Dues & Billing
House Fee (Parlor Fee)
A charge that helps cover the costs of operating and maintaining a chapter house, sometimes billed to all members.
A house fee (or parlor fee) covers the upkeep, utilities, and operating costs of a chapter facility. Members who live in the house typically pay rent separately, while a smaller parlor fee may be charged to out-of-house members for shared spaces and meals. House fees are common in chapters with owned or leased property.
