## Frequently Asked Questions

**What does 'no chapter fee' mean?**

Neither nationals nor chapters pay costs to use Dueflow– zero platform charges, forever, only your members pay a small convenience fee to cover payment processing costs.

**Who pays the convenience fee?**

Your members pay a small convenience fee to cover payment processing costs.

**How fast can we start?**

The Dueflow team will personally onboard you in 5 minutes.

**How does Dueflow compare to other platforms (Re:members, GreekBill, BillHighway)?**

Dueflow charges $0 to chapters and nationals, offers more payment options (ACH, card, Apple Pay, BNPL), sets up in 5 minutes, and includes built-in analytics and reporting – all without the per-member fees legacy platforms charge.

**Does Dueflow help with 990 filings and IRS group exemption compliance?**

Yes. Chapters prepare their own 990-series returns in Dueflow – workpapers built from their books, CPA review, filing history, and IRS exemption monitoring – and a chapter officer signs and files. National organizations get a compliance dashboard across every chapter plus the tools Rev. Proc. 2026-8 requires of them: a subordinate registry, supervision evidence log, annual compliance education distribution, chapter-reported financials, and SGRI preparation. Dueflow prepares and tracks; it does not transmit returns to the IRS.

**Can we use Dueflow from ChatGPT or Claude?**

Yes. Dueflow runs an MCP server that ChatGPT and Claude connect to directly: add Dueflow as a connector, sign in with your Dueflow account, pick the organization and the permissions, and ask about your roster, payments or reimbursements in plain language. It uses the same scoped, revocable access as the developer API, every request shows in the organization's API activity log, and you can disconnect it from Settings at any time. See dueflow.co/developers.

**What is Dueflow?**

Dueflow (dueflow.co) is chapter management and dues collection software for fraternities, sororities, and other member organizations. Treasurers send dues and payment plans, members pay online by ACH, card, Apple Pay, Google Pay, or Klarna, and the same account handles reimbursements, a merch and event store, budgets, analytics, QuickBooks sync, and a free developer API. Chapters and national organizations pay $0 – the paying member covers the processing fee at checkout.

**Is Dueflow legit, and is our chapter's money safe?**

Yes. Payments run through PCI DSS Level 1 certified payment processors, so card and bank details never pass through Dueflow's servers. Collected dues pay out to the chapter's own connected bank account, every payment and reimbursement has an audit trail, and access is role-based so each officer only sees what their role needs. Security practices are documented at dueflow.co/security.

**Does Dueflow sync with QuickBooks?**

Yes. Dueflow connects to QuickBooks Online and posts each payout as a categorized deposit – dues, store sales, donations, and chapter billing split into the right income accounts, with processing fees as their own expense line so the deposit matches the bank statement. The native sync is for QuickBooks Online; chapters on other accounting software export payments as CSV or Excel. It costs nothing extra. See dueflow.co/quickbooks-integration.

**How does Dueflow compare to OmegaFi, RallyDues, and PayDues?**

Dueflow charges chapters and nationals $0 and includes dues, payment plans, reimbursements, a merch store, analytics, and QuickBooks sync in one account. For each platform we publish a side-by-side comparison built from their published fees and dated sources: dueflow.co/vs/omegafi, dueflow.co/vs/rallydues, and dueflow.co/vs/paydues.

**Is Dueflow just for dues collection?**

No – Dueflow is a complete chapter management platform. It includes dues collection, expense reimbursements with audit trails, a merchandise and event store, AI-powered financial insights, member portals, analytics dashboards, partial payments, accounting exports, and tools for both chapters and national organizations. It replaces 3–4 separate tools.

**Does Dueflow work for sororities?**

Yes. Dueflow is built for all Greek life organizations – fraternities and sororities. The platform handles dues collection, reimbursements, merchandise sales, member management, and financial reporting for any chapter.

**What payment methods does Dueflow support?**

ACH bank transfer, credit and debit cards (Visa, Mastercard, Amex, Discover), Apple Pay, Google Pay, and Klarna buy-now-pay-later. Members can also make partial payments or pay all outstanding dues at once. Treasurers can record manual payments (cash, check, Venmo, Zelle) at no cost.

# Dues software pricing: $0 for chapters and nationals.

> How much does Dueflow cost? Chapters and nationals pay $0 – no per-member fee, no platform fee, no contract. Members pay a small processing fee per payment ($2–$15 on ACH) and the chapter receives 100% of the dues amount.

## Member processing fees

Members pay a small processing fee based on how they choose to pay.
Organizations keep 100% of their dues.

| Dues Amount | ACH | Card | Klarna |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Under $100 | $2 | $5 | 6% |
| $100 – $399 | $10 | $10 + 3.3% | 6% |
| $400+ | $15 | $15 + 3.3% | 6% |

## How Dueflow compares

Legacy platforms charge chapters and nationals per-member fees on top of processing costs. Dueflow doesn't.

| Feature | Dueflow | Legacy Platforms |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Chapter platform fee | $0 forever | $3–25/member/semester |
| Nationals platform fee | $0 forever | $5–15/member/semester |
| Contracts required | No | Often multi-year |
| Setup / implementation fee | $0 | $500–2,000+ |
| Payment methods | ACH, card, Apple Pay, BNPL | ACH + card (limited) |
| Partial payments / payment plans | Yes – pay in parts | Rarely supported |
| Reimbursements included | Yes | Usually separate |
| Store / merch sales | Built-in | Not available |
| Virtual credit cards | Included free | Not available |

## Pricing FAQ: how much does dues software cost?

**How much does dues collection software cost for a fraternity or sorority?**

Published chapter pricing runs from $0 to roughly $3–$25 per member per semester. Dueflow charges chapters $0 (members pay a $2–$15 processing fee per payment). Of the legacy platforms, OmegaFi runs about $3 per member per month and GreekBill about $18 per member per semester (both from chapter invoices, since neither publishes pricing), LegFi $3–$9 per member per month, RallyDues $2 per member per month plus a $30 setup fee, MyGreek $0–$99 per month, and PayDues 0.5–1% of every payment. Nationals-mandated platforms are usually billed to the chapter through HQ.

**How much does Dueflow charge per member?**

$0. Dueflow has no per-member, per-chapter, or platform fee for chapters or nationals. The only cost is a processing fee the member pays at checkout: $2 ACH / $5 card for payments under $100, $10 ACH / $10 + 3.3% card for $100–$399, and $15 ACH / $15 + 3.3% card for $400 and up. A $200 ACH dues payment costs the member $210 and the chapter receives the full $200.

**Does Dueflow have a platform fee, setup fee, or contract?**

No. There is no platform fee, no setup or implementation fee, and no contract – chapters can start free and leave at any time. Treasurers can also record cash, check, Venmo, or Zelle payments at no cost.

**Is Dueflow really free for chapters?**

Yes. Chapters pay $0 – no per-member fees, no contracts, no hidden costs. This is permanent, not a promotional offer.

**Who pays the processing fee?**

The member paying their dues. The fee is added at checkout and clearly shown before payment. Your chapter receives the full dues amount.

**Why is ACH cheaper than card?**

Bank transfers cost less to process than card payments. We pass those savings to your members. ACH is the most popular payment method on Dueflow.

**Can members make partial payments or pay in installments?**

Yes. Dueflow supports partial payments – members can pay what they can now and come back to pay the rest later, at their own pace. For buy-now-pay-later, Klarna lets members split their dues into installments while your chapter receives the full amount immediately.

**Can treasurers record cash or Venmo payments?**

Yes. Treasurers can manually record any payment method (cash, check, Venmo, Zelle) in the dashboard at no cost.

**Do virtual credit cards cost extra?**

No. Virtual credit cards are included free with Dueflow – no monthly fee, no per-card cost, and no Dueflow fee on card spend. Set spend limits per card and every transaction itemizes into your budgets automatically.

# Your chapter's data, in your own systems

> A REST API for the roster, the payments and the reminders you already manage in Dueflow. Bearer tokens you can scope and revoke, an OpenAPI contract you can generate a client from, and no fee for using it.

## What you can build

- **Keep your roster in sync**: Read members and groups, or write them from your system of record. Every list is cursor-paginated and filterable by last change, so a nightly sync only reads what moved.
- **Roll up a whole national**: A national's token can list its chapters and read each roster, so one job can reconcile every chapter. The chapter sees the read in its own activity log.
- **Report on the money**: Payments, reimbursements, payouts, fundraising campaigns, donations and store orders are all readable – feed a warehouse, a dashboard, or your accountant's spreadsheet.
- **Automate the nagging**: Send a payment reminder from your own workflow, with an idempotency key so a retry after a timeout can never text a member twice.

## How access works

- **Tokens, not API keys**: Personal tokens act as you and follow your role – get demoted and the token narrows the same minute. Service tokens belong to the organization, survive officer turnover, and can be rotated with an overlap window so nothing breaks mid-swap. Every token expires, and the secret is shown exactly once.
- **Scopes an admin can see and revoke**: A token grants only what you tick, capped by the holder's role and by any scope the organization has blocked outright. Admins can see every call in the organization's API activity log – who, what and when.
- **No personal contact details**: v1 exposes no phone numbers, no guardian or emergency contacts, and no notes. It's a deliberate limit: a leaked token can't become a leaked contact list.
- **A contract, not a moving target**: The OpenAPI description is generated from the code and checked on every pull request – we can't remove an endpoint, drop a field, or require a new scope without failing our own build. Retirements come with at least 180 days' notice.

## Use it from ChatGPT or Claude

Every endpoint is also a tool on the Dueflow MCP server. Connect it from ChatGPT, Claude or any MCP client and ask about your roster, payments or reimbursements in plain language – you sign in with your Dueflow account and choose the organization and scopes, exactly like creating a token.

MCP server URL: https://api.dueflow.co/mcp

1. **Add the server**: In ChatGPT or Claude, add a custom connector (MCP server) and paste the URL below. Both discover the sign-in flow from the server, so there is nothing else to configure.
2. **Approve the connection**: You are sent to Dueflow to sign in, pick the organization and tick the scopes the assistant may use. Only scopes your role allows – and the organization has not blocked – can be granted.
3. **Manage it like a token**: The connection appears under Settings → API tokens → Connected apps, where you can disconnect it. Every call it makes shows in the organization's API activity log, attributed to you.

Clients that can send a header – Claude Code, Cursor, scripts – skip OAuth and use a personal or service token directly: `Authorization: Bearer dfp_…`.

# Your chapter's money and data, protected.

> Dueflow moves real money for real chapters, so security isn't a feature – it's the baseline. Here's exactly how we protect payments, accounts, and records.

## Card and bank details never touch our servers

Every payment on Dueflow is processed by PCI DSS Level 1 certified payment partners. Card numbers and bank credentials go directly from the payer's browser to the processor – Dueflow's servers never see, store, or transmit them. We keep only what's needed for records: the payment amount, status, and the card's last four digits.

- **PCI DSS Level 1 processing**: Payments run through certified processors that meet the highest level of card-industry security standards.
- **No raw credentials stored**: Our database stores payment metadata only – never card numbers, CVCs, or bank login credentials.
- **Signed webhooks**: Every payment event from our processors is cryptographically signature-verified before we act on it, with constant-time comparison.
- **Funds flow directly to your bank**: Collected dues settle to your chapter's own account. Dueflow never holds or withholds your money.

## Encrypted in transit and at rest

All traffic to Dueflow is encrypted with TLS, enforced with HTTP Strict Transport Security. Your chapter's data is stored in an encrypted database, and every connection between our services is encrypted too. Secrets and credentials are managed in a dedicated secrets vault – never committed to code.

- **TLS everywhere**: Every request to Dueflow travels over encrypted HTTPS, with strict transport security enforced at the edge.
- **Encryption at rest**: Chapter data lives in encrypted storage with our infrastructure providers, including database and file uploads.
- **Vaulted secrets**: API keys and credentials are injected from a managed secrets vault at deploy time and scrubbed from error reports.
- **Safe file uploads**: Receipt and logo uploads require an authenticated session and are type- and size-restricted.

## The right people see the right things

Every account requires a verified email before it can sign in, and sign-in attempts are rate-limited. Inside a chapter, role-based permissions decide who can move money and who can only view. Every query is scoped to your organization – members of one chapter can never see another chapter's data.

- **Role-based permissions**: Admin, editor, and viewer roles per organization, with separate national and chapter access levels.
- **Verified sign-in**: Email verification is required before first sign-in, with Google sign-in and one-time codes supported.
- **Organization-scoped data**: Every record is tied to your organization. Cross-chapter access simply doesn't exist unless your nationals runs oversight.
- **Scoped API tokens**: Developer API tokens are hashed at rest, bound to a single organization, and carry explicit permission scopes.

## Watched continuously, scanned weekly

Errors and anomalies are monitored around the clock with automated alerting, and credentials are redacted from every report. Our codebase runs automated security scans weekly – static analysis for vulnerability patterns plus dependency audits – alongside secret scanning and review checks on every code change.

- **24/7 error monitoring**: Automated monitoring and alerting on every production system, including scheduled-job health checks.
- **Weekly security scans**: Scheduled static analysis (CodeQL) and dependency vulnerability audits run every week against the full codebase.
- **Every change reviewed**: All code ships through pull requests with automated tests, lint gates, API-contract checks, and secret scanning.
- **Audit trails**: Payments, reimbursements, approvals, and webhook events leave timestamped records – including who approved what, and when.

## FAQ

**Does Dueflow store my card or bank account number?**

No. Payment credentials are collected directly by our PCI DSS Level 1 certified payment processors and never pass through Dueflow's servers. We store only payment metadata like the amount, date, status, and the card's last four digits for your records.

**Who at my chapter can see our finances?**

That's up to your chapter. Role-based permissions let you give officers full admin control, give advisors view-only access, and keep members limited to their own payment history in the member portal.

**Can other chapters see our data?**

No. Every record in Dueflow is scoped to your organization. The only cross-chapter visibility is a nationals oversight dashboard, and only when your own national organization runs it.

**What happens if something goes wrong?**

Production systems are monitored around the clock with automated alerting, and the engineering team triages incidents as they surface. If an incident ever affects your chapter's data, we'll notify you promptly with what happened and what we did about it.

**How do I report a security issue?**

Email security@dueflow.co. We read every report, respond quickly, and credit good-faith researchers. Machine-readable details live at dueflow.co/.well-known/security.txt.

## Found a vulnerability?

We work with security researchers acting in good faith. Report vulnerabilities to our security team and we'll acknowledge your report quickly, keep you posted while we fix it, and never pursue legal action for good-faith research.

# The Treasurer Transition Checklist

> Every chapter re-learns the treasurer handoff the hard way. This is the complete checklist for outgoing and incoming treasurers – bank access, records, tax deadlines, and first-semester setup. No signup required.

## Phase 1 – Before the handoff (outgoing treasurer)

The best transitions start before election results are announced. Everything on this list is dramatically easier to do while you still remember why each number is what it is.

- **Reconcile the bank account**: Match every transaction from the semester against your records. Unexplained transactions are your problem to solve – not your successor's mystery to inherit.
- **Close out or document every open reimbursement**: Pay what can be paid, and write down who is still owed what (with receipts attached) for anything that must carry over.
- **Export a full financial report for your term**: Income, spending by category, and outstanding balances. This becomes the baseline your successor budgets against.
- **List every recurring obligation**: Rent, insurance premiums, nationals fees, subscriptions, and their due dates. Missed recurring bills are the most common first-semester surprise.
- **Collect the chapter's tax documents**: The EIN letter, the most recent Form 990 filing (or confirmation the 990-N was submitted), and your fiscal-year end date. Chapters lose tax-exempt status because these live in a graduated member's inbox.
- **Inventory logins and access**: Bank portal, payment platform, email lists, storage drives. Note which accounts are tied to your personal email or phone number – those need real migration, not just a password handoff.

## Phase 2 – The handoff meeting

Do the handoff in one sitting, in person or on a call – not as a semester-long drip of "oh, one more thing" texts.

- **Change the bank signers**: Most banks require both officers (and sometimes an advisor) to visit a branch or submit signed paperwork. Start this early – it routinely takes weeks.
- **Transfer platform ownership**: Add the incoming treasurer as an admin on your payment and finance tools, then downgrade or remove the outgoing account. Verify they can actually log in before you leave the meeting.
- **Walk through the budget line by line**: Not just the numbers – the judgment. Which lines always run over? Which vendors negotiate? What did you budget wrong a year ago?
- **Review every unpaid member balance**: Who owes what, what's on a payment plan, what's realistically collectible, and any balances with history the new treasurer should know before sending a reminder.
- **Hand over the tax folder**: EIN letter, past filings, and the next Form 990 deadline, written down. If the chapter has missed a filing, say so now – it's fixable with two years of runway and a crisis with none.

## Phase 3 – First two weeks (incoming treasurer)

Your first two weeks set the tone for the semester. The goal is simple: verify you have real access to everything, then get billing out early.

- **Verify bank access independently**: Log in yourself, from your own device, and confirm you can see statements and (if applicable) move money. Discovering broken access during an emergency is the worst-case version of this task.
- **Confirm the Form 990 deadline**: It's due the 15th day of the 5th month after your fiscal year ends. Put it in the chapter calendar, not your personal one.
- **Set the semester budget with exec**: Use last semester's actuals – not last semester's budget – as the starting point.
- **Bill dues in the first two weeks**: Collection rates fall the longer you wait. Send dues invoices with a clear deadline, payment plan options, and automated reminders configured from day one.
- **Announce how money works this term**: One message to the chapter: how to pay, how to get reimbursed, who to ask. It prevents a semester of one-off questions.

## Phase 4 – Through the semester

The habits that make the next transition easy are the same ones that make your term easy.

- **Reconcile monthly, not at finals**: Thirty minutes a month keeps the books honest. Five hours during finals week doesn't.
- **Report to exec on a schedule**: A short monthly financial update builds trust and surfaces problems while they're small.
- **Escalate overdue balances deliberately**: Reminder → payment plan → conversation, on a written timeline. Consistency is what makes it fair.
- **Keep the transition doc alive**: Every time you learn something the hard way, add it to the doc you'll hand your successor. The checklist you're reading exists because most chapters don't.

# Chapter Dues Collection Benchmarks (Fall 2026 update)

> Aggregate, anonymized data from every dues charge issued on Dueflow between December 2, 2025 and September 8, 2026, refreshed for the fall 2026 dues cycle.

[Read the full research page](https://www.dueflow.co/research/dues-collection-benchmarks)

The median dues charge on Dueflow is paid 12.6 days after it is issued. Only 37.9% of charges are paid on or before their due date, and members who pay late are a median 7 days late. 68.9% of all dues charges issued have been collected in full. Members split evenly between ACH bank transfer (50.4%) and card (48.3%). Charges with an early-bird discount are paid on time 58.8% of the time versus 37.9% overall, while charges carrying a late fee are paid on time only 31.8% of the time. Across 3,772 dues charges from 41 chapters, charges with at least one automated reminder were paid at 70.8% versus 19.4% with none. A September 22, 2026 addendum adds payment-plan and off-platform figures: 1.9% of fully paid dues charges were settled in two or more installments, and 10.7% of recorded dues payments were logged by the treasurer as Zelle, Venmo, check, or cash rather than paid online.

## Headline numbers

- **12.6 days** – median time from dues charge to payment
- **37.9%** – of dues charges are paid on or before their due date
- **68.9%** – of all dues charges issued have been collected in full
- **50.4%** – of payments use ACH bank transfer rather than a card

## How quickly dues charges get paid

- Same day: 8.5%
- Within 3 days: 14.1%
- Within 7 days: 29.8%
- Within 14 days: 56.5%
- Within 30 days: 83%

## How members choose to pay

- ACH bank transfer: 50.4%
- Credit or debit card: 48.3%
- Klarna (buy now, pay later): 1.2%
- Other bank rails: 0.1%

## What the data says

### How long do members take to pay dues?

The median chapter member pays a dues charge 12.6 days after it is issued, and the mean is 21.4 days. Across 2,598 paid charges, 29.8% were settled within a week, 56.5% within two weeks, and 83.0% within 30 days; 17.0% took longer than a month. A treasurer who budgets on dues arriving in the first week is budgeting against less than a third of the roster.

