- money can be a bit thin, but if numbers can be kept up and people pay their dues, we should be ok. we want the fraternity to be approachable, and the number 1 reason why people say they don't want to join is because of high dues. we've got the lowest dues of the other organizations on campus, and that seems to be a strong selling point.

besides, a fraternity should never be about the money. we just need to work a little harder on fundraising (which can double as brotherhood events).
