Joining: Financial Commitment

Financial commitment to being in a fraternity or sorority is a combination of individual chapter membership costs, plus a Program Fee, plus a Facilities Management Fee.

Membership  

The financial commitment of fraternity or sorority membership varies from chapter to chapter. Your son or daughter should inquire not only about financial obligations, but also tangible issues to fraternity/sorority membership like the chapter’s academic performance and related programs and incentives, community service and philanthropy activities, alumni and career networking, possibilities for living/housing options, and levels of involvement in other campus activities by current members.

Program Fee

The Fraternity Sorority Program Fee provides revenue that assists the Office of Student Affairs/Fraternity Sorority Life and provides funding for leadership and organizational development training, resources for chapters and fraternity/sorority governing bodies, and other responsibilities and objectives of OSA/FSL. > Read More

Facilities Management Fee

The Facilities Management Fee is a fee that some chapters have to help maintain the chapter house. The actual residents of the house pay a market-competitive rent rate to live there, but the house is used by the entire chapter on a regular basis and this relatively small fee provides for everyone in the chapter to help with the responsibility of maintaining a safe, supportive environment for the chapter to have and in which the chapter may hold their formal and informal functions. > Read More