### What percentage of fraternity and sorority dues are paid on time?

37.9% of dues charges are paid on or before their due date. Of 2,210 charges whose due date has already passed, 838 were paid on time, 1,039 were paid late, and 333 are still unpaid. Among the charges that were eventually paid, 55.4% came in after the deadline, and the median late payment arrived 7 days after the due date. Late payment is the normal case in Greek life finance, not the exception.

### Do late fees make members pay dues on time?

Not in this data. Charges that carried a late-fee deadline were paid on time 31.8% of the time (102 of 321 past-due charges) versus 39.0% for charges with no late fee, and were eventually collected at 76.0% versus 86.4%. This is a correlation from live usage, not a controlled test – chapters may attach late fees to the charges they already expect to be hard to collect – but there is no evidence here that a late fee by itself speeds up payment.

### Do early-bird discounts make members pay dues faster?

Yes, and by a wide margin. Of 148 past-due charges that offered an early-bird discount, 31.8% were paid before the early deadline and 58.8% were paid on or before the final due date, compared with 37.9% on-time payment across all charges. Early-bird pricing is the only deadline structure in the data that correlates with more on-time payment.

### Do members prefer to pay dues by card or by bank transfer?

It is an even split. Of 2,138 paid charges with a recorded payment method, 50.4% were ACH bank transfers, 48.3% were credit or debit cards, 1.2% used Klarna buy-now-pay-later, and 0.1% used other bank rails. A collection process that only accepts cards, or only accepts a peer-to-peer app, is turning away half of the roster's preferred way to pay.

### Do automated dues reminders actually work?

Charges with at least one automated reminder were paid at 70.8% (2,570 of 3,628), versus 19.4% (28 of 144) for charges that sent no reminder. 96.2% of dues charges on Dueflow have reminders enabled, so the no-reminder group is small and unusual, and this is observational rather than experimental. The direction is consistent with the December 2025 – August 2026 snapshot (65.0% versus 11.3%) and the gap is large.

### How is the fall 2026 dues cycle going so far?

Between August 1 and September 22, 2026, 44 chapters issued 2,260 dues charges on Dueflow, and 48.8% had been paid in full by September 22 (up from 43.6% of 1,670 charges at the September 8 snapshot). The median fall 2026 payment landed 13.1 days after the charge was issued. Of the 1,242 fall charges whose due date had passed, 36.8% were paid on or before the deadline, in line with the 37.9% all-time on-time rate. Roughly 45% of fall due dates have not yet passed, so the final fall collection rate will be higher.

### Do chapter members use payment plans to split their dues?

Rarely, and mostly for large bills. Of 2,406 dues charges paid in full through recorded payments between December 2, 2025 and September 22, 2026, 45 (1.9%) were settled in two or more installments; counting the 80 charges that are still partially paid, 125 of 2,487 charges with at least one payment (5.0%) have been split. The charges members split are much larger: a median of $1,140 versus $700 for charges paid in one payment. When a member does split, they make 2.4 payments on average, the first installment covers a median 44% of the balance, and the final installment lands a median 8 days after the first. Charges still open in a partially paid state have collected 36.4% of their balance on average.

### How much fraternity and sorority dues money still arrives by Zelle, Venmo, check, or cash?

About one payment in ten. Of 2,562 dues payments recorded on Dueflow between December 2, 2025 and September 22, 2026, 274 (10.7%) were not paid online but logged manually by a treasurer as an off-platform payment: 146 Zelle (53% of off-platform payments), 50 Venmo, 41 check, 21 other, and 16 cash, with a further 17 settled by chapter credit. Because online payments skew larger, off-platform payments were 7.8% of dues dollars collected. Checks are the outlier: the average recorded check was $1,114, versus $611 for Zelle and $532 for Venmo. 20 of the 44 chapters that collected a dues payment in the window (45%) recorded at least one off-platform payment, so even chapters on a dues platform still reconcile some peer-to-peer and paper payments by hand.

### How many members pay dues at the early-bird or late price, and how often do online payments fail?

Of 2,270 online dues payments with a recorded pricing tier, 87 (3.8%) were paid at an early-bird price, 63 (2.8%) at a late-fee price, and 2,120 (93.4%) at the regular price. Separately, 94 online payment attempts failed against 2,271 that succeeded, a 4.0% failure rate on attempts that reached a final state. A failed attempt leaves the charge open and the member can retry, so failures delay collection rather than lose it.

## Methodology

Every figure is computed from Dueflow's production database over all non-voided dues charges created between December 2, 2025 and September 8, 2026 – 3,772 charges across 41 member organizations and 1,943 members. Store orders, donations, and subscription charges are excluded so the numbers describe dues only. Numbers are aggregate and anonymized: no chapter, member, or individual payment is identified, and no dollar amounts for any single organization are published. Collection rate is charges paid in full divided by all charges issued, so charges that are still open and not yet due are counted in the denominator. On-time rate uses only the 2,210 charges whose due date had passed by September 8, 2026. Timing figures use only charges that have been paid. Payment-method shares exclude paid charges recorded before Dueflow stored a method type. The first edition of this page (published August 17, 2026) covered December 2, 2025 – August 16, 2026 and counted all charge types; this edition narrows the sample to dues charges and adds late-fee, early-bird, and fall 2026 figures. The September 22, 2026 addendum (payment plans, off-platform payments, pricing tiers, payment failures, and the refreshed fall 2026 cycle) is computed over dues charges created through September 22, 2026 – 4,347 charges across 51 chapters and 2,253 members – and counts individual recorded payments rather than charges where stated. Off-platform payments are those a treasurer marked as paid by Zelle, Venmo, check, cash, or another method outside Dueflow.

## FAQ

**How long do chapter members take to pay dues?**

On Dueflow the median dues charge is paid 12.6 days after it is issued, and the mean is 21.4 days. 29.8% of paid charges are settled within a week, 56.5% within two weeks, and 83.0% within 30 days.

**What percentage of fraternity and sorority dues are paid on time?**

37.9% of dues charges whose due date has passed were paid on or before that date. Among charges that were eventually paid, 55.4% arrived late, by a median of 7 days.

**What is a normal dues collection rate for a chapter?**

Across 3,772 dues charges issued on Dueflow, 68.9% have been collected in full, and 84.9% of charges whose due date has passed have been paid. The 68.9% denominator includes charges that are still open and not yet overdue, so a chapter mid-cycle should expect a lower number than one at the end of a semester.

**Do late fees help collect fraternity or sorority dues?**

Not measurably. In Dueflow's data, charges with a late-fee deadline were paid on time 31.8% of the time versus 39.0% for charges without one. Early-bird discounts correlate with far better on-time payment (58.8%) than late fees do.

**Do members prefer to pay dues by card or by bank transfer?**

It is an even split. Of payments with a recorded method, 50.4% were ACH bank transfers, 48.3% were credit or debit cards, and 1.2% used Klarna buy-now-pay-later.

**Do automated dues reminders actually work?**

In Dueflow's data, charges with at least one automated reminder were paid at 70.8% while charges with no reminder were paid at 19.4%. Reminders are enabled by default, so this is observational rather than a controlled experiment, but the effect is large and consistent across two snapshots.

**How many chapter members split their dues into installments?**

Few. On Dueflow, 1.9% of fully paid dues charges were settled in two or more installments, and 5.0% of all charges with at least one payment have been split. Members who split owe a median $1,140 versus $700 for single-payment charges, make 2.4 payments on average, and finish a median 8 days after their first installment.

**How much of fraternity and sorority dues collection still happens over Zelle, Venmo, check, or cash?**

In Dueflow's data, 10.7% of recorded dues payments (274 of 2,562) were logged by the treasurer as off-platform payments rather than paid online, representing 7.8% of dues dollars. Zelle was 53% of those, followed by Venmo, check, and cash, and 45% of chapters recorded at least one off-platform payment.

**Can I cite these dues collection statistics?**

Yes. These figures are published for chapter treasurers, advisors, national headquarters staff, and journalists to cite, with attribution to Dueflow and a link to this page. They cover December 2, 2025 through September 8, 2026, with an addendum through September 22, 2026, and are refreshed each semester as the sample grows.

# Fraternity & Sorority Dues Calculator

Last updated September 7, 2026

> Add up your chapter's annual costs and instantly see what each member should pay per semester.

Setting dues is guesswork for most treasurers – you inherit last year's number and hope it covers the budget. This calculator works the other way around: enter your real annual costs and member count, and it tells you the per-member dues that actually balance your chapter's books. Use it to justify a dues increase to your chapter, plan a new budget, or sanity-check the number you inherited.

## FAQ

**How are chapter dues calculated?**

Dues are your chapter's total annual operating cost divided by the number of dues-paying members, then split across your billing periods. For example, a chapter with $80,000 in annual costs and 100 members needs $800 per member per year, or $400 per member per semester. This calculator adds up national dues, house and facility costs, social budget, philanthropy, recruitment, and operating expenses to find that number.

**Should national/HQ dues be included in member dues?**

Yes. Most chapters roll the per-member amount their national headquarters charges into the dues each member pays, so the chapter collects one number and remits HQ's portion. Enter your total annual national/HQ bill and the calculator spreads it across your members.

**How many billing periods should I use?**

Use 2 if you collect dues once per semester (the most common setup), 1 for a single annual bill, or 4 for quarterly. The calculator divides the per-member annual amount evenly across whatever number you choose.

**What's a reasonable amount for chapter dues?**

It varies widely – typically $200–$1,200 per semester depending on whether your chapter has a house, the size of your social and philanthropy budgets, and what national charges. Rather than copying another chapter, build your dues from your own budget so every dollar is accounted for.

**Can members pay dues in installments?**

Yes. With Dueflow you can let members split dues into a payment plan instead of one lump sum, which significantly increases on-time payment. Use the Payment Plan Generator to preview a schedule, or set it up automatically inside Dueflow.

> Turn a lump-sum dues bill into an installment schedule members can actually afford.

Large one-time dues bills are the number-one reason members fall behind. Splitting dues into a few smaller payments makes Greek life more affordable and gets you paid on time. Enter the total, the number of installments, and a start date to generate a clean schedule with exact dates and amounts – then set it up automatically in Dueflow so reminders and collection happen for you.

## FAQ

**How do I set up a dues payment plan?**

Decide the total amount, how many installments you'll allow, and when the first payment is due. This generator builds the schedule for you. Inside Dueflow you can then create a payment with partial payments enabled so members pay in installments while you track every payment and remaining balance automatically.

**How many installments should a payment plan have?**

Three to four installments across a semester is the most common and works well – frequent enough to keep amounts small, infrequent enough that members don't lose track. Monthly plans across a 4-month semester are a popular default.

**Do payment plans increase on-time payment?**

Yes. Smaller, scheduled amounts are far easier for members (and parents) to budget for than a single large bill, and automated reminders on each installment reduce the chasing treasurers have to do. Chapters that offer payment flexibility consistently see fewer overdue accounts.

**How is the final installment calculated?**

Installments are split as evenly as possible. When the total doesn't divide cleanly, the small remainder is added to the final installment so the payments always add up exactly to the total – no missing or extra cents.

# Chapter Budget Calculator

Last updated September 7, 2026

> Build a balanced annual chapter budget, see your surplus or shortfall, and find the dues needed to break even.

A chapter budget is just income versus expenses – but most chapters never write one down, which is how reserves quietly disappear. Enter your expected income and your costs by category to see whether you're running a surplus or a deficit, and exactly what per-member dues would balance the books. Download your budget as a spreadsheet to share with your exec board or hand off to next year's treasurer.

## FAQ

**How do I create a chapter budget?**

List your expected income (dues, fundraising, national subsidies, event revenue) and your expenses by category (national dues, house, social, philanthropy, recruitment, operating). Subtract expenses from income: a positive number is a surplus, a negative number is a shortfall you need to cover with higher dues or more fundraising. This calculator does that math and shows the dues needed to break even.

**What expense categories should a chapter budget include?**

Common categories are national/HQ dues, house or facility costs, social and event budgets, philanthropy and service, recruitment, risk management, and general operating costs (supplies, software, banking). Add an 'other' line for anything chapter-specific.

**How much should a chapter keep in reserve?**

A healthy rule of thumb is keeping 10–20% of your annual budget in reserve to absorb unpaid dues, surprise repairs, or a slow recruitment year. Build the reserve contribution into your budget as an expense line so it's funded intentionally rather than from leftovers.

**How often should we revisit the budget?**

Set the budget before each year or semester and review it at least once mid-term against actual collections. Treasurers using Dueflow can see real-time collection and spending data on their dashboard, making it easy to catch a shortfall before it becomes a crisis.

# The Best Fraternity Dues Software in 2026

Last updated October 11, 2026

> An honest comparison of the top platforms for collecting fraternity dues – pricing, features, and who each one is really for.

Short answer: if your nationals mandates a platform (OmegaFi, GreekBill, or Billhighway), use that one. Otherwise, for most chapters the best fraternity dues software is Dueflow: $0 platform fee, members cover processing at checkout, and reminders and payment plans run automatically. Pick PayDues if you want bank-first autopay and accept a 0.5–1% platform fee on every payment, MyGreek if you want a chapter bank account with officer cards bundled in ($0–$99/month), or RallyDues if you prefer a flat $2 per member per month.

Every fraternity chapter has to collect dues, and the tool you use shapes how much time the treasurer spends chasing payments – and how much money the chapter keeps. Legacy platforms dominate through nationals mandates, but newer tools are cheaper, faster, and easier to use. Here's a fair look at the leading options, who each is best for, and their real trade-offs.

## How the options compare at a glance

Platform cost is what a 100-member chapter pays the vendor over one school year, before payment processing. Where a vendor does not publish pricing, the figure is an estimate from chapter invoices.

| Platform | Chapter platform cost | Publishes pricing | Card processing |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| 1. Dueflow | $0 – no platform or per-member fee | Yes | Paid by the member at checkout |
| 2. OmegaFi | ~$3,600 ($3/member/month, from chapter invoices) | No | 3.15% + 30¢ |
| 3. GreekBill | ~$3,600 ($18/member/semester, from chapter invoices) | No | 5.15% + 30¢ |
| 4. BillHighway | ~$5,000 (estimate; per-member pricing sold through HQ) | No | – |
| 5. LegFi | ~$6,000 ($3–9/member/month across published tiers) | Yes | – |
| 6. PayDues | $0 subscription, but 0.5–1% of every payment ($500–$1,000 on $100k of dues unless passed to members) | Yes | ~2.9% + 30¢ plus the platform fee, member or chapter pays |
| 7. RallyDues | $2,430 in year one ($2.00/member/month + $30 setup) | Yes | Paid by the member at checkout |
| 8. MyGreek | $0–$1,188 (DIY $0/month, Plus $99/month) | Yes | 4% + 30¢ |

**Cons:**

Stripe-based dues invoicing and text-to-pay reminders, priced per member per month.

- Stripe payouts go straight to the chapter's bank and the member covers processing at checkout

**Cons:**

## 8. MyGreek

Free do-it-yourself billing for dues, rent, formals, and merch, with a paid Plus tier.

**Pros:**
- $0 DIY tier that bills members for dues, rent, formals, and merch
- Auto-drafting payment plans and parent-friendly ways to pay

**Cons:**
- SMS reminder bundles, e-sign, and 990-EZ filing sit behind a $99/month Plus plan
- Onboarding runs through a 20-minute demo call, and there is no nationals product or public API

## 9. Greekly

A newer Stripe-backed dues tool built around reminder schedules and a live paid/unpaid board.

**Best for small chapters that only need semester dues, assessments, and automatic late-payer reminders.**

**Pros:**
- One charge for the whole roster with a configurable reminder schedule
- Card and ACH through a member portal, with funds landing in the chapter's account

**Cons:**
- Dues-only scope: no store, fundraising, reimbursements, budgeting, or nationals tools
- Very new, and pricing is not published on its site

## Our verdict

For most fraternity chapters, Dueflow is the best choice: it's free, modern, and set up in minutes, with the automation that actually reduces late payments. If your nationals mandates OmegaFi or GreekBill across every chapter, those remain the path of least resistance – but it's worth showing headquarters the cost savings and better data a modern platform delivers.

## FAQ

**What's the best software to collect fraternity dues?**

For most chapters, Dueflow is the best option: it charges zero platform fees, sets up in about five minutes, and automates reminders, payment plans, and reporting. Legacy platforms like OmegaFi and GreekBill are common where nationals mandates them, but they charge per-member fees and are slower to set up.

**How much does fraternity dues software cost?**

It varies widely. Legacy platforms typically charge $15-30 per member per semester plus setup fees. Dueflow charges chapters and nationals nothing – members pay a small processing fee per payment, and the chapter keeps 100% of dues collected.

**Can we switch if our nationals uses OmegaFi?**

Often yes, especially at the chapter level, though some nationals mandate a specific platform. Dueflow includes nationals-level oversight tools, so headquarters can still get visibility – which makes the cost-savings case to nationals easier to have.

# The Best Fraternity Accounting Software in 2026

Last updated October 21, 2026

> A fair comparison of the tools fraternity and sorority treasurers actually keep the books in – a Greek-specific platform, general small-business accounting, and nonprofit bookkeeping – with published prices and the trade-offs of each.

Short answer: the best fraternity accounting software depends on where your money already moves. If the chapter collects dues online, Dueflow records every payment in a chapter ledger as it happens, lets the treasurer post each payout to QuickBooks Online as a categorized deposit, and prepares Form 990 workpapers, for $0 in platform fees. If your nationals or CPA wants standard double-entry books, QuickBooks Online is the general-ledger standard (Free, Simple Start $38/month, Essentials $85/month list). MoneyMinder ($299/year) suits a volunteer treasurer who wants simple bookkeeping plus 990-N e-filing, and Aplos (from $79/month list) is fund accounting for larger nonprofits. OmegaFi is the accounting-and-billing bundle you use when headquarters mandates it.

Fraternity accounting is a dues ledger, a reimbursement queue, a budget, and – because most chapters are tax-exempt under their national organization's group ruling – a Form 990 every year. Most chapters run it on some mix of a spreadsheet, a general accounting product, and the platform that collects the dues. The tools below are the ones treasurers compare most often; prices are the vendors' published list prices as of October 2026. OmegaFi does not publish pricing, so its at-a-glance row carries the same chapter-invoice estimate as our OmegaFi comparison page and is labeled as an estimate.

## How the options compare at a glance

Platform cost is what a 100-member chapter pays the vendor over one school year, before payment processing. Where a vendor does not publish pricing, the figure is an estimate from chapter invoices.

| Platform | Chapter platform cost | Publishes pricing | Card processing |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| 1. Dueflow | $0 – no platform or per-member fee | Yes | Paid by the member at checkout |
| 2. QuickBooks Online | $0–$1,020/year (Free plan $0; Simple Start $38/month list; Essentials $85/month list) | Yes | – |
| 3. MoneyMinder | $299/year (one plan; 990-EZ e-file $99/year extra) | Yes | – |
| 4. Aplos | $948–$1,548/year (Lite $79/month list, Core $129/month list) | Yes | – |
| 5. OmegaFi | ~$3,600 ($3/member/month, from chapter invoices) | No | 3.15% + 30¢ |

## 1. Dueflow

Accounting that starts from the payments themselves – dues, reimbursements, and store sales land in one chapter ledger.

