Chapters collect both local and national dues and membership fees from each member. Most groups have a one-time pledge and initiation fee plus semester dues. Fees vary with every chapter, therefore your student should inquire about these fees. In addition to dues is the cost for room and board if the new student decides to reside in the chapter's living quarters. As compared to the on-campus housing, living in Greek houses is often less expensive.
Most chapters have their own kitchen and meal plan.
Members do not live in the chapter house until after their freshman year.
