What is the financial obligation to join a Greek organization?
A.Dues vary widely from chapter to chapter and are typically higher the first semester of joining. As you get to know Greek members on campus, be sure to ask them specific questions related to the financial obligation for their individual organization. Most organizations send a sizable amount of the semesterly dues to their national office to cover insurance. The remaining funds stay with the local chapter to cover operating costs, programming, social functions, and various activities. The typical IFC and PHC organizations will have a “new member” fee, initiation fee, and then semester dues. NPHC organizations often require a larger “up front” bulk payment and then minimal local chapter dues each year.