**Best overall for chapters that collect dues online and want the books, QuickBooks sync, and Form 990 workpapers to come from the same system – at $0 in platform fees.**

**Pros:**
- Every dues payment, reimbursement, and store sale is recorded with its category when it happens, so the ledger is never re-keyed
- Once QuickBooks Online is connected, the treasurer posts each completed payout as a categorized deposit; Form 990 workpapers (gross receipts, revenue lines, balance sheet) and 990-N/EZ/full determination are built from the ledger

**Cons:**
- Built for chapters and national organizations – not a general-purpose accounting product for an unrelated business
- Members pay a processing fee at checkout, which some chapters prefer to absorb themselves

## 2. QuickBooks Online

The general small-business ledger most CPAs and national organizations already know.

**Best for chapters whose nationals, advisor, or CPA require standard double-entry books and will reconcile dues from a bank feed or a connected collection platform.**

**Pros:**
- Published tiers: Free ($0/month, 1 user, 2 invoices a month), Simple Start ($38/month list), Essentials ($85/month list) with accountant access on paid plans
- Bank feeds, automated categorization, invoicing, profit & loss and balance sheet reports – the format every CPA accepts

**Cons:**
- Knows nothing about members, dues cycles, payment plans, or chapter roles – dues collection has to happen somewhere else
- No Form 990 workflow; the paid plans are billed per company file whether or not the chapter is active over the summer

## 3. MoneyMinder

Volunteer-treasurer bookkeeping for nonprofits, with dues tracking and IRS e-file built in.

**Best for a volunteer treasurer who wants simple single-fund books, a budget, member dues tracking, and 990-N e-filing in one $299/year plan.**

**Pros:**
- One published plan at $299/year with no per-user charges, bank and PayPal/Square/Stripe imports, budgeting, and a treasurer's report
- Tracks member dues and statements, e-files the IRS 990-N, and bundles a Cheddar Up store for online collection

**Cons:**
- Collection runs through Cheddar Up with transaction fees that apply on top of the subscription; the 990-EZ e-file is a $99/year add-on
- Designed for PTAs, booster clubs, and small nonprofits – no fraternity-specific roster, officer roles, or payment plans

## 4. Aplos

Fund accounting for nonprofits, from a two-user starter plan to multi-fund budgeting.

**Best for a housing corporation, alumni association, or large chapter that needs true fund accounting, board reporting, and 1099 management.**

**Pros:**
- Published plans starting at Lite ($79/month list, 2 users) with balance sheet and income statement by fund, bank reconciliation, and a board portal
- Core ($129/month list) adds budgeting, accounts payable, and accounts receivable

**Cons:**
- The most expensive option here for a single undergraduate chapter, and the list price is per month year-round
- No dues collection, member portal, or payment plans – it is the ledger, not the way members pay

## 5. OmegaFi

Billing plus chapter accounting (Vault) sold through national organizations.

**Best for chapters whose national organization has standardized on OmegaFi for both billing and chapter accounting.**

**Pros:**
- Billing, member accounts, and chapter accounting come from one vendor the headquarters already works with
- Nationals reporting is built in

**Cons:**
- Pricing is not published; chapters report per-member charges that add up over a school year
- Chapter-level setup and changes run through the vendor and headquarters rather than the treasurer

## Our verdict

If the chapter collects dues online, choose the accounting that is produced by the collection itself: Dueflow keeps the ledger, posts payouts to QuickBooks Online when a CPA wants them there, and prepares the 990 workpapers for $0 in platform fees. Pick QuickBooks Online alone when a CPA or national organization requires standard books and someone is willing to reconcile dues by hand, MoneyMinder when a volunteer treasurer wants the cheapest complete nonprofit bookkeeping with 990-N e-file, and Aplos when a housing corporation or alumni board needs fund accounting. OmegaFi is the answer only when headquarters has already made it the answer.

## FAQ

**What is the best fraternity accounting software?**

For most undergraduate chapters that collect dues online, Dueflow – it records dues, reimbursements, and store sales in one chapter ledger as they happen, lets the treasurer post payouts to QuickBooks Online as categorized deposits, and prepares Form 990 workpapers, with no platform fee to the chapter. QuickBooks Online is the right choice when a CPA or nationals requires standard books, MoneyMinder when a volunteer treasurer wants $299/year nonprofit bookkeeping with 990-N e-file, and Aplos when a housing corporation needs fund accounting.

**Does a fraternity chapter need QuickBooks?**

Only if the national organization, an advisor, or the chapter's CPA asks for QuickBooks-format books. Many chapters keep their system of record in the platform that collects the dues and export to Excel or CSV. Dueflow connects to QuickBooks Online once and lets the treasurer post each completed payout as a categorized deposit, so chapters that do need QuickBooks do not have to re-key payments.

**How much does fraternity accounting software cost?**

Published list prices as of October 2026: Dueflow is $0 in platform fees for chapters and nationals (members pay a processing fee per payment); QuickBooks Online is $0 on its Free plan, $38/month for Simple Start, and $85/month for Essentials; MoneyMinder is $299/year; Aplos starts at $79/month for Lite. OmegaFi does not publish pricing.

**Which fraternity accounting software handles Form 990?**

Dueflow tracks the chapter's fiscal year and 990 deadline, determines whether a 990-N, 990-EZ, or full 990 applies from gross receipts, and builds the workpapers from the ledger; an officer or CPA files the return. MoneyMinder e-files the 990-N directly and the 990-EZ as a $99/year add-on. QuickBooks Online and Aplos produce the financial statements a preparer works from but do not prepare the 990 themselves.

**Can a chapter use a spreadsheet instead of accounting software?**

A spreadsheet works for a small chapter with a few dozen payments a semester, but it breaks down with payment plans, partial payments, reimbursements, and officer turnover, and it leaves no audit trail. Once dues are collected online, the collection platform already holds every transaction, so the ledger should come from it rather than be re-typed.

# The Best Sorority Finance Software in 2026

Last updated September 15, 2026

> A fair comparison of the top platforms for sorority dues, recruitment fees, and chapter finances – with the trade-offs each one carries.

Sorority finances go beyond dues – there are recruitment fees, social and philanthropy budgets, and a VP of Finance who has to keep it all transparent through officer turnover. The right platform automates the collection and keeps clean records; the wrong one adds per-member fees and manual work. Here's an honest look at the leading options.

## How the options compare at a glance

Legacy platforms make sense mainly where nationals requires them – and even then, the modern experience and zero fees are worth raising with headquarters.

## FAQ

**What's the best finance software for a sorority chapter?**

For most chapters, Dueflow is the best fit: it collects dues and recruitment fees, manages reimbursements, and reports in real time – free to the chapter. Legacy platforms like OmegaFi and GreekBill are common where nationals mandates them but charge per-member fees.

**Can we collect recruitment registration fees too?**

Yes. Dueflow can collect recruitment/PNM registration fees with a shareable link alongside dues, so recruitment season isn't a separate cash-app scramble.

**Is it free for sorority chapters?**

Dueflow is free for chapters and nationals – no per-member fees. Members pay a small processing fee per payment, and the chapter keeps everything it collects.

# The Best OmegaFi Alternatives in 2026

Last updated September 15, 2026

> Looking for an alternative to OmegaFi? Here are the top options for chapters and nationals, with honest pros, cons, and who each fits.

OmegaFi is one of the most established platforms in Greek life, but its per-member fees, lengthy onboarding, and dated interface lead many chapters and nationals to look elsewhere.

- The chapter pays a $1.85-$2.10 per-member monthly subscription plus a $30 setup fee
- No merch store, fundraising pages, QuickBooks sync, public API, or nationals oversight

## 6. MyGreek

Free do-it-yourself billing for dues, rent, formals, and merch, with a paid Plus tier.

**Best for chapters that want a $0 billing tool and don't mind a demo call to get started and metered SMS.**

**Pros:**
- $0 DIY tier that bills members for dues, rent, formals, and merch
- Auto-drafting payment plans and parent-friendly ways to pay

**Cons:**
- SMS reminder bundles, e-sign, and 990-EZ filing sit behind a $99/month Plus plan
- Onboarding runs through a 20-minute demo call, and there is no nationals product or public API

## 7. GreekTrack

Broad chapter-operations software with dues collection built in.

**Best for chapters that want member records, events, and billing in the same tool.**

**Pros:**
- Member database, events, and dues collection in one system
- Card and ACH payments

**Cons:**
- $6-10 per member per semester on top of processing fees
- Email-only reminders, no reimbursement workflow, and no SMS or buy-now-pay-later

## Our verdict

If you're leaving OmegaFi to save money and modernize, Dueflow is the alternative most chapters choose: it's free, sets up in minutes, and still gives nationals the oversight they need. GreekBill and BillHighway are options if you want to stay closer to the traditional, HQ-driven model – but they carry the same fees and legacy feel that prompted the search for an alternative.

## FAQ

**What is the best alternative to OmegaFi?**

For most chapters, Dueflow is the best OmegaFi alternative: it's free (no per-member fees), sets up in about five minutes, supports modern payment methods, and includes nationals oversight. GreekBill and BillHighway are more traditional alternatives that still charge fees.

**Why do chapters leave OmegaFi?**

The most common reasons are cost (per-member fees that reach thousands per year), slow onboarding, and an outdated interface. Chapters increasingly want zero-fee, mobile-friendly tools with automation built in.

**Is it hard to switch from OmegaFi to Dueflow?**

No. Most chapters are set up on Dueflow in about five minutes, and you can import your member list rather than re-entering it. Because Dueflow includes nationals-level oversight, headquarters can still get the visibility they had before.

# The Best GreekBill Alternatives in 2026

Last updated September 15, 2026

> GreekBill is now sold as re:Members Choice Finance. Here are the top alternatives for chapters comparing their options, with honest pros, cons, and who each fits.

GreekBill still exists, but it is now sold as re:Members Choice Finance – greekbill.com redirects to remembers.com. Between the rebrand, per-member fees of $18 per semester, and processing rates of 5.15% + 30¢ on cards, many chapters take the change of name as the moment to re-evaluate. Whether you want lower cost, a modern experience, or both, here are the strongest GreekBill alternatives – starting with the one most chapters switch to.

## How the options compare at a glance

Platform cost is what a 100-member chapter pays the vendor over one school year, before payment processing. Where a vendor does not publish pricing, the figure is an estimate from chapter invoices.

| Platform | Chapter platform cost | Publishes pricing | Card processing |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| 1. Dueflow | $0 – no platform or per-member fee | Yes | Paid by the member at checkout |
| 2. OmegaFi | ~$3,600 ($3/member/month, from chapter invoices) | No | 3.15% + 30¢ |

| 7. GreekTrack | ~$3,500 (estimate; GreekTrack does not publish pricing) | No | – |

## 1. Dueflow

The modern, zero-fee platform for dues collection and chapter finances.

**Best GreekBill alternative overall – zero platform fees, modern payments, and set up in minutes.**

**Pros:**
- Zero platform fees – free for chapters and nationals; members pay only a small processing fee
- 5-minute setup with ACH, card, Apple Pay, and Klarna payments
- Automated email + SMS reminders, payment plans, reimbursements, and a merch store in one platform
- Real-time dashboards and clean records that survive officer turnover

**Cons:**
- A newer platform, so a shorter track record than GreekBill
- Migrating from GreekBill means exporting your member list and importing it into Dueflow (an import takes under 2 minutes)

## 2. OmegaFi

The other long-established Greek-life billing incumbent.

**Best for chapters whose nationals already run OmegaFi organization-wide.**

**Pros:**
- Long track record and nationals relationships
- Broad HQ-oriented feature set

**Cons:**
- Per-member fees that add up to thousands per year
- Lengthy onboarding and a dated interface

## 3. BillHighway

Enterprise financial management for large organizations, sold alongside GreekBill under re:Members.

**Best for large nationals that need HQ-grade financial infrastructure.**

**Pros:**
- Powerful organization-wide financial tooling
- Built for scale

**Cons:**
- Overkill and expensive for an individual chapter
- Oriented to headquarters rather than chapter treasurers

## 4. LegFi

A simpler collection tool for smaller organizations.

**Best for very small groups wanting basic online dues.**

**Pros:**
- Simple to start
- Lightweight

**Cons:**
- Platform fees on collections
- Fewer features and an uncertain roadmap

## 5. RallyDues

Stripe-based dues invoicing and text-to-pay reminders, priced per member per month.

**Best for a single chapter that wants simple invoices and text reminders and is fine paying a monthly per-member subscription.**

**Pros:**
- Automated invoices, reminders, and a final notice; members can pay from a text or magic link
- Stripe payouts go straight to the chapter's bank and the member covers processing at checkout

**Cons:**
- The chapter pays a $1.85–$2.10 per-member monthly subscription plus a $30 setup fee
- No merch store, fundraising pages, QuickBooks sync, public API, or nationals oversight

## 6. MyGreek

Free do-it-yourself billing for dues, rent, formals, and merch, with a paid Plus tier.

**Best for chapters that want a $0 billing tool and don't mind a demo call to get started and metered SMS.**

**Pros:**
- $0 DIY tier that bills members for dues, rent, formals, and merch
- Auto-drafting payment plans and parent-friendly ways to pay

**Cons:**
- SMS reminder bundles, e-sign, and 990-EZ filing sit behind a $99/month Plus plan

## 7. GreekTrack

Broad chapter-operations software with dues collection built in.

**Best for chapters that want member records, events, and billing in the same tool.**

**Pros:**
- Member database, events, and dues collection in one system
- Card and ACH payments

**Cons:**
- $6–10 per member per semester on top of processing fees
- Email-only reminders, no reimbursement workflow, and no SMS or buy-now-pay-later

## Our verdict

If you're leaving GreekBill to cut fees and modernize, Dueflow is the alternative most chapters choose: it charges chapters nothing, sets up in about five minutes, and automates reminders, payment plans, and reporting. OmegaFi and BillHighway keep you in the traditional, HQ-driven model – but they carry the same per-member fees and legacy feel that prompted the search in the first place. RallyDues, MyGreek, and GreekTrack are lighter chapter-first tools worth a look if you only need basic invoicing, though each charges the chapter a subscription or per-member fee for the fuller feature set.

## FAQ

**What happened to GreekBill?**

GreekBill was folded into re:Members and is now sold as re:Members Choice Finance – greekbill.com redirects to remembers.com. Existing accounts sign in through the re:Members login. The product still exists, but the rebrand leads many chapters to re-evaluate their options.

**What is the best alternative to GreekBill?**

For most chapters, Dueflow is the best GreekBill alternative: it charges no platform or per-member fees, sets up in about five minutes, supports card, ACH, Apple Pay, and Klarna payments, and includes automated SMS and email reminders. OmegaFi and BillHighway are more traditional alternatives that still charge fees.

**How do GreekBill's fees compare to alternatives?**

GreekBill charges chapters $18 per member per semester ($36/year) in platform fees, plus 5.15% + 30¢ for card processing and 3% for ACH – figures from chapter invoices, since GreekBill doesn't publish pricing, so check your own agreement. Dueflow charges chapters $0 – members pay only a processing fee (a small flat fee plus 3.3% on cards, or a flat fee capped at $15 for ACH). On a 100-member chapter that is roughly $3,600 saved per year in platform fees alone.

**Is it hard to switch from GreekBill to Dueflow?**

No. Export your member list from GreekBill (now re:Members), import it into Dueflow in under 2 minutes, and you can run both side by side for a semester before fully switching.

# The Best Billhighway Alternatives in 2026

Last updated September 15, 2026

> Billhighway is now sold as re:Members Financials. Here are the top alternatives for chapters and nationals comparing their options, with honest pros, cons, and who each fits.

Billhighway still exists, but since January 2025 it is sold as re:Members Financials alongside greekbill and ChapterSpot under the re:Members name. It was built for national headquarters – multi-chapter billing, HQ reporting, and enterprise financial controls – which is exactly why a single chapter treasurer often finds it expensive and slow: per-member platform fees, a service fee layered on top of card processing, and an onboarding that runs weeks rather than minutes. Whether you are a chapter that wants a simpler, cheaper tool or a nationals office re-evaluating its finance stack after the rebrand, here are the strongest Billhighway alternatives – starting with the one most chapters switch to.

## How the options compare at a glance

Platform cost is what a 100-member chapter pays the vendor over one school year, before payment processing. Where a vendor does not publish pricing, the figure is an estimate from chapter invoices.

| Platform | Chapter platform cost | Publishes pricing | Card processing |

| 1. Dueflow | $0 – no platform or per-member fee | Yes | Paid by the member at checkout |
| 2. OmegaFi | ~$3,600 ($3/member/month, from chapter invoices) | No | 3.15% + 30¢ |
| 3. GreekBill | ~$3,600 ($18/member/semester, from chapter invoices) | No | 5.15% + 30¢ |
| 4. LegFi | ~$6,000 ($3–9/member/month across published tiers) | Yes | – |
| 5. RallyDues | $2,430 in year one ($2.00/member/month + $30 setup) | Yes | Paid by the member at checkout |
| 6. MyGreek | $0–$1,188 (DIY $0/month, Plus $99/month) | Yes | 4% + 30¢ |
| 7. GreekTrack | ~$3,500 (estimate; GreekTrack does not publish pricing) | No | – |

## 1. Dueflow

The modern, zero-fee platform for dues collection and chapter finances.

**Best Billhighway alternative overall – zero platform fees, modern payments, a free nationals dashboard, and set up in minutes.**

**Pros:**
- Zero platform fees – free for chapters and nationals; members pay only a small processing fee
- 5-minute setup with ACH, card, Apple Pay, and Klarna payments
- Automated email + SMS reminders, payment plans, reimbursements, and a merch store in one platform
- Real-time dashboards and clean records that survive officer turnover

**Cons:**
- A newer platform, so a shorter track record than Billhighway
- Migrating from Billhighway means exporting your member list and importing it into Dueflow (an import takes under 2 minutes)

## 2. OmegaFi

The other long-established, HQ-oriented Greek-life billing incumbent.

**Best for nationals that want a mandated, full-service system and are comfortable with per-member fees.**

**Pros:**
- Long track record and deep nationals relationships
- Full-service billing, accounting, and HQ reporting

**Cons:**
- Per-member fees that add up to thousands per year
- Lengthy onboarding and a dated interface

## 3. GreekBill

Chapter-level billing, now sold as re:Members Choice Finance by the same company as Billhighway.

**Best for chapters that want to stay inside the re:Members suite but need something lighter than Billhighway.**

**Pros:**
- Established billing workflows and member statements
- Same vendor as Billhighway, so nationals reporting lines up

**Cons:**
- Not really a way out – same company, same per-member platform fees
- Fewer modern conveniences (BNPL, SMS reminders, built-in store)

## 4. LegFi

A simpler collection tool for smaller organizations.

**Best for very small groups wanting basic online dues.**

**Pros:**
- Simple to start
- Lightweight

**Cons:**
- Platform fees on collections
- Fewer features and an uncertain roadmap

## 5. RallyDues

Stripe-based dues invoicing and text-to-pay reminders, priced per member per month.

**Pros:**
- Automated invoices, reminders, and a final notice; members can pay from a text or magic link

- Email-only reminders, no reimbursement workflow, and no SMS or buy-now-pay-later

## Our verdict

If you're leaving Billhighway to cut fees and get a tool built for the treasurer rather than headquarters, Dueflow is the alternative most chapters choose: it charges chapters and nationals nothing, sets up in about five minutes, and still gives HQ a free cross-chapter dashboard. OmegaFi keeps you in the traditional, HQ-driven model with the same per-member fees; GreekBill is the same company under a different label. RallyDues, MyGreek, and GreekTrack are lighter chapter-first tools worth a look if you only need basic invoicing, though each charges the chapter a subscription or per-member fee for the fuller feature set.

## FAQ

**What happened to Billhighway?**

Billhighway was renamed re:Members Financials in January 2025, when its parent company unified Billhighway, greekbill, ChapterSpot, and Impexium under the re:Members name. The product still exists and existing organizations keep using it; the rebrand is why many chapters and nationals are re-evaluating their options.

