How are room charges, meal rates, and house and parlor fees set?
Room charge – The room charge for all fraternity and sorority members is set by the University and it is the same amount for all residents of our Greek housing system, with the exception of Theta Chi who sets their own room charges as the owner of the building. All fraternities and sororities as well as the residence halls are now included in a common residential financial system. The University projects the costs for the following services to determine the room charges: building maintenance, custodial services, utilities, insurance related to Lehigh’s role as landlord (not to be confused with chapter or individual renter’s insurance), trash removal, cable television, exterminator services, etc.
