Facilities Mangement Fee

The Facilities Management Fee is assessed to the nonresidential members of fraternities and sororities to support the operational budget for the Chapter House. Though the students are not necessarily residents of the property, the Chapter House is the physical manifestation and visible representation of the Chapter on campus. The house is used by all members formally and informally, and the upkeep of the exterior and common areas of the property is the responsibility of every member of the Chapter. The revenue from this fee supplements the actual operating budget of the house and supports items like cleaning, grounds & maintenance, life safety mechanisms, and liability insurance. The amount of the fee varies from chapter to chapter, depending on what is to be funded by the fee, and is set by the Chapter student leaders and the Alumni House Corporation each year during the budget planning process.

Program Fee

The Fraternity Sorority Program Fee is a fee that was instituted by the Greek Alumni Council in 1982 to provide 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. It appears once a year on the bursar’s bill of every student within the fraternity/sorority system. Returning students will find it on their bill just prior to the fall semester. Students who join the fraternity sorority system during the academic year will find it on their bursar’s bill in the spring, typically on the March billing.

The fee produces revenue to assist the Office of Fraternity /Sorority Affairs and to provide funding for the various greek student governing bodies. The fee enables the Office to carry out these specific objectives:

1. Provide staff support and programmatic material for the Greek governing organizations. These now include the InterFraternity Council, Panhellenic Council, MultiCultural Greek Council (MGC), Greek Alumni Council, House Managers, the Greek Peer Judicial Board, Order of Omega, and the Greek Social Action Committee.

2. Facilitate and sponsor leadership, developmental/educational and social awareness programs, disciplinary actions, and policymaking procedures.