**What is the best alternative to Billhighway?**

For most chapters, Dueflow is the best Billhighway alternative: it charges no platform or per-member fees, sets up in about five minutes, supports card, ACH, Apple Pay, and Klarna payments, includes automated SMS and email reminders and reimbursements, and gives nationals a free cross-chapter dashboard. OmegaFi is the closest traditional alternative but still charges per-member fees.

**How do Billhighway's fees compare to alternatives?**

Billhighway charges organizations per-member platform fees, and its own materials list a card processing fee of around 2.7% plus a 1.3% Billhighway service fee per transaction; some organizations pass a further 2.25%-3% convenience fee to members paying by card. Exact rates vary by organization, so check your agreement. Dueflow charges chapters and nationals $0 – members pay only a processing fee (a small flat fee plus 3.3% on cards, or a flat fee capped at $15 for ACH). For a typical 100-member chapter that works out to roughly $5,000 a year in savings.

**Does a Billhighway alternative need to support nationals?**

If your headquarters uses Billhighway for cross-chapter visibility, yes – otherwise switching at the chapter level creates a reporting gap. Dueflow includes a free nationals dashboard with per-chapter collection status, organization-wide reminders, and consolidated reporting, so HQ keeps the oversight it had without the per-member fees. Chapter-only tools like RallyDues, MyGreek, and GreekTrack have no nationals product.

**Is it hard to switch from Billhighway to Dueflow?**

No. Export your member list from Billhighway (now re:Members Financials), import it into Dueflow in under 2 minutes, connect the chapter bank account, and you can run both side by side for a semester before fully switching. If nationals mandates Billhighway, Dueflow's nationals dashboard is the easiest way to show HQ what they would keep.

# The Best Sorority Chapter Management Apps in 2026

Last updated September 29, 2026

> The apps sorority chapters actually run on – for dues and finances, member records, events, attendance, points, and chapter communication – with what each one does, what it publishes about pricing, and who it fits.

A sorority chapter management app – the best app for running a sorority chapter – is the software a chapter uses to run itself: bill dues and new member fees, keep the roster, sell formal tickets and philanthropy items, take attendance, track points, and talk to 150 sisters without losing anything in a group chat. No single app does all of that well, so most chapters pair a finance platform with a communication app. This guide covers the seven apps that come up most when sorority officers and advisors compare options, described from each vendor's own public pages. Where a vendor does not publish pricing, we say so rather than guess.

## How the options compare at a glance

Platform cost is what a 100-member chapter pays the vendor over one school year, before payment processing. Where a vendor does not publish pricing, the figure is an estimate from chapter invoices.

| Platform | Chapter platform cost | Publishes pricing | Card processing |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| 1. Dueflow | $0 – no platform or per-member fee | Yes | Paid by the member at checkout |
| 3. OurHouse | Quote-only (sold to national organizations; no published price) | No | – |
| 4. Greek Connect | $240 ($120/semester at Greek Connect's default chapter size; slider moves it) | Yes | Not published |
| 5. Greekly | Quote-only (annual chapter contract; pricing page login-gated) | No | – |
| 6. OmegaFi | ~$3,600 ($3/member/month, from chapter invoices) | No | 3.15% + 30¢ |
| 7. ChapterBuilder | $600 (ChapterBuilder Plus annual tier; Pro $850, Free up to 10 users; $0 through a campus or HQ partnership) | Yes | N/A – does not collect money |

## 1. Dueflow

The sorority chapter management app for dues, members, events, reimbursements, and reporting – $0 to the chapter.

**Best for the money side of running a chapter – dues, new member fees, payment plans, reimbursements, philanthropy and formal sales, and the reports exec, advisors, and nationals ask for.**

**Pros:**
- Zero platform fees – the chapter pays nothing; the sister or parent paying adds a processing fee at checkout
- Runs in the browser on any phone or laptop; sisters and parents pay from a link with no download and no account
- Bills by pledge class, live-in vs live-out, or the whole roster, with payment plans and automated email + SMS reminders
- Member directory with roles for the whole exec board, reimbursements with receipts, a built-in store for tickets and merch, and real-time dashboards

**Cons:**
- Not a chapter chat app – pair it with Flare, GroupMe, or Slack for day-to-day communication
- No points, study-hour, or attendance tracking – it is a finance and membership platform, not an operations app

## 2. Flare

The group communication app sorority advisors recommend most – chats, events, attendance, and points.

**Best for chapter communication and operations – announcement walls, event calendars, QR-code attendance, and a points system in one app.**

**Pros:**
- iMessage-style and wall-style chats with admin controls (suspend members, delete messages, disable screenshots)
- Event calendar with photos, polls, guest lists, secure rotating QR tickets, and QR check-in that links to a points system
- Contact list, birthdays, albums, and alumni management; its site reports 1,000,000+ users across 10,000+ groups
- Free – its FAQ says current features will always be free, with paid extras such as peer-to-peer payments possible later

**Cons:**
- No dues billing, payments, or chapter finance features today
- Venture-funded and free, so the long-term business model is still being worked out

## 3. OurHouse

Headquarters-partnered chapter management with a mobile app for members and a web platform for officers.

**Best for chapters whose national organization has already rolled out OurHouse across its chapters.**

**Pros:**
- Separate member, officer, advisor, and organization logins, so headquarters and advisors see chapters in one place
- Testimonials on its site come from national staff at Tri Sigma and Alpha Phi describing organization-wide rollouts

**Cons:**
- Its public site does not publish a feature list or pricing – scope and cost come through the national organization
- Marketed to national organizations and their staff more than to an individual chapter shopping on its own

## 4. Greek Connect

A modular chapter operations app – points, calendar, messages, rush, drive, polls, tasks, meal plan, members.

**Best for chapters that want operations modules on iOS, Android, and web with light dues tracking inside the same app.**

**Pros:**
- Ten published modules covering points, calendar, messaging, rush, file storage, polls, tasks, meal plan, and members
- Publishes a price: $120 per semester at its default chapter size, with a 14-day free trial

**Cons:**
- Chapter-level dues tracking only; its own documentation points national dues billing to OmegaFi
- Payment-processing fees on dues collected through the app are not published

## 5. Greekly

Dues, events, messaging, recruitment voting, and alumni giving on an annual chapter contract.

**Best for chapters that want recruitment votes and bids in the same app as dues and are comfortable with a quote-based annual contract.**

**Pros:**
- Dues with Stripe reconciliation, events, messaging, a recruitment pipeline, votes and bids, and an alumni directory
- Publishes its own comparison pages against incumbents like OmegaFi

**Cons:**
- Does not publish pricing – sold through annual chapter contracts priced by chapter size and features
- Pricing page sits behind a login

## 6. OmegaFi

The full-service billing incumbent many sorority headquarters mandate.

**Best for chapters whose nationals requires one billing system across every chapter.**

**Pros:**
- Established across many sorority national organizations
- End-to-end billing, accounting, and headquarters reporting

**Cons:**
- Does not publish pricing; chapters report about $3 per member per month on their invoices
- Built as a billing system rather than a member-facing chapter app

## 7. ChapterBuilder

Phired Up's recruitment CRM – leads, forms, tasks, and a leaderboard for the recruitment team.

**Best for the recruitment side of chapter management, especially where the campus or headquarters already provides it.**

**Pros:**
- Unlimited leads and lead profiles, interest forms, tasks, statuses, tags, milestones, and in-app texting and calling
- Publishes an annual price table: Free for up to 10 users, Plus $600, Pro $850 – and $0 where a campus or HQ partnership includes it

**Cons:**
- Recruitment only – no dues, payments, attendance, or chapter communication
- Officers still need a finance app and a chat app alongside it

## Our verdict

There is no single sorority chapter management app that runs finances, communication, attendance, and recruitment equally well, so the practical stack for most chapters is two apps: Dueflow for dues, member records, events, reimbursements, and reporting – free to the chapter, with sisters and parents paying from a link in their browser – and a communication app such as Flare for chats, attendance, and points. Chapters whose headquarters has standardized on OurHouse or OmegaFi should start from that mandate and use Dueflow's nationals dashboard to show HQ what a switch would look like.

## FAQ

**What is the best app for running a sorority chapter?**

For dues, new member fees, payment plans, reimbursements, philanthropy and formal sales, member records, and the reports exec, advisors, and nationals ask for, Dueflow is the strongest sorority chapter app and costs the chapter $0. Pair it with Flare, GroupMe, or Slack for day-to-day chapter communication.

**What is the best sorority chapter management app?**

It depends on which job you mean. For dues, new member fees, payment plans, reimbursements, event and merch sales, and reporting, Dueflow is the strongest choice and costs the chapter $0. For chapter communication, attendance, and points, Flare is the app sorority advisors recommend most often. Most chapters run one of each.

**Does Dueflow have a mobile app?**

Dueflow is a web app that runs in the browser on any phone, tablet, or laptop, so there is nothing to install. Officers use the dashboard from their phone, and sisters and parents pay dues from a payment link or a text reminder without downloading an app or creating an account.

**Which apps do sororities use for chapter communication?**

In recent r/Sororities threads, members and advisors most often name Flare, followed by GroupMe, Slack, Geneva, BAND, and OurHouse. Flare is the one advisors most often say their chapters standardized on, because it combines announcement walls, events, attendance, and points in one app.

**Can one app handle both dues and chapter communication?**

Greek Connect and Greekly put messaging and dues tracking in the same app, but Greek Connect points national dues billing to OmegaFi and Greekly is sold on a quote-based annual contract. Most chapters get a better result pairing a dedicated finance platform like Dueflow with a communication app, because each does its own job fully and the finance records survive officer turnover.

**How much does a sorority chapter management app cost?**

Published prices range from $0 to a few hundred dollars a year: Dueflow is $0 to the chapter (the payer adds a processing fee), Flare says it is free, Greek Connect publishes $120 per semester at its default chapter size, and ChapterBuilder publishes Free, $600, and $850 annual tiers. OurHouse, Greekly, and OmegaFi do not publish pricing on their websites, so ask for a written quote before comparing.

# The Best Fraternity and Sorority Management Software in 2026

Last updated October 1, 2026

> Eight platforms chapters and headquarters actually run on – for dues and finances, member records, events, recruitment, and headquarters reporting – with what each one does, what it publishes about pricing, and who it fits.

Fraternity and sorority management software is the software a chapter uses to run itself, and the best app for running a fraternity chapter depends on which job you are hiring it for. Chapter management is really four jobs – collecting dues and running the chapter's money, keeping the roster and member records, running recruitment, and communicating with members – and no single platform does all four well. This guide covers the eight platforms that come up most when fraternity and sorority officers, advisors, and national staff compare options: Dueflow, OmegaFi, GreekTrack, Greek Connect, OurHouse, ChapterBuilder, Rush+, and re:Members. Every description comes from the vendor's own public pages. Where a vendor publishes pricing, the comparison table shows that price; where it does not, we say so, and any figure we show is marked as an estimate rather than a list price.

## How the options compare at a glance

Platform cost is what a 100-member chapter pays the vendor over one school year, before payment processing. Where a vendor does not publish pricing, the figure is an estimate from chapter invoices.

| Platform | Chapter platform cost | Publishes pricing | Card processing |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| 1. Dueflow | $0 – no platform or per-member fee | Yes | Paid by the member at checkout |
| 2. OmegaFi | ~$3,600 ($3/member/month, from chapter invoices) | No | 3.15% + 30¢ |
| 3. GreekTrack | ~$3,500 (estimate; GreekTrack does not publish pricing) | No | – |
| 4. Greek Connect | $240 ($120/semester at Greek Connect's default chapter size; slider moves it) | Yes | Not published |
| 5. OurHouse | Quote-only (sold to national organizations; no published price) | No | – |
| 6. ChapterBuilder | $600 (ChapterBuilder Plus annual tier; Pro $850, Free up to 10 users; $0 through a campus or HQ partnership) | Yes | N/A – does not collect money |
| 7. Rush+ | $240–$440 (Lite $120/semester, Full Access $220/semester, flat per chapter) | Yes | N/A – does not collect money |
| 8. re:Members | Quote-only (Greekbill and Billhighway are both sold through HQ demos; no published price) | No | – |

## 1. Dueflow

Fraternity and sorority management software for dues, members, events, reimbursements, budgets, and nationals reporting – $0 to the chapter.

**Best overall for the money and membership side of running a chapter – dues and new member fees, payment plans, reimbursements, budgets, a store for tickets and merch, member records, and the reports exec, advisors, and headquarters ask for.**

**Pros:**
- Zero platform fees – the chapter and its nationals pay nothing; the member or parent paying adds a processing fee at checkout
- 5-minute self-serve setup with ACH, card, Apple Pay, and Klarna; members and parents pay from a link with no download and no account
- Bills by pledge class, live-in vs live-out, or the whole roster, with payment plans and automated email + SMS reminders
- Member directory with officer roles, reimbursements with receipts, budgets with bank sync, QuickBooks sync, Form 990 filing, and a free headquarters oversight dashboard

**Cons:**
- Not a recruitment CRM or a chapter chat app – chapters pair it with a tool like Rush+ or ChapterBuilder for rush and GroupMe or Flare for day-to-day communication
- A newer platform, so a shorter track record than the 20-year-old billing incumbents

## 2. OmegaFi

The full-service billing and headquarters-reporting incumbent many national organizations mandate.

**Best for chapters whose national organization requires one billing system across every chapter and wants headquarters-level accounting and tax support.**

**Pros:**
- Positions itself explicitly as fraternity and sorority management software: billing and payments, member engagement, recruitment tools, and automated tax-filing services
- Established across many national organizations, with alumni and headquarters workflows built in

**Cons:**
- Does not publish pricing; chapters report about $3 per member per month on their invoices, plus a 3.15% + 30¢ card fee
- Built as a billing system for headquarters rather than a member-facing chapter app

## 3. GreekTrack

Online chapter management for membership, events, finances, philanthropy, and expansion – for chapters and headquarters.

**Best for chapters and headquarters that want membership records, attendance, events, points, and automated invoicing in one system and are willing to schedule a call for pricing.**

**Pros:**
- Describes itself as chapter management software for fraternities and sororities: membership, finances, expansion, philanthropy, and events
- Headquarters modules for a membership database, chapter websites, expansion management, automated invoicing, email campaigns, and conferences

**Cons:**
- Does not publish pricing – its site routes to info@ and a scheduled call
- Dues billing sits alongside the membership tools rather than leading them, and card fees are not published

## 4. Greek Connect

A modular chapter operations app – points, calendar, messages, rush, drive, polls, tasks, meal plan, members.

**Best for chapters that want operations modules on iOS, Android, and web with light dues tracking inside the same app.**

**Pros:**
- Ten published modules covering points, calendar, messaging, rush, file storage, polls, tasks, meal plan, and members
- Publishes a price: $120 per semester at its default chapter size, with a 14-day free trial

**Cons:**
- Chapter-level dues tracking only; its own documentation points national dues billing to OmegaFi
- Payment-processing fees on dues collected through the app are not published

## 5. OurHouse

Headquarters-partnered fraternity and sorority management with a mobile app for members and a web platform for officers.

**Best for chapters whose national organization has already rolled out OurHouse across its chapters.**

**Pros:**
- Separate member, officer, advisor, and organization logins, so headquarters and advisors see every chapter in one place
- Testimonials on its site come from national staff at Tri Sigma and Alpha Phi describing organization-wide rollouts

**Cons:**
- Its public site does not publish a feature list or pricing – scope and cost come through the national organization
- Marketed to national organizations and their staff more than to an individual chapter shopping on its own

## 6. ChapterBuilder

Phired Up's recruitment CRM – leads, forms, tasks, and a leaderboard for the recruitment team.

**Best for the recruitment side of chapter management, especially where the campus or headquarters already provides it.**

**Pros:**
- Unlimited leads and lead profiles, interest forms, tasks, statuses, tags, milestones, and in-app texting and calling
- Publishes an annual price table: Free for up to 10 users, Plus $600, Pro $850 – and $0 where a campus or HQ partnership includes it

**Cons:**
- Recruitment only – no dues, payments, attendance, or chapter communication
- Officers still need a finance platform and a chat app alongside it

## 7. Rush+

A recruitment platform for fraternities and sororities – prospect management, interest forms, events, tasks, voting rounds, and an AI prospect agent.

**Best for chapters that want a modern rush pipeline on iOS and Android at a flat per-chapter price and already have a finance platform.**

**Pros:**
- Prospect profiles, interest forms that feed the pipeline, event coordination, task management, live bid-day targets, and conversion analytics
- Publishes flat per-chapter pricing: a free Trial tier, Lite at $120 per semester, and Full Access at $220 per semester

**Cons:**
- Recruitment only – no dues, payments, budgets, or member finance
- Semester plans expire at a fixed date each term, so chapters re-buy for spring

## 8. re:Members

The parent brand of Greekbill and Billhighway – headquarters-first finance, CRM, housing, and fundraising sold to national organizations.

**Best for national organizations standardizing finance and CRM across every chapter through a headquarters contract.**

**Pros:**
- Owns two of the longest-running Greek billing products (Greekbill, now re:Members Choice Finance, and Billhighway, now re:Members Unified Finance) plus a Salesforce-based CRM
- Sold and supported at the headquarters level, with housing and fundraising tools in the same suite

**Cons:**
- Neither finance product publishes a price; every product page routes to a demo request
- A chapter cannot sign up on its own – adoption comes through the national organization

## Our verdict

There is no single best fraternity and sorority management software for every job, so the practical stack for most chapters is two tools: Dueflow for dues, member records, events, reimbursements, budgets, and headquarters reporting – free to the chapter, with members and parents paying from a link in their browser – and a recruitment tool such as Rush+ or ChapterBuilder for rush. Chapters whose headquarters has standardized on OmegaFi, OurHouse, or a re:Members product should start from that mandate and use Dueflow's nationals dashboard to show HQ what a switch would look like.

## FAQ

**What is the best app for running a fraternity chapter?**

For the money and membership side of running a fraternity chapter – dues, new member fees, payment plans, reimbursements, budgets, member records, and the reports exec, advisors, and headquarters ask for – Dueflow is the strongest choice and costs the chapter $0. Chapters usually pair it with a recruitment tool such as Rush+ or ChapterBuilder and a chat app such as GroupMe or Flare, because no single app does dues, rush, and communication well.

**What is the best fraternity and sorority management software?**

For dues, new member fees, payment plans, reimbursements, budgets, member records, and headquarters reporting, Dueflow is the strongest choice and costs the chapter $0. For recruitment, Rush+ and ChapterBuilder publish flat per-chapter prices. For chapters whose national organization mandates one billing system, OmegaFi, OurHouse, and the re:Members products are the incumbents. Most chapters run one finance platform and one recruitment tool.

**What is the difference between fraternity management software and dues software?**

Dues software collects money – it bills members, takes payments, sends reminders, and reports who owes what. Fraternity and sorority management software covers the wider job of running a chapter: member records, events, recruitment, communication, and headquarters reporting alongside the money. Dueflow covers the finance and membership side of that job; recruitment CRMs such as Rush+ and ChapterBuilder and communication apps such as Greek Connect cover the rest.

**How much does fraternity and sorority management software cost?**

Published prices range from $0 to a few hundred dollars a semester: Dueflow is $0 to the chapter (the payer adds a processing fee), Greek Connect publishes $120 per semester at its default chapter size, Rush+ publishes $120 or $220 per semester per chapter, and ChapterBuilder publishes Free, $600, and $850 annual tiers. OmegaFi, GreekTrack, OurHouse, and re:Members do not publish pricing on their websites, so ask for a written quote before comparing.

**Does the chapter or the national organization choose the software?**

It depends on the product. OmegaFi, OurHouse, and the re:Members products (Greekbill, Billhighway) are sold to national organizations and rolled out across chapters. Dueflow, Greek Connect, Rush+, and ChapterBuilder can be adopted by a single chapter without a headquarters contract; Dueflow also gives the national organization a free oversight dashboard if it wants one.

