Like any national organization, there are bills to pay and cost to membership. When your son or daughter becomes a new member, there is usually a fee paid to the national headquarters. There are also monthly or semesterly dues, depending on the chapter. When it is time to become a full member, there is usually a one-time fee to be paid to the national headquarters that covers the cost of their badge, certificate and certain other items. These fees go to keep the house and national organization running.
