Fraternity and Sorority members are responsible for dues to the chapter. These dues are used to pay for community service and philanthropic projects, social events, chapter facility usage (if applicable), parent and alumni events, insurance and national fees, as well as general chapter expenses. Some chapters have all-inclusive dues while others may have a base amount, and members pay additionally for items and experiences of interest. Each chapter operates differently. If you accept an invitation to join, you may be asked to sign a membership and financial responsibilities agreement. You are encouraged to ask questions to seek clarity before joining, to review all agreements carefully and discuss them with your family before making a decision.

These fees are managed by the chapter, not the institution. Some chapters may offer discounts or incentives based on academic performance or seniority. Chapters may offer different payment methods. They may either ask for the bill to be paid at one-time at the beginning of the membership or semester, while others may collect monthly payments. Most chapters will operate members payment through online platforms.

Below is a general breakdown of the estimate of costs and the averages semesterly based on councils.