**Can one platform handle dues, recruitment, and communication?**

Greek Connect and GreekTrack put several of those jobs in one product, but neither publishes its payment-processing fees and GreekTrack does not publish pricing at all. Most chapters get a better result pairing a dedicated finance platform like Dueflow with a recruitment tool and a chat app, because each does its own job fully and the finance records survive officer turnover.

# Chapter Dues

Last updated September 7, 2026

_Dues & Billing_

> 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.

---

# National Dues

Last updated September 16, 2026

_Dues & Billing_

> The per-member fee a chapter owes to its national or international headquarters.

National dues (also called HQ or international dues) are charged by the organization's headquarters for each member and remitted by the chapter. Chapters usually roll this amount into the dues each member pays, then forward the headquarters' portion. National dues fund insurance, programming, staff, and organization-wide services. How much are national dues? Published 2025-26 fee schedules put the dues line alone at roughly $185 to $215 per member per year (Tau Kappa Epsilon $205, Beta Theta Pi $192, Delta Chi $185 across fall and spring billing), and about $260 to $430 per member per year once the headquarters' liability insurance or risk-management assessment is added (Alpha Kappa Lambda $260 to $300 all-in, Beta Theta Pi $402, TKE's $205 plus a risk fee calculated from a $225-per-man base). New members also owe one-time national charges for candidacy and initiation, typically $325 to $470 combined. Chapters bill these amounts to members alongside local dues, so a member's semester invoice is usually several times the national portion.

---

# New Member Fees

Last updated August 9, 2026

_Dues & Billing_

> One-time fees charged to new members for initiation, badges, and onboarding, on top of regular dues.

New member fees (or pledge/associate fees) are one-time charges that cover initiation, a badge or pin, national new-member programming, and educational materials. They're billed in addition to a new member's first term of chapter dues, and are typically higher than a returning member's dues for that term.

---

# Social Fee

Last updated August 9, 2026

_Dues & Billing_

> A portion of dues (or a separate charge) that funds a chapter's social events and programming.

A social fee is the share of member payments earmarked for mixers, formals, date parties, and other social programming. Some chapters bundle it into dues; others bill it separately so members who opt out of events can pay less. It is funded by and tracked against the chapter's social budget.

---

# House Fee (Parlor Fee)

Last updated August 9, 2026

_Dues & Billing_

> 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.

---

# Payment Plan

Last updated September 7, 2026

_Dues & Billing_

> An arrangement that lets a member pay dues in several smaller installments instead of one lump sum.

A payment plan splits a dues bill into a schedule of smaller payments – commonly three or four installments across a semester. Offering payment plans makes membership more affordable and significantly improves on-time payment, since smaller amounts are easier for members and parents to budget for.

---

# Installment

Last updated August 9, 2026

_Dues & Billing_

> A single scheduled payment within a larger payment plan.

An installment is one of the periodic payments that make up a payment plan. For example, $1,600 in dues split into four monthly installments is four payments of $400. Each installment has its own due date, and tracking them individually shows exactly how much of the total balance remains.

---

# Late Fee

Last updated August 9, 2026

_Dues & Billing_

> An additional charge applied when dues are not paid by the deadline.

A late fee is a penalty added to a member's balance when payment misses the due date. Late fees encourage on-time payment and offset the cost of chasing overdue accounts. Many chapters pair them with an early-bird discount so the same base amount has a lower 'pay early' price and a higher 'pay late' price.

---

# Early-Bird Discount

Last updated August 9, 2026

_Dues & Billing_

> A reduced dues amount for members who pay before an early deadline.

An early-bird discount lowers the dues amount for members who pay ahead of a set date, improving cash flow at the start of a term and rewarding prompt payers. It is the mirror image of a late fee: the chapter sets an early price, a regular price, and a late price, and the amount owed changes automatically as deadlines pass.

---

# Arrears

Last updated August 9, 2026

_Dues & Billing_

> Money a member owes that is past its due date; being 'in arrears' means behind on payments.

Arrears refers to dues or fees that remain unpaid after their deadline. A member 'in arrears' is behind on what they owe. Chapters track arrears closely because unpaid balances directly reduce the budget, and many organizations restrict privileges (voting, events) for members significantly in arrears.

---

# Delinquent Account

Last updated September 7, 2026

_Dues & Billing_

> A member account that is significantly overdue on payment.

A delinquent account is one where dues remain unpaid well past the deadline. Chapters typically have an escalation policy – reminders, a payment plan offer, loss of privileges, and ultimately referral to nationals or removal – for accounts that become delinquent. Clear policies and automated reminders keep delinquency rates low.

---

# ACH (Automated Clearing House)

Last updated September 7, 2026

_Payments & Banking_

> A US bank-to-bank electronic transfer network, used for low-cost direct payments from a member's checking account.

ACH is the network that moves money directly between US bank accounts – the same rails behind direct deposit and online bill pay. For dues collection it's the cheapest method because it carries a low, flat processing cost instead of a percentage, so it's usually the least expensive way for members to pay larger amounts.

---

# Payment Processing Fee

Last updated August 9, 2026

_Payments & Banking_

> The charge a payment processor takes to handle a transaction, often a percentage plus a fixed amount.

A processing fee is what it costs to accept an electronic payment. Card payments typically cost around 2.9% + $0.30 per transaction, while ACH bank transfers cost far less. On platforms like Dueflow the fee is shown up front and paid by the member, so the chapter receives the full amount it asks for and pays no platform fee.

---

# Chargeback

Last updated August 9, 2026

_Payments & Banking_

> A forced reversal of a card payment initiated by the cardholder's bank, usually after a dispute.

A chargeback happens when a member disputes a charge with their card issuer and the bank pulls the money back from the recipient, often with an added fee. For chapters, chargebacks are rare but disruptive; clear payment descriptions, receipts, and itemized dues reduce confusion that leads to disputes.

---

# Payment Dispute

Last updated September 7, 2026

_Payments & Banking_

> A cardholder's formal challenge to a charge, which can lead to a chargeback.

A dispute is raised when a member contacts their bank to question or reject a charge – for example because they didn't recognize it or believe it was wrong. If upheld, it becomes a chargeback and the funds are reversed. Transparent, itemized billing and receipts are the best defense against disputes.

---

# ACH Return

Last updated September 7, 2026

_Payments & Banking_

> A failed or reversed ACH payment, commonly due to insufficient funds or a closed account.

An ACH return occurs when a bank transfer can't complete – most often from insufficient funds (the ACH equivalent of a bounced check), a closed account, or incorrect account details. The payment is reversed and may carry a return fee. Returns are why an ACH payment can take a few business days to be considered final.

---

# Buy Now, Pay Later (BNPL)

Last updated August 9, 2026

_Payments & Banking_

> A financing option that lets a payer split a purchase into installments, often interest-free, paid to the provider.

Buy now, pay later services (such as Klarna or Afterpay) let a member pay over time while the chapter receives the full amount up front; the provider takes a percentage fee and collects the installments from the member. BNPL gives members budget flexibility for larger dues bills without the chapter having to manage the installments itself.

---

# Payment Processor

Last updated September 7, 2026

_Payments & Banking_

> A company that handles electronic payments between a payer and the recipient's bank account.

A payment processor (such as Stripe) authorizes, clears, and settles card and bank payments, moving money from the payer to the recipient. Dues platforms build on top of processors to add reminders, tracking, and reporting. The processor's fee is separate from any platform fee – Dueflow absorbs platform costs and passes only the processing fee to the member.

---

# PCI Compliance

Last updated September 7, 2026

_Payments & Banking_

> Adherence to the security standards that protect cardholder data during payment handling.

PCI DSS (Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard) is the set of rules for safely handling card information. Using a PCI-compliant payment platform means card data is encrypted and handled by certified processors, so a chapter never stores raw card numbers – reducing both risk and the chapter's compliance burden.

---

# Refund

Last updated September 7, 2026

_Payments & Banking_

> Returning a payment to the member who made it, in full or in part.

A refund sends money back to a member – for example when someone overpays, leaves the chapter before an event, or is charged in error. Unlike a chargeback (initiated by the bank), a refund is issued voluntarily by the chapter. Tracking refunds keeps the chapter's records and collection totals accurate.

---

# Settlement

Last updated August 9, 2026

_Payments & Banking_

> The transfer of collected funds into the chapter's bank account after payments are processed.

Settlement is the step where processed payments are deposited (paid out) into the chapter's connected bank account, usually on a daily or scheduled basis. Card payments settle quickly, while ACH can take a few business days. Until funds settle, a payment is collected but not yet spendable.

---

# Operating Budget

Last updated September 7, 2026

_Budgeting & Accounting_

> A chapter's plan of expected income and expenses for a term or year.

An operating budget lists the chapter's anticipated income (mostly dues) against its expenses by category – national dues, social, philanthropy, recruitment, house, and operations. A balanced budget breaks even or runs a small surplus; building dues from the budget ensures every dollar of cost is funded.

---

# Cash Reserve

Last updated August 9, 2026

_Budgeting & Accounting_

> Money a chapter keeps on hand to absorb unpaid dues, emergencies, or slow terms.

A cash reserve is savings the chapter holds outside its operating budget as a financial cushion. A common rule of thumb is keeping 10-20% of the annual budget in reserve to cover unexpected costs, a weak recruitment year, or members who don't pay. Funding the reserve as a deliberate budget line keeps it from being spent on operations.

---

# Accounts Receivable

Last updated September 7, 2026

_Budgeting & Accounting_

> Money owed to the chapter that has not yet been collected – primarily unpaid dues.

Accounts receivable (AR) is the total a chapter is owed but hasn't received, mostly outstanding member dues. High AR ties up the budget and signals collection problems. Tracking AR by member and age (how overdue it is) helps a treasurer prioritize follow-up and forecast available cash.

---

# Accounts Payable

Last updated September 7, 2026

_Budgeting & Accounting_

> Money the chapter owes to others – vendors, the national organization, or members awaiting reimbursement.

Accounts payable (AP) is what the chapter owes but hasn't yet paid: vendor invoices, national dues remittances, and pending reimbursements. Managing AP means paying obligations on time without overdrawing the account. Treasurers balance AP against incoming dues so the chapter always has cash to cover what's due.

---

# Ledger

Last updated September 7, 2026

_Budgeting & Accounting_

> The complete record of a chapter's financial transactions – money in and money out.

A ledger is the running log of every financial transaction: dues collected, expenses paid, reimbursements issued. It is the source of truth for the chapter's financial position and the basis for reports and audits. A clean, continuous ledger is what makes officer transitions and audits painless.

---

# Fiscal Year

Last updated August 9, 2026

_Budgeting & Accounting_

> The 12-month period a chapter uses for budgeting and financial reporting.

A fiscal year is the annual cycle for a chapter's finances, which may follow the academic year rather than the calendar year. Budgets, reserves, and reports are organized around it. Aligning the fiscal year with officer terms and the academic calendar simplifies planning and handoffs.

---

# Reimbursement

Last updated September 7, 2026

_Budgeting & Accounting_

> Repaying a member for an approved expense they paid out of pocket on the chapter's behalf.

A reimbursement returns money to a member who personally paid for something the chapter approved – event supplies, philanthropy costs, or travel. A proper reimbursement process requires a receipt, an approval, and a logged payout, creating an audit trail that protects both the member and the chapter.

---

# Expense Report

Last updated August 9, 2026

_Budgeting & Accounting_

> A documented request for reimbursement that itemizes a purchase and attaches a receipt.

An expense report is the submission a member files to be reimbursed: what was bought, how much, the category, and a receipt. The treasurer reviews and approves or rejects it. Standardizing expense reports keeps spending categorized, prevents fraud, and gives nationals or auditors a clear record.

---

# Collection Rate

Last updated August 9, 2026

_Budgeting & Accounting_

> The share of billed dues that a chapter has actually collected.

Collection rate is the percentage of total dues owed that members have paid (collected ÷ billed). It is the single clearest measure of a treasurer's effectiveness and the chapter's financial health. Automated reminders and payment plans are the most reliable ways to push the collection rate higher.

---

# Outstanding Balance

Last updated August 9, 2026

_Budgeting & Accounting_

> The amount a member still owes after any payments made so far.

An outstanding balance is what remains unpaid on a member's dues after partial payments are applied. It's the figure a member sees in their portal and the treasurer tracks for follow-up. The sum of all members' outstanding balances equals the chapter's accounts receivable.

---

# Line Item

Last updated September 7, 2026

_Budgeting & Accounting_

> A single entry for a specific income source or expense in a budget or ledger.

A line item is one row in a budget or ledger – for example 'Spring Formal: $4,000' or 'National Dues: $30,000.' Breaking a budget into clear line items makes it easy to see where money comes from and goes, compare planned vs. actual spending, and explain the budget to the chapter.

---

# Chapter Treasurer

Last updated September 7, 2026

_Chapter Finance_

> The officer responsible for a chapter's finances – collecting dues, paying bills, and keeping records.

The chapter treasurer manages the budget, collects dues, processes reimbursements, pays the chapter's obligations, and reports financial status to the chapter and nationals. It's one of the most demanding officer roles, and good tools and records are what let a treasurer hand off a clean system at the end of their term.

---

# VP of Finance

Last updated August 9, 2026

_Chapter Finance_

> The finance officer title used by many sororities and some councils, equivalent to a treasurer.

Vice President of Finance (VP Finance) is the common title for the chief financial officer in many sorority chapters and councils, holding the same responsibilities as a chapter treasurer: dues collection, budgeting, reimbursements, and reporting. The title varies by organization, but the role is the same.

---

# Philanthropy Budget

Last updated August 9, 2026

_Chapter Finance_

> The funds a chapter sets aside for charitable events and donations to its philanthropic causes.

A philanthropy budget covers the cost of running fundraisers and service events and, often, the chapter's own contributions to its cause. It's tracked separately from money raised for the charity, which is passed through rather than kept. Clear separation of philanthropy income and expenses is important for transparency and trust.

---

# Recruitment Budget

Last updated September 7, 2026

_Chapter Finance_

> The money allocated to recruiting new members – events, materials, and registration costs.

A recruitment budget funds the events, food, marketing, and materials used to recruit new members, plus any council registration fees. Because recruitment drives the chapter's future dues income, it's one of the highest-return budget lines – underfunding it can shrink the next pledge class and the budget that follows.

---

# Officer Transition

Last updated September 7, 2026

_Chapter Finance_

> The handoff of a role and its records from an outgoing officer to the incoming one.

Officer transition is the annual handover when a new exec board takes over. For finances, a good transition means the incoming treasurer inherits complete records – payment history, the ledger, reimbursements, and reports – instead of reconstructing them. Systems that retain history across turnover are what prevent the yearly 'start from scratch' problem.

---

# Financial Audit

Last updated September 7, 2026

_Chapter Finance_

> A review of a chapter's financial records to verify they're accurate and complete.

A financial audit is a check of the chapter's books – comparing the ledger, bank statements, and receipts to confirm everything reconciles. Audits may be run by the chapter, the advisor, or nationals, especially at officer transition. A continuous, well-documented ledger with receipts makes an audit fast instead of frightening.

---

# 501(c)(7)

Last updated August 9, 2026

_Chapter Finance_

> The US tax-exempt classification for social and recreational clubs, which many fraternities and sororities fall under.

501(c)(7) is the section of the US tax code covering nonprofit social clubs, the category most social fraternities and sororities use. It generally exempts member dues from federal income tax but limits how much income can come from nonmembers. Chapters should confirm their status and filing requirements with their nationals or an accountant, as rules vary.

---

# Parlor Fee

Last updated September 7, 2026

_Dues & Billing_

> A parlor fee is a charge billed to members who live outside the chapter house to cover their share of house upkeep, meals, and common spaces.

A parlor fee (sometimes called an out-of-house fee or house fee) is a charge billed to members who do not live in the chapter house. It covers their share of the facility's shared costs – common-area upkeep, utilities, meals, and events held at the house – since out-of-house members still use those spaces. Live-in members typically pay rent and a meal plan instead, so the parlor fee keeps facility costs fair across the whole chapter. Parlor fees are usually billed each semester alongside chapter dues.

---

# Dues collection that runs itself

Last updated September 7, 2026

Dueflow pricing: $0 platform fees for chapters and nationals forever. Members pay a small processing fee per payment.

> Collect dues with ACH, card, Apple Pay, Google Pay, and Klarna. Partial payments and payment plans are built in – and your chapter never pays a platform fee.

## Chasing payments is the worst part of being treasurer

Most treasurers spend hours every week sending Venmo requests, tracking who paid in a spreadsheet, and following up in the group chat. When members fall behind, the treasurer becomes the enforcer. Legacy platforms charge per-member fees that eat into the budget and make simple tasks slow.

## Set it up once and let it collect

Create a dues charge, set a deadline, and Dueflow handles the rest. Members pay however is easiest for them – ACH, card, Apple Pay, Google Pay, or Klarna – with no app to download. Every payment shows up on your dashboard in real time.

## Features

- **Every payment method members want**: ACH, credit and debit cards, Apple Pay, Google Pay, and Klarna buy-now-pay-later – so nobody has an excuse not to pay.
- **Partial payments & plans**: Members can pay what they can now and finish later, or split dues into a scheduled plan you control.
- **Deadline-based pricing**: Set early-bird, regular, and late tiers. Discounts and late fees apply automatically.
- **Automatic follow-up**: Email and SMS reminders chase outstanding dues on your schedule – and stop the moment a member pays.
- **Cash and check, recorded free**: Record cash, check, Venmo, or Zelle payments manually with zero fees, so every dollar lives in one system.
- **Zero platform fees**: Dueflow is free for chapters and nationals – your chapter keeps 100% of the dues it collects.

## FAQ

**Do members need to download an app?**

No. Members pay from a link in their browser – no app and no account required.

**What does it cost our chapter?**

Nothing. Dueflow charges chapters and nationals $0 in platform fees. Members pay a small processing fee at checkout.

**What are the processing fees for members?**

ACH is $2 on payments under $100, $10 from $100–$399, and $15 at $400 or more. Card payments are $5 under $100, then $10 + 3.3% and $15 + 3.3% in the higher tiers. Klarna is a flat 6%. Fees are always shown before the member pays.

**Can members pay in installments?**

Yes. If you enable payment plans, members can split dues into smaller scheduled payments instead of paying all at once. You can also allow open-ended partial payments.

**What about members who pay in cash or by check?**

Record cash, check, Venmo, or Zelle payments manually for free. The member's balance updates immediately and the payment appears in your books alongside everything else.

**How do late fees and early-bird discounts work?**

Set up to three pricing tiers on any charge – early-bird, regular, and late. Dueflow applies the right price automatically based on when the member pays, so discounts and late fees enforce themselves.

**How fast can we start collecting?**

Most chapters go from signup to their first charge in about five minutes: import your roster, connect your bank, create a charge, and send it.

# Reminders that follow up so you don't have to

Last updated September 7, 2026

Dueflow pricing: $0 platform fees for chapters and nationals forever. Members pay a small processing fee per payment.

> Set your schedule once. Dueflow sends email and SMS reminders automatically – and stops the moment a member pays.

## Following up is awkward and never-ending

Nobody likes texting their friends to ask for money. So reminders slip, deadlines pass, and collection rates suffer. Doing it manually means the treasurer is on the hook to remember who to nudge and when.

## A reminder cadence that runs on autopilot

Choose when reminders go out and Dueflow sends them over email and SMS on your schedule. The moment a member pays, their reminders stop automatically – no awkward double-texts, no manual list to maintain.

## Features

- **Email + SMS on your schedule**: Reminders go out automatically at the intervals you set, across both email and text.
- **Auto-stop on payment**: As soon as a member pays, their reminders stop – so paid members are never bothered.
- **Fully configurable cadence**: Pick a preset schedule or set a custom interval – how often and how many times reminders send, right up to and past the deadline.
- **Balance-aware messages**: Reminders always reflect the member's current balance, so partial payers only hear about what's left.
- **Deadline-aware urgency**: When a charge has late-fee pricing, reminders warn members before the deadline hits – so the late fee is never a surprise.
- **Higher collection rates**: Consistent, automatic follow-up is the single biggest driver of on-time payment.

