Dues & Billing

Chapter Dues

The recurring fees each member pays to belong to a fraternity or sorority chapter, covering the chapter's operating costs.

Chapter dues are the membership fees collected from each active member, usually once per semester or quarter. They fund the chapter's full budget — national/HQ dues, social and philanthropy budgets, operating costs, and (where applicable) house fees. The per-member amount is typically the chapter's total annual cost divided by the number of dues-paying members.