## FAQ

**Do reminders go out by text or email?**

Both. Members receive reminders over email and SMS so nothing gets missed.

**Will members who already paid still get reminders?**

No. Reminders stop automatically the moment a member completes payment – including payments you record manually, like cash or check.

**Can I control how often reminders send?**

Yes. You set the full cadence – choose a preset or define a custom interval, and decide how often reminders go out.

**What happens if a member only pays part of their balance?**

Their reminders continue, but always for the remaining balance only. Once the balance hits zero, reminders stop.

**Do reminders keep going after the deadline?**

Yes. Reminders continue on your schedule until the member pays, and if the charge has late-fee pricing, the updated amount is reflected automatically.

**Does this cost the chapter anything?**

No. Reminders – including SMS – are part of Dueflow and free for chapters and nationals.

# Your chapter's finances, in real time

Last updated September 7, 2026

Dueflow pricing: $0 platform fees for chapters and nationals forever. Members pay a small processing fee per payment.

> Collection rates, revenue trends, and member payment behavior at a glance. Export to Excel, CSV, or QuickBooks whenever you need to.

## Spreadsheets can't tell you what's actually happening

When your books live in a spreadsheet, you never really know where you stand. Who's paid? How much is outstanding? Are you on track versus last semester? Answering those questions means hours of manual reconciliation.

- **Revenue trends**: Track revenue over time and compare against previous terms to spot problems early.

**Can I see store sales separately from dues?**

Yes. Revenue is broken out by source, so store and merchandise income never muddies your dues collection rate.

**Can nationals see chapter analytics?**

Yes. Nationals get free cross-chapter oversight with comparative analytics across every chapter on Dueflow.

**What happens when a new treasurer takes over?**

They inherit the full system – every payment, member history, and report stays intact. Officer transitions stop meaning lost records.

# Sell merch and tickets without leaving Dueflow

Last updated September 17, 2026

Dueflow pricing: $0 platform fees for chapters and nationals forever. Members pay a small processing fee per payment.

> Run your chapter store for apparel, event tickets, and fundraisers with built-in inventory tracking – no separate Shopify or Venmo needed.

## Merch and ticket sales are a mess of DMs and cash

Selling rush shirts or formal tickets usually means a spreadsheet, a Venmo handle, and a lot of manual tracking. Money gets lost, sizes get mixed up, and reconciling it all against the chapter budget is painful.

## A real storefront built into your platform

List apparel, tickets, and fundraiser items in a proper store with inventory tracking and instant checkout. Sales flow straight into the same dashboard as your dues, so every dollar is accounted for automatically.

## Features

- **Merch, tickets & fundraisers**: Sell apparel, event tickets, and fundraiser items from one branded storefront.
- **Inventory tracking**: Track stock and sizes automatically so you never oversell a run of shirts.
- **A link you can post anywhere**: Share your store link in the group chat, on Instagram, or with parents and alumni – anyone can buy.
- **Instant checkout**: Buyers check out with the same payment methods members use for dues – no Venmo required.
- **Sales in your dashboard**: Store revenue lands in the same real-time dashboard as dues, broken out as its own income source.
- **No storefront fees**: No monthly Shopify bill and no platform fees – the store is part of Dueflow, free for chapters.

## FAQ

**How do we sell fraternity merch online for our chapter?**

List your apparel with sizes and stock per size (plus event tickets or fundraiser items) in the Dueflow store, then share the public store link in the group chat or with parents and alumni. Buyers pay by card, Apple Pay, or Google Pay with no login or app, inventory decrements automatically so you can't oversell a run, and every sale lands in the same books as your dues. There is no monthly storefront fee; buyers cover a small processing fee at checkout.

**Do I need Shopify or a separate store?**

No. The store is built into Dueflow, so there's nothing else to set up or pay for.

**Can I sell event tickets?**

Yes. Sell formal tickets, event admissions, and fundraiser items alongside merch – with fixed quantities that stop sales when you sell out.

**Does it track inventory?**

Yes. Stock and sizing are tracked automatically on every order so you don't oversell.

**Can parents and alumni buy from the store?**

Yes. Your store is a public link – anyone can buy without creating an account or downloading an app.

**How do store sales show up in my books?**

Every sale lands in your dashboard in real time as store revenue, separate from dues, and is included in your exports.

**What does the store cost?**

Nothing for your chapter. Like the rest of Dueflow, there are no platform or monthly fees – buyers pay a small processing fee at checkout.

# Fundraising that lives with the rest of your money

Last updated September 17, 2026

Dueflow pricing: $0 platform fees for chapters and nationals forever. Members pay a small processing fee per payment.

> Launch a branded giving page, run campaigns with real goals, and keep every donor, gift, and follow-up in the same platform you collect dues in.

## Alumni giving gets rebuilt from scratch every year

Most chapters fundraise out of a GoFundMe link, a Venmo handle, and a spreadsheet an alumnus made four exec boards ago. Nobody knows who gave last year, who has never been asked, or who stopped giving. Crowdfunding sites take a cut and keep the donor list, and when the philanthropy chair graduates, the relationships graduate with them.

## Fraternity fundraising software with a giving page, a donor list, and the follow-up in one place

Turn on Fundraising and your chapter gets its own branded giving page, campaigns with goals and deadlines, and a donor record that keeps every gift, group, and note. Donations settle into the same dashboard as dues, so the treasurer sees one number for what the chapter actually raised.

## Features

- **Your own branded giving page**: A public page at yourchapter.give.dueflow.co with your logo and colors. Donors give by card, bank transfer, Apple Pay, Google Pay, or Klarna – no account, no app.
- **Campaigns with real goals**: Set a goal, a deadline, a story, and suggested gift amounts. A live progress bar and countdown do the persuading for you.
- **Recurring monthly giving**: Donors can make any gift monthly. Every renewal is recorded automatically and rolls into campaign totals and lifetime giving.
- **A donor CRM that survives turnover**: Donors, groups, chapters, lifetime giving, and notes stay with the organization – not in a graduating senior's spreadsheet.
- **Segmented outreach**: Email everyone, a group, a chapter, or only lapsed donors – from your own giving address, with unsubscribes handled for you.
- **Leaderboards that create competition**: Rank chapters against each other and show top donors by amount, by rank only, or not at all – you control how public giving is.

## FAQ

**What should fraternity fundraising software include?**

Fraternity fundraising software should give a chapter a branded giving page donors can use without creating an account, campaigns with real goals, recurring monthly gifts, a donor record that survives officer turnover, and a way to attribute each gift to a specific chapter for nationals. Dueflow includes all of these with zero platform fees, and every gift lands in the same account and books as your dues.

**What does fundraising cost our chapter?**

Nothing. Like the rest of Dueflow, there are no platform or monthly fees. Donors cover a small processing fee at checkout by default, so the gift amount is what reaches your account.

**Do donors need an account to give?**

No. They open your giving page, choose an amount, and pay by card, bank transfer, Apple Pay, Google Pay, or Klarna. A receipt is emailed to them automatically.

**Can donors give monthly instead of once?**

Yes. Any gift can be made recurring at checkout. Each monthly renewal is recorded as its own gift, so campaign totals, leaderboards, and lifetime giving all stay accurate.

**Can we bring our existing alumni list over?**

Yes. Upload your donor spreadsheet and, separately, your history of past gifts. Dueflow's AI parser maps the columns for you, so lifetime giving is correct from the first day.

**Can nationals see which chapter a gift came from?**

Yes. Donors can attribute a gift to a specific chapter, and a chapter leaderboard ranks them against each other – which is usually the point.

**What if a donor doesn't want their name public?**

They can give anonymously, which hides them from public feeds and leaderboards while still crediting them internally. You can also set a campaign's donor leaderboard to show ranks without amounts, or hide it entirely.

**How do we turn fundraising on?**

Fundraising is enabled per organization. Get in contact and we'll switch it on for your chapter or nationals – the payment setup you already use for dues carries over.

# Reimbursements with a receipt for every dollar

Last updated September 7, 2026

Dueflow pricing: $0 platform fees for chapters and nationals forever. Members pay a small processing fee per payment.

> Members upload receipts, officers approve with one click, and payouts go out automatically – with a full audit trail from start to finish.

## Paying people back is slow and impossible to track

Reimbursements usually mean a pile of photographed receipts, Venmo requests, and no record of what was approved or paid. When it's time to close the books or hand off to the next officer, nobody can reconstruct where the money went.

## A clean approval flow with a built-in paper trail

Members submit a receipt in seconds, officers review and approve in one click, and the payout is sent automatically. Every step is logged, so you always have a complete audit trail for the chapter and nationals.

## Features

- **One-tap receipt upload**: Members snap a photo of a receipt and submit a reimbursement in seconds.
- **One-click approvals**: Officers review and approve or deny requests without leaving the dashboard.
- **Automatic payouts**: Approved reimbursements pay out automatically to the member's bank account.
- **Full audit trail**: Every submission, approval, denial, and payout is logged with who did it and when.
- **Status members can see**: Members track their request from submitted to paid in their own portal – no "did you see my Venmo request?" texts.
- **Nationals reimbursements too**: National organizations can reimburse chapters – or individual members directly – through the same flow.

## FAQ

**How do members get paid back?**

Approved reimbursements are paid out automatically to the member's bank account.

**Who can approve reimbursements?**

Officers you designate can review and approve or deny requests from the dashboard. Every decision is logged with their name.

**Is there a record for audits?**

Yes. Every request keeps a full audit trail – the receipt, each status change, who made it, and when. Edits preserve the previous values.

**Can members see the status of their request?**

Yes. Members track their reimbursement from submitted to paid in their own portal, so nobody has to chase the treasurer for updates.

**What if a request should be denied?**

Officers can deny with a note explaining why. The member sees the reason, and the denial is logged like any other decision.

**Can nationals use reimbursements?**

Yes. Nationals can reimburse chapters, or pay an individual member of a chapter directly – all through the same approval flow and audit trail.

# Every member gets their own dashboard

Last updated September 7, 2026

Dueflow pricing: $0 platform fees for chapters and nationals forever. Members pay a small processing fee per payment.

> Members view dues, track payments, submit reimbursements, and download receipts – all from a portal built for them.

## Members have no idea what they owe

Without a place to check, members constantly ask the treasurer what they owe, whether a payment went through, or where their receipt is. Every one of those questions is another interruption for an already-busy officer.

## Give members self-service and give yourself time back

Each member logs into their own portal to see exactly what they owe, review their payment history, submit reimbursements, and pull receipts on demand. Fewer questions for you, more clarity for them.

## Features

- **Personal dashboard**: Each member sees their balance, upcoming deadlines, and payment history in one place.
- **Pay from anywhere**: Members pay outstanding dues from the portal on any device, no app required.
- **Self-serve receipts**: Members download a PDF receipt for any payment without asking the treasurer.
- **Submit reimbursements**: Members request reimbursements and track their status right from the portal.
- **Deadlines front and center**: Upcoming due dates – and any early-bird discounts about to expire – are visible the moment they log in.
- **Balances that stay current**: Partial payments, plans, and manual payments all update the member's balance instantly.

## FAQ

**Do members need an account?**

Members get a lightweight portal login to view dues and history, but paying a single charge never requires an account.

**Can members get their own receipts?**

Yes. Members can download a PDF receipt for any payment themselves, anytime – even long after the semester ends.

**Can members submit reimbursements here?**

Yes. Members submit reimbursement requests with a receipt photo and track their status from submitted to paid, all in the portal.

**Is there an app to download?**

No. The portal is a responsive web app that works in any browser on any device.

**Do balances reflect partial payments?**

Yes. Partial payments, payment plans, and manually recorded payments all update the member's balance in real time.

**Can members pay directly from the portal?**

Yes. Members can pay any outstanding charge from the portal with ACH, card, Apple Pay, Google Pay, or Klarna.

# Let members pay their way

Last updated September 7, 2026

Dueflow pricing: $0 platform fees for chapters and nationals forever. Members pay a small processing fee per payment.

> Members can pay part of what they owe now and come back later, or clear every outstanding charge at once with lower combined fees.

## All-or-nothing payments leave money on the table

When members can only pay a bill in full, the ones who can't afford it all at once simply don't pay – and fall further behind. Meanwhile members with several charges have to check out over and over, racking up fees each time.

## Flexible payments that actually get you paid

Partial payments let members chip away at a balance instead of putting it off. Bulk checkout lets members with multiple charges settle everything in one transaction, with lower combined processing fees. Either way, more dues get collected.

## Features

- **Partial payments**: Members pay what they can now and return to finish the balance later.
- **Bulk checkout**: Members clear every outstanding charge in a single transaction.
- **Lower combined fees**: Paying multiple charges at once means one transaction instead of several – and a lower total processing fee.
- **Scheduled payment plans**: Split a charge into installments on dates you control, agreed up front.
- **Balance-aware reminders**: Reminders always reflect what's left, so partial payers are only nudged about their remaining balance.
- **Better collection rates**: Flexibility removes the excuse to wait, so more members pay on time.

## FAQ

**Can members pay only part of a balance?**

Yes. Members can make a partial payment now and come back to finish the rest. Their remaining balance is tracked automatically.

**How does bulk payment save on fees?**

Paying several charges in one checkout means one transaction instead of several, which lowers the combined processing fee the member pays.

**Do I have to enable this?**

Partial payments and plans are configurable per charge, so you decide exactly what options members see on each bill.

**What's the difference between partial payments and a payment plan?**

Partial payments are open-ended – the member chooses how much to pay and when. A payment plan splits the charge into scheduled installments on dates you set up front.

**How do reminders work with partial payments?**

Reminders continue until the balance is fully paid, but always reflect only the remaining amount – members are never asked for money they've already sent.

**Does my dashboard show partially paid members?**

Yes. You see exactly who is paid in full, who is partway there, and how much each member still owes, in real time.

# Ask your finances anything

Last updated September 7, 2026

Dueflow pricing: $0 platform fees for chapters and nationals forever. Members pay a small processing fee per payment.

> Get instant answers about outstanding dues, payment rates, and trends – in plain English, no reports to build.

## The answers are in your data, but buried

You know the information exists somewhere in your dashboard, but pulling it out means filtering, exporting, and doing math. Simple questions like 'who still owes for formal?' shouldn't take twenty minutes.

## A finance assistant that just answers

Ask Dueflow's AI assistant a question in plain English and get an instant, accurate answer drawn straight from your chapter's live data – outstanding balances, collection rates, revenue trends, and more.

## Features

- **Plain-English answers**: Ask questions the way you'd ask a person and get a clear answer back.
- **Instant insights**: Skip the filtering and exporting – answers come back in seconds.
- **Grounded in live data**: Every answer is pulled from your chapter's real-time finances, not a guess.
- **Answers about members**: Ask who still owes, who's paid, and how much is outstanding across the chapter.
- **Conversational follow-ups**: Drill deeper with follow-up questions – the assistant keeps the context of the conversation.
- **You stay in control**: The assistant is scoped to your organization's data, and it never changes your books without your explicit approval.

## FAQ

**What kinds of questions can I ask?**

Anything about your finances – outstanding dues, collection rates, revenue trends, individual member balances, and comparisons across terms.

**Where do the answers come from?**

Answers are generated from your chapter's live data at the moment you ask, so they always reflect the current state of your books.

**Do I need to know how to build reports?**

No. Just ask in plain English – there's nothing to configure.

**Can the assistant see other chapters' data?**

No. The assistant is strictly scoped to your organization – it can only read the data you already have access to.

**Can the AI change my books?**

Not on its own. The assistant answers questions from your data, and anything that would modify your records requires your explicit approval first.

**Does the assistant cost extra?**

No. Like everything in Dueflow, the AI assistant is included at no cost to chapters and nationals.

# Free virtual credit cards for chapter spending

Last updated October 9, 2026

Dueflow pricing: $0 platform fees for chapters and nationals forever. Members pay a small processing fee per payment.

> Issue virtual cards to officers, set spending limits, review card activity with merchant details in Dueflow, and earn 0.5% cashback on completed purchases once your organization's cashback is set up.

## Chapter spending happens on personal cards

Today, officers front chapter expenses on their own cards and wait to be paid back. There's no spending limit, no visibility until the reimbursement request comes in, and no easy way to tie a charge to a receipt. It's slow for officers and a black box for the treasurer.

## Give officers cards you control

Chapter admins can issue virtual cards to officers and choose a daily, weekly, monthly, or one-time spending limit, with an optional per-transaction limit. Card transactions appear with merchant details in Dueflow, where treasurers can assign a finance category and attach receipts. Card changes and detail reveals are recorded in the audit log.

## Features

- **Free virtual cards**: Issue virtual cards for officers with no Dueflow monthly fee or per-card charge.
- **0.5% cashback**: Once your organization's cashback is set up, completed card purchases earn 0.5% cashback, requested monthly into your chapter's Whop balance.
- **Cards for approved organizations**: Complete Whop verification and card-issuing approval, then create cards for officers or chapter expenses.
- **Flexible spend limits**: Set daily, weekly, monthly, one-time, or per-transaction limits so every card matches its budget.
- **Card transaction feed**: View card transactions and merchant details in your dashboard.
- **Decline alerts**: Know immediately when a card is declined, so officers are never stuck at checkout wondering why.
- **Transaction itemization**: Assign a finance category, add a memo, and attach receipts to each card charge.
- **Audit logging**: Every issue, reveal, freeze, and limit change is recorded in a complete audit trail.
- **Member portal access**: Members see their card in the member portal and can add it to Apple Wallet by entering the card details manually.

## FAQ

**How do I issue a virtual card?**

Open Cards in your dashboard. Once your organization has card access and Whop issuing approval, choose a member or purpose and set spending limits. A card may need additional setup before it becomes active.

**How do members get access to their card?**

Assign a card to a member to make it available in their member portal. Members sign in and re-authenticate before viewing full card details. Whop issuing approval is handled through the organization's verified representative.

**Can every chapter issue cards?**

Cards require a Whop account and approval from its card issuer. Eligibility depends on the verified representative's home address, and some states and countries are not supported. The Cards page shows your organization's setup status.

**Does a one-time limit make a card expire?**

No. A one-time limit is the total the card can spend over its lifetime. It does not set an expiry date or cancel the card after one purchase. Freeze or cancel a card when it is no longer needed.

**Can members add the card to Apple Wallet?**

Yes. Open the card in the member portal, then in the Wallet app choose Add Card, select Debit or Credit Card, tap Enter Card Details Manually, and type in the card number, expiration date, and security code.

**Why was a card declined?**

Check that the card is active, the purchase fits its limits, and your chapter has enough spendable USD on Whop. A higher spending limit does not add funds. Contact support if the decline continues.

**Do virtual cards cost anything?**

No. Virtual cards are included free with Dueflow – no monthly fee, no per-card cost, and no Dueflow fee on card spend.

**Do card purchases earn cashback?**

Yes. Completed purchases earn 0.5% cashback once your organization's cashback is set up. Dueflow requests payouts monthly into your chapter's Whop balance. The Cards page shows cashback that is pending, ready for the next payout, and already requested. Purchases made before cashback starts may not earn it.

**How does itemization work?**

Card transactions show merchant details. A treasurer can assign a finance category, add a memo, and attach receipts. These changes are recorded in the audit trail.

**How are card details kept secure?**

Full card numbers are revealed only after you re-authenticate, are never stored by Dueflow, and every reveal is recorded in the audit log.

# Form 990 preparation built into your books

Last updated September 7, 2026

Dueflow pricing: $0 platform fees for chapters and nationals forever. Members pay a small processing fee per payment.

> Deadline tracking, exemption monitoring, guided workpapers, and CPA review – so your chapter's return is prepared from the records you already keep, and filed on time by your officer.

## Chapters lose tax-exempt status over a form nobody told them about

Most Greek chapters are 501(c)(7) organizations that must file a Form 990 series return every year – and many new treasurers have never heard of it. Miss three consecutive years and the IRS automatically revokes your chapter's tax-exempt status. Because the deadline depends on your fiscal year and the filing history lives with whoever was treasurer three officers ago, chapters routinely find out about the problem only after it's happened.

## Your return, prepared from your books

Dueflow tracks your chapter's fiscal year and filing deadlines, alerts the current treasurer before each due date, and monitors your exemption status against IRS records year-round. Because your revenue already flows through Dueflow, the gross-receipts numbers that determine whether you file a 990-N, 990-EZ, or full 990 are computed from your ledger – Dueflow assembles the workpapers, a CPA can review and sign off, and your officer files the return.

## Features

- **Deadline alerts**: Filing reminders based on your chapter's actual fiscal year, sent to whoever holds the treasurer seat today.
- **Exemption monitoring**: Year-round tracking of your chapter's tax-exempt status against the IRS auto-revocation list and Publication 78, with early warnings before revocation risk builds.
- **Workpapers from your books**: Gross receipts, revenue-line, and balance-sheet workpapers built from your Dueflow ledger – the inputs a 990 needs, without spreadsheet archaeology.
- **Guided preparation & CPA review**: Plain-English guidance on which form applies (990-N, 990-EZ, or full 990), what goes in it, and a review queue where a CPA can check and sign off before your officer files.
- **History that survives turnover**: Filing records live with the chapter, not with whoever was treasurer three officers ago.
- **Nationals-wide visibility**: National organizations see filing status across every chapter, before revocation risk builds anywhere.

## FAQ

**Who actually files the return?**

Your chapter does. Dueflow prepares the workpapers from your books and a CPA can review and sign off, but the return is signed and filed by your chapter's officer – Dueflow is not a tax-return transmitter and does not file on your behalf.

**Does my chapter really need to file a Form 990?**

If your chapter is a tax-exempt organization (most are 501(c)(7) social clubs), the IRS requires an annual Form 990 series filing. Chapters with gross receipts of $50,000 or less can usually file the simple 990-N e-Postcard; larger chapters file the 990-EZ or full 990.

**What happens if a chapter doesn't file?**

The IRS automatically revokes tax-exempt status after three consecutive missed filings. Reinstatement is possible but slow and paperwork-heavy – deadline tracking exists to make sure you never need it.

**Will Dueflow file the return for us?**

No – Dueflow prepares, tracks, and monitors; your officer files. E-filing a 990-series return requires an IRS-authorized e-file provider, and preparer rules keep the signing responsibility with your chapter (or a CPA you engage). Dueflow makes the preparation and review painless and keeps the evidence.

**Is my chapter part of a national's group exemption?**

Many chapters are tax-exempt through their national organization's group exemption letter rather than their own IRS determination. If so, your national has its own annual supervision obligations over your chapter under Rev. Proc. 2026-8 – see our Tax Filing & Compliance page for how the two sides fit together.

---

# Group exemption compliance, chapter by chapter

Last updated August 31, 2026

Dueflow pricing: $0 platform fees for chapters and nationals forever. Members pay a small processing fee per payment.

> Rev. Proc. 2026-8 makes every national organization prove it actively supervises its chapters. Dueflow gives chapters the tools to prepare their own returns – and gives nationals the oversight, evidence, and SGRI record the IRS now requires.

## The IRS rewrote the rules for group exemptions

Most fraternity and sorority chapters are tax-exempt through their national's group exemption letter – not their own IRS determination. Under Revenue Procedure 2026-8, that arrangement now comes with teeth: the national must exercise documented general supervision over every covered chapter – annually obtaining and reviewing its finances and activities, verifying its 990-series filings, providing written compliance education, and submitting the Supplemental Group Ruling Information (SGRI) each year. Nationals have until January 22, 2027 to comply. And if more than half of a group's chapters are auto-revoked for failing to file, the IRS can terminate the entire group exemption.

## Both sides of the obligation, in one platform

Chapters prepare their own 990-series returns in Dueflow – workpapers built from their books, CPA review, filing history, exemption monitoring. Nationals get a live compliance dashboard over every chapter plus their own annual workflow: the subordinate registry, supervision log, compliance education distribution with retained copies, chapter-reported financials for off-platform and 990-N chapters, and the SGRI lists ready for each year's submission window.

## Features

- **Chapters prepare their own returns**: Each chapter's 990-N/990-EZ determination, workpapers, and filing history are built from its own books – a CPA reviews, the chapter officer signs and files.
- **National compliance dashboard**: Filing status, exemption status, and supervision coverage for every chapter in the group – before revocation risk builds anywhere.
- **Supervision evidence log**: Record every financial review, activity review, filing check, and education touch per chapter, with per-year gap detection – the record §4.02(3) asks about.
- **Compliance education, distributed**: Compose the required annual compliance communication once; Dueflow emails it to every chapter's admins and retains the exact copy and distribution list as evidence.
- **Chapter-reported financials**: Collect gross receipts and member vs. nonmember income from chapters that file the 990-N or keep books elsewhere – with 501(c)(7) 35%/15% review indicators computed for you.
- **SGRI, ready every year**: Additions, removals, changes, and auto-revocations tracked all year, so the annual SGRI submission is an export inside its 30–90 day window – not a scramble.

## FAQ

**Does the national file its chapters' returns?**

No. Each chapter files its own 990-series return. The national's job under Rev. Proc. 2026-8 is supervision: annually obtaining and reviewing each chapter's financial and filing information, educating chapters in writing, maintaining the directory, and submitting the SGRI. Dueflow supports both sides.

**Does Dueflow file returns with the IRS?**

No. Dueflow prepares workpapers, determines the right form, tracks deadlines, and supports CPA review – but returns are signed and filed by the chapter's officer or its CPA. Dueflow is not an IRS e-file transmitter.

**Is it true we lose our group exemption if chapters don't file?**

Not at a fixed threshold. A chapter that misses three consecutive annual filings is automatically revoked, and the IRS can terminate a group exemption if more than 50% of its subordinates are revoked. The day-to-day requirement is different: documented general supervision of every covered chapter, every year.

**What is the SGRI?**

The Supplemental Group Ruling Information – the annual update a national sends the IRS listing subordinates added to or removed from the group ruling, name/address changes, and auto-revocations, due 30 to 90 days before the close of the national's accounting year. Dueflow tracks the lists all year and flags the submission window.

**What about chapters that don't keep their books in Dueflow?**

Filing-status oversight works regardless – exemption and revocation checks come from IRS public records. For financial supervision, nationals can record chapter-reported figures (gross receipts, member vs. nonmember income) directly, so off-platform and 990-N chapters are covered in the same evidence record.

**When do we need to be compliant?**

Rev. Proc. 2026-8 took effect January 20, 2026, with a transition period ending January 22, 2027. Nationals should be exercising and documenting general supervision – and have their SGRI process in order – before that date.

# Collections for serious non-payers

Last updated September 7, 2026

Dueflow pricing: $0 platform fees for chapters and nationals forever. Members pay a small processing fee per payment.

> When reminders, payment plans, and late fees aren't enough, escalate unpaid balances to a licensed collections partner – on your terms. Coming soon.

## Some balances outlast every reminder

Most members pay once reminders and payment plans make it easy. But nearly every chapter carries a few balances that survive graduation – members who went inactive, moved out, or simply decided the chapter would give up first. Today those debts either get written off or turn into months of personal messages nobody on exec wants to send, and the chapter's budget quietly absorbs the loss.

## A last resort that actually exists

Dueflow will let you escalate seriously delinquent balances to a licensed, FDCPA-compliant collections partner directly from your dashboard – with you deciding which balances qualify, when escalation happens, and what gets resolved. Every step stays documented in the member's payment record, and recovered funds flow back to the chapter like any other payment. This is on our roadmap – join the early-access list to be first in line.

## Features

- **You control escalation**: Set the thresholds – how overdue, how large – and explicitly approve every balance before it's sent to collections.
- **Licensed and compliant**: Escalated balances are handled by a licensed, FDCPA-compliant collections partner – not by exec members sending texts.
- **Aging balance tracking**: See which balances are 30, 60, or 90+ days overdue so escalation decisions are based on data, not memory.
- **Every step documented**: Reminders sent, plans offered, escalation approved, funds recovered – the full history lives on the member's record.
- **Fair warning first**: Members get clear notice and a final chance to start a payment plan before anything is escalated.
- **Recovered funds flow back**: Money the partner recovers lands in your books like any other payment – reconciled automatically.

## FAQ

**Is this available today?**

Not yet – collections support is on the Dueflow roadmap. Join the early-access list to be notified when it launches. Automated reminders, late fees, and payment plans are available today and resolve the vast majority of overdue balances.

**Who actually handles the collections?**

A licensed, FDCPA-compliant third-party collections partner. Your officers never have to make collection calls, and the process follows consumer-protection rules from start to finish.

**Can we choose which balances get escalated?**

Yes – nothing is escalated automatically. You set the criteria and approve each balance individually, so the chapter stays in control of a sensitive decision.

**Isn't sending a member to collections harsh?**

It's a last resort, and most chapters never need it. But having a real escalation path changes behavior earlier: balances get taken seriously while they're still easy to resolve with a payment plan.

# Every chapter's money, on one screen

Last updated September 7, 2026

Dueflow pricing: $0 platform fees for chapters and nationals forever. Members pay a small processing fee per payment.

> Headquarters sees what each chapter has collected, what's still outstanding, and who to call about it – without asking 40 treasurers for a spreadsheet.

## Nationals find out about a problem chapter a semester late

Headquarters usually learns how a chapter is doing when the report is due – a spreadsheet emailed by a 20-year-old treasurer who inherited the books three weeks ago. By the time a collection problem shows up in that file, the semester is over, the money is a year old, and the officers who let it slide have graduated. Meanwhile, every chapter runs a different tool, so nothing rolls up and nothing is comparable.

## One roof over every chapter, with the detail still intact

Chapters run their own books in Dueflow, and headquarters gets a live view across all of them: collected, outstanding, member counts, and payment rate per chapter. Open any chapter to see its roster and every payment behind the number, bill it directly for national dues, or email its treasurer – all without logging in as them.

## Features

- **A live card for every chapter**: Collected, outstanding, member count, and payment rate for each chapter, color-coded so the ones that need attention surface first.
- **Rollups that actually add up**: Organization-wide totals, average payment rate, and outstanding history over time – including multi-currency chapters, kept separate rather than mashed together.
- **Drill into any chapter**: Open a chapter for its roster, its payments, and its per-member status. Export the roster when someone upstream asks for a file.
- **Bill chapters directly**: Invoice a chapter for national dues, insurance, or per-member assessments the same way chapters bill members – with the same reminders behind it.
- **Reach the right treasurer**: Email a chapter's treasurer from the chapter card, and let automated reminders handle the follow-up on anything the chapter owes.
- **Invite chapters, archive the rest**: Send a chapter an invitation and it onboards itself. Archive a closed or suspended chapter to take it out of your totals without losing its history.

## FAQ

**Does headquarters control our chapter's bank account?**

No. Each chapter connects its own bank account and keeps its own money. Nationals see totals, rosters, and payment history – they don't move a chapter's funds.

**What does Dueflow cost nationals?**

Nothing. There are no platform fees, per-chapter fees, or per-member fees for chapters or nationals. Members pay a small processing fee at checkout.

**Can nationals bill chapters through Dueflow?**

Yes. Create a payment against a chapter for national dues, insurance, or assessments. It behaves like any other payment – ACH or card, reminders, partial payments, and receipts.

**What if only some of our chapters use Dueflow?**

That's fine. You'll see the chapters that are on the platform, and you can invite the rest whenever they're ready – each one onboards itself from an invitation.

**Can we export chapter data?**

Yes. Rosters export from the chapter page, and the Developer API can sync chapters, members, and payments into your own systems.

**What happens when a chapter closes?**

Archive it. The chapter drops out of your active totals but its members and payment history stay intact for reference.

# A budget that updates itself from your bank

Last updated September 7, 2026

Dueflow pricing: $0 platform fees for chapters and nationals forever. Members pay a small processing fee per payment.

> Link the chapter's bank accounts and every transaction imports on its own. Drop each one into a budget bucket and spent, remaining, and cash on hand stay current without a spreadsheet.

## The budget is a spreadsheet nobody has opened since August

Most chapters plan a semester budget once, in a spreadsheet, and then spend the semester in a different system entirely: the bank's website. Nobody knows what's left in the formal bucket until someone exports a statement and types it in – usually the treasurer, usually the week the money is already gone. When the officers turn over, the spreadsheet goes with them, and the new treasurer starts by reverse-engineering last term from transaction descriptions.

## The bank feed and the budget in one place

Link your accounts once and Dueflow imports balances and transactions continuously. Build buckets for the things you actually spend on, assign each transaction to a bucket as it lands, and every bucket shows allocated, spent, and remaining from real bank activity – not from what someone remembered to enter.

## Features

- **Bank accounts linked in a minute**: Connect through Plaid the same way you'd link a bank to Venmo. Checking, savings, and credit cards come in with live balances, and your bank login never touches Dueflow.
- **Transactions arrive on their own**: New activity syncs continuously, with merchant names attached. Pending charges show up immediately and settle into their posted version without duplicating.
- **Categorize once, split when you need to**: Assign a transaction to a bucket, or split one charge across several when a single Costco run covered formal and philanthropy. Internal transfers get marked so they never count as spend.
- **Envelope budgets on your calendar**: Monthly, semester, academic-year, or a custom range. Income and expense buckets each get an allocation, an optional officer who owns it, and a note explaining the number.
- **Spent and remaining, always current**: Every bucket's progress is computed from categorized transactions in the budget period, and unallocated cash is called out so you know what isn't spoken for yet.
- **Ask instead of clicking**: The AI finance assistant reads your budgets and per-bucket spend, and can draft or adjust allocations – with your approval before anything changes.

## FAQ

**Which banks can we connect?**

Bank linking runs through Plaid, which supports most US banks and credit unions – the same connection flow you've used to link a bank to Venmo or Cash App.

**Can Dueflow move money out of our linked account?**

No. The connection is read-only: balances and transactions come in, nothing goes out. Collecting dues and paying reimbursements run through your payment setup, separately.

**Do you store our online banking login?**

No. Credentials are entered with Plaid, never with Dueflow, and we only hold a token that lets us read the accounts you approved.

**What if one charge covers two different budget buckets?**

Split it. Assign part of the amount to each bucket and both update by their share – the split is what spend is measured on, so nothing double-counts.

**Do Dueflow payouts show up as income automatically?**

A payout appears as an incoming transaction on the linked account. Categorize it to an income bucket, or mark it as a transfer if you're tracking dues revenue elsewhere and don't want it counted twice.

**What happens when the bank asks us to log in again?**

The connection shows a reconnect prompt, balances are flagged as stale until you do, and nothing already imported is lost when you reconnect.

**How do we get access?**

The Finance workspace is enabled per organization during rollout. Get in contact and we'll turn it on for your chapter – there's no additional cost.

# Your payouts, already categorized in QuickBooks

Last updated September 7, 2026

Dueflow pricing: $0 platform fees for chapters and nationals forever. Members pay a small processing fee per payment.

> Connect QuickBooks Online once and every Dueflow payout posts as a deposit whose lines match the bank statement – dues, store, donations, and chapter billing, split correctly.

## One deposit, five kinds of money

A single Dueflow payout can contain dues, store sales, donations, and chapter billing – minus a payout fee, plus whatever was collected before the last withdrawal. QuickBooks sees one number hitting the bank. Somebody, usually the treasurer or the accountant billing by the hour, then reverse-engineers the split from exports and hopes it reconciles. Do that twice a month for a year and the books tell a story nobody trusts.

## The split comes with the deposit

Map your QuickBooks chart of accounts once – a bank account, an income account per category, and an expense account for payout fees. From then on, each payout can be posted to QuickBooks as a deposit with a line per income category, a negative line for a fee you paid, and a balancing line for carryover, adding up to exactly what landed in the bank.

## Features

- **One-click QuickBooks Online connect**: Authorize Dueflow from your QuickBooks company, and disconnect just as easily. Tokens refresh in the background – no re-authorizing every month.
- **A line per income category**: Dues, store sales, donations, and chapter billing each post to the income account you choose, so revenue is classified before your accountant sees it.
- **Deposits that tie to the bank**: Refunds net out, payout fees post as an expense line, and a balancing line absorbs money collected before the last payout – the deposit total always equals the bank.
- **A sync log you can audit**: Every payout shows whether it synced, when, and which QuickBooks deposit it created – with the error message when something fails.
- **Nothing posts by surprise**: You pick which payouts to sync, and Dueflow warns you when a category or fee account is unmapped instead of quietly dumping it in the wrong place.
- **Built on the same ledger**: The categories come from the actual payments behind the payout, not a re-keyed summary – the same data your dashboard and exports use.

## FAQ

**Which accounting software do you support?**

QuickBooks Online today. If you use something else, exports from the dashboard and the Developer API cover the same data – tell us what you're on and it helps us prioritize.

**What exactly gets created in QuickBooks?**

A deposit for the payout, with an income line per category that had activity, a negative line if you paid the payout fee, and a balancing line for anything carried over from a previous period.

**Does it sync automatically?**

You choose which payouts to post, and each one records its status in the sync log. Nothing lands in your books without you asking for it.

**What if we haven't mapped every account?**

Dueflow flags the unmapped categories – and an unmapped fee account – before syncing, so nothing gets misclassified into a catch-all.

**How are refunds handled?**

They net against the category they came from inside the payout window, so a refunded store order reduces store income rather than appearing as an unexplained difference.

**How do we get access?**

The integration is enabled per organization during rollout. Get in contact and we'll switch it on – there's no additional cost.

# HOA dues collection software that automates the chasing

Last updated October 20, 2026

Dueflow pricing: $0 platform fees for the organization. Members pay a small processing fee per payment.

> Dueflow is HOA dues collection software: it bills every unit on a schedule, sends automated email and SMS reminders until owners pay, tracks special assessments separately, and gives the board live reporting – so dues stay current, reserves stay untouched, and the board sees every dollar. $0 platform fees to the association, forever.

## Dues chasing is a volunteer job nobody wants

Most boards run assessments out of a spreadsheet, a shared inbox, and a checkbook. Homeowners pay by check whenever they remember, special assessments get tracked separately, and the treasurer spends every month reconciling deposits and sending the same reminder emails. When an owner disputes a balance or the board wants a reserve report, the answer lives in three places – and none of them agree.

## One system for dues, assessments, and reserves

Dueflow bills every unit on a schedule you set, reminds owners automatically until they pay, and accepts ACH, card, Apple Pay, and Google Pay – or records a check in one click so the ledger stays complete. Special assessments are their own line item, so capital work never gets confused with operating dues, and the board sees collection rates, balances, and reserve contributions on a live dashboard.

## What you get

- **Dues and assessments online**: Bill assessments to every unit monthly, quarterly, or annually, and let owners pay by ACH, card, or Apple Pay – or in installments when the amount is large.
- **Reminders that end the chasing**: Automated email and SMS reminders run on your schedule before and after each due date, so the treasurer stops writing the same message every month.
- **Special assessments, tracked separately**: Raise capital for a roof, a road, or a pool project as its own assessment with its own balance, payment plan, and progress reporting.
- **Board-ready reporting**: View collection rates, delinquencies, and cash on hand on one live dashboard – no month-end spreadsheet assembly before the board meeting.
- **Vendor and volunteer reimbursements**: Board members submit receipts with photos, get approved by the treasurer, and are paid straight to their bank – every expense documented.
- **QuickBooks-ready books**: Every payout posts as a categorized deposit, so the annual review or audit starts from clean records instead of a bank statement and a shoebox.

## What HOAs get on Dueflow

- Per-unit dues and assessment billing
- ACH, card, Apple Pay, Google Pay, and manual check entry
- Automated email and SMS reminders
- Installments and payment plans
- Special assessment tracking
- Delinquency dashboard with full audit trail
- View-only board and property-manager access
- QuickBooks-ready exports for the annual review

## FAQ

**What is the best software to automate HOA dues collection?**

Software that automates HOA dues collection needs four things: scheduled billing per unit (monthly, quarterly, or annual), automatic email and SMS reminders before and after each due date, ACH and card payments with installment plans, and a delinquency view the board can act on. Dueflow does all four with $0 platform fees for the association; homeowners pay a small processing fee at checkout, and checks can still be recorded by hand.

**How much does Dueflow cost an HOA?**

Nothing. Dueflow charges the association $0 – no per-unit fees, no monthly minimum, no contract. Homeowners pay a small processing fee when they pay online, shown before checkout, and manual payments like checks are free to record.

**Can we collect a special assessment separately from dues?**

Yes. Special assessments are created as their own payment with their own amount, due date, and optional installment plan, so capital projects are reported separately from operating dues.

**What if some owners still pay by check?**

Record the check against that unit in one click. The balance clears, the ledger stays complete, and reminders stop automatically for that owner.

**Can board members and our property manager see reports?**

Yes. Add them with view-only access so they see collection rates, balances, and reserve contributions without being able to move money or change billing.

**Does Dueflow work when the board turns over?**

That is what it is built for. Every assessment, reminder, and payment is logged in one place, so an incoming treasurer inherits a complete financial record instead of last year's spreadsheet and a folder of emails.

# Your club's finances, kept under par

Last updated September 7, 2026

Dueflow pricing: $0 platform fees for the organization. Members pay a small processing fee per payment.

> Dueflow gives golf clubs member subscription collection, green fees and event payments, and clean committee reporting in one place – so subs stay current, the capital fund is protected, and the committee sees every dollar. Free for the club, forever.

## Subs, comps, and the bar all live in different places

Annual subscriptions come in by check and bank transfer, competition entries get collected in cash on the first tee, society bookings go through the pro shop, and the capital fund is whatever is left in the second account. The honorary treasurer reconciles all of it by hand, and the committee gets a financial picture that is a month out of date.

## One place for subs, comps, and capital

Dueflow bills every member category on a schedule, reminds members automatically until subs are paid, and takes card, ACH, and Apple Pay for green fees, competition entries, and society days through shareable links and QR codes. Capital and course-improvement funds are tracked as their own line, and the committee sees collection status live instead of at the next meeting.

## What you get

- **Subs by member category**: Bill full, junior, senior, social, and country members different amounts on the schedule each category expects – annually, quarterly, or monthly.
- **Automated subs reminders**: Renewal notices and follow-ups go out by email and SMS on your timetable, so the treasurer is not phoning members in February.
- **Comps, green fees, and society days**: Sell competition entries, guest green fees, and society packages with a link or a QR code in the clubhouse – no cash tin on the first tee.
- **Instalments for annual subs**: Let members spread a full-year subscription across instalments without the club chasing each payment separately.
- **Committee reporting, ready on time**: Collection rate by category, outstanding subs, and fund balances on a live dashboard you can bring straight into the committee meeting.
- **Clean books for the year end**: Every payout posts as a categorized deposit for QuickBooks, so the annual accounts start from reconciled records.

## What golf clubs get on Dueflow

- Subscription billing by member category
- ACH, card, Apple Pay, Google Pay, and manual entry
- Automated renewal and arrears reminders
- Instalment plans on annual subs
- Competition, green fee, and society day payments
- Capital and improvement fund tracking
- View-only committee access
- QuickBooks-ready exports for the annual accounts

## FAQ

**How much does Dueflow cost a golf club?**

The club pays $0 – no platform fees, no per-member charge, no contract. Members pay a small processing fee when they pay online, disclosed before checkout, and recorded checks or transfers are free.

**Can we charge different subs for different member types?**

Yes. Create a separate subscription run for each category – full, junior, senior, social, country – with its own amount, due date, and instalment option.

**Can we collect competition entries and guest green fees?**

Yes. Use a shareable payment link or a clubhouse QR code for comps, guest fees, and society days. Revenue appears alongside subs in the same dashboard.

**Does the committee get financial visibility?**

Add committee members and the club captain with view-only access so they see collection rates and fund balances live, without being able to move money.

**What happens when the honorary treasurer changes?**

Nothing breaks. Every sub, reminder, and payment is logged in Dueflow, so the incoming treasurer inherits a complete, self-explanatory record.

# Your club's money, managed with ease

Last updated September 7, 2026

Dueflow pricing: $0 platform fees for the organization. Members pay a small processing fee per payment.

> Dueflow gives country clubs member dues, initiation fees, and event billing in one place – with automated reminders, instalment plans, and reporting the board can sign off on. $0 platform fees for the club.

## Membership billing outgrew the spreadsheet years ago

Country clubs bill several membership tiers, initiation fees paid over time, minimums, event tickets, and the occasional capital levy. Kept in a spreadsheet and a filing cabinet, each of those becomes its own reconciliation job – and the board's finance report becomes an exercise in trusting whoever assembled it.

## Tiers, initiation fees, and events in one ledger

Dueflow bills each membership tier on its own schedule, spreads initiation fees across instalments, and sells event tickets and dining or activity packages through payment links. Members see their own balance and history; the board sees collection rates, arrears, and fund balances live.

## What you get

- **Dues by membership tier**: Bill full, family, social, and junior tiers different amounts on different cadences, all from one member roll.
- **Initiation fees over instalments**: Let new members pay a joining fee across scheduled instalments, with the remaining balance tracked automatically.
- **Reminders on your schedule**: Email and SMS reminders run before and after each due date, so arrears are handled by the system rather than a phone call.
- **Events, tickets, and packages**: Collect for member events, tournaments, and seasonal packages with shareable links and QR codes at the club.
- **A member portal for balances**: Members log in to see what they owe, what they have paid, and every receipt – which removes most billing questions before they are asked.
- **Board and finance-committee reporting**: Live dues collection, arrears aging, and fund balances, exportable for the board pack in one click.

## What country clubs get on Dueflow

- Tiered dues billing on independent schedules
- Initiation fees paid over instalments
- ACH, card, Apple Pay, Google Pay, and manual entry
- Automated arrears reminders by email and SMS
- Event, tournament, and package payments
- Member portal with balances and receipts
- View-only board and finance-committee access
- QuickBooks-ready exports

## FAQ

**How much does Dueflow cost a country club?**

The club pays nothing. Members pay a small processing fee when paying online, shown before checkout. Recording a check or transfer is free.

**Can we bill different membership tiers differently?**

Yes. Each tier gets its own dues run with its own amount and cadence, billed from a single member roll.

**Can new members pay an initiation fee over time?**

Yes. Set up an instalment plan and Dueflow bills and tracks each instalment against the remaining balance.

**Can members see their own balance?**

Yes. The member portal shows what is owed, what has been paid, and every receipt, which removes most billing questions from the office.

**Can we collect for events as well as dues?**

Yes. Tournaments, dinners, and seasonal packages are sold through shareable links or QR codes, and the revenue lands in the same ledger as dues.

# Your club's finances, match-fit

Last updated September 7, 2026

Dueflow pricing: $0 platform fees for the organization. Members pay a small processing fee per payment.

> Dueflow gives sports clubs and leagues season fees, per-team billing, and kit and tournament payments in one place – with automated reminders so coaches stop chasing parents and players in the group chat. Free for the club.

## Season fees collected in a group chat never fully arrive

Registration fees come in over Venmo, kit money gets handed to a coach, tournament entries are collected by whoever is organizing, and the club treasurer tries to reconstruct it all from screenshots. Every squad tracks money differently, so nobody can say what the club has actually collected this season.

## Bill the squad, not the group chat

Dueflow bills season and registration fees to every player or family, splits them into instalments when the amount is big, and reminds automatically until they are paid. Kit, travel, and tournament entries are sold through links, and each team's collections roll up into one club-wide view.

## What you get

- **Season and registration fees**: Bill each player or family for season fees by ACH, card, Apple Pay, or Google Pay – with instalments for larger amounts.
- **Per-team billing that rolls up**: Give every squad or age group its own group and fees, then see collection across the whole club in one dashboard.
- **Reminders instead of coach chasing**: Automatic email and SMS reminders take the awkward money conversation off the coaches and out of the team chat.
- **Kit, travel, and tournaments**: Sell kit, away-trip contributions, and tournament entries with shareable links and QR codes – no cash collected at training.
- **Coach and volunteer reimbursements**: Referee fees, pitch hire, and equipment receipts get submitted, approved, and paid to a bank account with a record of every approval.
- **Committee-ready numbers**: Live collection rates by team, outstanding balances, and season revenue – ready for the next committee meeting without a spreadsheet.

## What sports clubs get on Dueflow

- Season and registration fee billing
- Per-team groups with club-wide roll-up
- ACH, card, Apple Pay, Google Pay, and manual entry
- Instalments and payment plans for families
- Kit, travel, and tournament payment links
- Coach and volunteer reimbursements with approvals
- Live collection dashboards by team
- QuickBooks-ready exports

## FAQ

**How much does Dueflow cost a sports club?**

The club pays $0. Players and families pay a small processing fee when they pay online, shown before checkout, and cash or check payments can be recorded for free.

**Can we bill each team separately?**

Yes. Every squad, age group, or division is its own group with its own fees, and collections roll up into one club-wide dashboard.

**Can families pay a season fee in instalments?**

Yes. Allow partial or scheduled payments and Dueflow tracks the remaining balance and keeps reminding until it is cleared.

**Can we collect for kit and tournaments too?**

Yes. Sell kit, away-trip contributions, and tournament entries through shareable links or QR codes, tracked in the same ledger as fees.

**How do we pay back a coach who bought equipment?**

They submit the receipt in Dueflow, the treasurer approves it, and the reimbursement is paid to their bank – with the approval and receipt kept on the record.

# Booster club money, out of the shoebox

Last updated September 7, 2026

Dueflow pricing: $0 platform fees for the organization. Members pay a small processing fee per payment.

> Dueflow gives booster clubs, band parents, and team parent groups a single place to collect member dues, run fundraisers, sell spirit wear, and reimburse volunteers – with records that satisfy the district. Free for the club.

## Volunteer-run money with district-level accountability

Booster clubs raise real money – concessions, spirit wear, tournaments, sponsorships – with an all-volunteer board that changes every year and a school district that expects clean records. Cash boxes, personal Venmo accounts, and a shared spreadsheet are the norm, and every audit request becomes a reconstruction.

## Every dollar attributed, every approval logged

Dueflow collects dues, fundraiser sales, sponsorships, and event tickets online, attributes each payment to its purpose, and pays volunteer reimbursements only after a documented approval. The board gets live numbers, and the district gets records that hold up.

## What you get

- **Fundraisers and spirit wear**: Sell fundraiser items, spirit wear, and event tickets through a link or QR code – no cash box, no order forms in backpacks.
- **Member dues and sponsorships**: Bill booster memberships and collect business sponsorship tiers online by ACH, card, or Apple Pay.
- **Purpose-tracked funds**: Keep uniforms, travel, equipment, and scholarship money as separate tracked lines rather than one general balance.
- **Reimbursements with approvals**: Volunteers submit receipts, the treasurer approves, and payment goes to their bank – with the approval trail kept for the audit.
- **Automated reminders**: Dues and pledge reminders go out automatically, so board members are not chasing families personally.
- **Board and district reporting**: Live revenue by fundraiser and fund, plus exports the district or your accountant can work from directly.

## What booster clubs get on Dueflow

- Membership dues and sponsorship billing
- Fundraiser, ticket, and spirit-wear sales
- Purpose-tracked funds
- Volunteer reimbursements with approval trails
- Automated dues and pledge reminders
- ACH, card, Apple Pay, Google Pay, and manual entry
- View-only board access
- District- and accountant-ready exports

## FAQ

**How much does Dueflow cost a booster club?**

The club pays $0. Buyers and members pay a small processing fee online, shown before checkout, and cash or check payments can be recorded for free.

**Can we keep uniform and travel money separate?**

Yes. Each purpose is its own tracked fund with its own balance and history, so restricted fundraising is reported accurately.

**How do reimbursements work?**

A volunteer submits the receipt, the treasurer approves it, and Dueflow pays it to their bank account – keeping the receipt and approval on the record.

**Can we sell spirit wear and tickets?**

Yes. Publish a store or a single payment link, share it by QR code at games, and revenue lands in the same ledger as dues.

**Will our records satisfy the school district?**

Every payment and approval is timestamped and attributed, and exports are formatted for an accountant or district review rather than screenshots of a payment app.

# Your congregation's money, in trusted hands

Last updated September 7, 2026

Dueflow pricing: $0 platform fees for the organization. Members pay a small processing fee per payment.

> Dueflow gives churches, parishes, and religious organizations online giving, pledge tracking, and event collections in one place – with reporting the finance committee can stand behind. $0 platform fees, so more of every gift stays with the ministry.

## Giving is spread across too many channels to reconcile

Offering comes in by envelope, a giving app, a card reader at the back of the sanctuary, and the occasional check mailed to the office. Pledges are tracked in a spreadsheet, building-fund gifts get mixed into general offering, and the volunteer counting team spends every Monday matching totals that never quite tie out.

## One record for giving, pledges, and designated funds

Dueflow gives you a giving page members can use from their phone, recurring gifts that continue without a reminder, and pledge tracking that shows each household's commitment and progress. Designated funds – building, missions, benevolence – stay separated, and the finance committee sees a live picture instead of a monthly reconstruction.

## What you get

- **Online and recurring giving**: A giving page members can reach from a link, a QR code in the bulletin, or their phone – with recurring gifts that keep going.
- **Designated funds kept separate**: Building, missions, and benevolence gifts are tracked against their own fund, so restricted money is never quietly absorbed into general operating.
- **Pledge tracking by household**: Record annual pledges and see who has given, who is on pace, and what remains outstanding – without a side spreadsheet.
- **Gentle, automated follow-up**: Pledge and payment reminders go out by email and SMS on a schedule you control, in language you choose.
- **Events, retreats, and classes**: Collect for retreats, camps, and ministry events with shareable links – including instalments for families.
- **Staff and volunteer reimbursements**: Ministry expenses get submitted with receipts, approved, and paid to a bank account, with every approval documented for the board.

## What churches get on Dueflow

- Online giving pages and QR codes
- Recurring gifts
- Designated fund tracking
- Pledge campaigns with per-household progress
- Automated pledge and payment reminders
- Event, retreat, and class collections
- Reimbursements with approvals and receipts
- QuickBooks-ready exports and giver statements

## FAQ

**How much does Dueflow cost a church?**

The church pays $0 – no platform fees or contracts. Givers pay a small processing fee when they give online, shown before checkout, and many choose to cover it. Cash and check gifts are recorded for free.

**Can we keep building-fund and missions gifts separate?**

Yes. Each designated fund is tracked with its own balance and contribution history, so restricted gifts are reported separately from general offering.

**Do you support recurring giving?**

Yes. Members can set up a recurring gift by ACH or card, and it continues without further action from the office.

**Can we track pledges against actual giving?**

Yes. Record each household's pledge and Dueflow shows progress, remaining balance, and who is behind – with optional automated reminders.

**Can we still count cash and envelopes?**

Yes. Record cash and check gifts against the right fund and giver so the ledger stays complete and statements are accurate.

# Every school dollar, accounted for

Last updated September 7, 2026

Dueflow pricing: $0 platform fees for the organization. Members pay a small processing fee per payment.

> Dueflow gives schools, PTAs, and PTOs a single place to collect activity fees, trip payments, and fundraiser money – with automated reminders for families and reporting that survives an annual audit. Free for the school.

## Activity money arrives in envelopes and never reconciles

Field trip money comes to the classroom in cash, club dues get collected by a teacher, spirit-wear orders run through a form, and the fundraiser cash box is counted by volunteers. Every one of those is a separate record, and the person responsible for student activity funds has to make them agree at the end of the year.

## Collect online, reconcile automatically

Dueflow bills families for activity fees, trips, and club dues online, reminds them automatically, and lets them pay in instalments when a cost is large. Fundraisers and spirit-wear sell through links, and every dollar is attributed to the student, group, and purpose it was collected for.

## What you get

- **Activity fees and trip payments**: Bill families online for activity fees, field trips, athletics, and club dues – by ACH, card, Apple Pay, or Google Pay.
- **Instalments for bigger costs**: Let families spread a trip or an athletics fee across payments instead of choosing between one big charge and going without.
- **Reminders teachers do not have to send**: Automated email and SMS reminders keep the follow-up off classroom teachers and out of backpacks.
- **Fundraisers and spirit wear**: Sell fundraiser items, event tickets, and spirit wear through a link or QR code – with no cash box to count.
- **Per-group activity funds**: Each club, team, or grade level gets its own group and balance, rolling up into a single school-wide view.
- **Audit-ready records**: Every collection, payment, and reimbursement is timestamped and attributed, so the annual activity-fund review starts from clean data.

## What schools and PTAs get on Dueflow

- Activity fee, trip, and club dues billing
- ACH, card, Apple Pay, Google Pay, and manual entry
- Instalments and payment plans for families
- Automated email and SMS reminders
- Fundraiser, ticket, and spirit-wear sales
- Per-group activity funds with school-wide roll-up
- Teacher and volunteer reimbursements with approvals
- Audit-ready exports

## FAQ

**How much does Dueflow cost a school or PTA?**

Nothing. The school or PTA pays $0 with no contract. Families pay a small processing fee when paying online, shown before checkout, and cash or check payments can be recorded for free.

**Can families pay a field trip in instalments?**

Yes. Allow partial or scheduled payments and Dueflow tracks the remaining balance and reminds until it is cleared.

**Can each club or team have its own funds?**

Yes. Every club, team, or grade level is its own group with its own balance, and everything rolls up into one school-wide dashboard.

**Can we run a fundraiser through Dueflow?**

Yes. Sell fundraiser items, event tickets, and spirit wear with shareable links or QR codes, tracked alongside fees in the same ledger.

**Will this hold up in our annual activity-fund review?**

Every payment, approval, and reimbursement is timestamped and attributed to a student, group, and purpose, and exports in a format your accountant or auditor can work from directly.

# Every donation on solid ground

Last updated September 7, 2026

Dueflow pricing: $0 platform fees for the organization. Members pay a small processing fee per payment.

> Dueflow gives nonprofits and charities donations, membership dues, and event revenue in one system – with restricted-fund tracking, donor records, and reporting your board and auditor can rely on. $0 platform fees, so more of every dollar reaches the mission.

## Fundraising tools that cost more than they raise

Most small nonprofits end up with a donation processor, a spreadsheet of members, a separate event ticketing tool, and an accountant who reconciles all three. The platform fees come out of program money, restricted gifts blur into general operating, and board reporting is assembled by hand the week before each meeting.

## Donations, dues, and events in one ledger

Dueflow runs your giving pages and recurring donations, bills membership dues with automated reminders, and sells event tickets and sponsorships – all attributed to donors and funds automatically. Restricted gifts stay restricted, board reports are live, and the organization pays nothing for the platform.

## What you get

- **Giving pages and campaigns**: Launch a campaign page with a goal, share it anywhere, and accept one-time or recurring gifts by ACH, card, Apple Pay, or Google Pay.
- **Restricted fund tracking**: Program- and project-restricted gifts are tracked against their own fund, so board and auditor questions have a documented answer.
- **Membership dues**: Bill members or supporters on a recurring schedule with automated reminders and self-serve balances.
- **Donor records that stay useful**: Every gift is attributed to a donor with full history, so year-end statements and stewardship do not require a data project.
- **Events, galas, and sponsorships**: Sell tickets, tables, and sponsorship tiers through links, and see event revenue next to everything else you raised.
- **Clean books at filing time**: Categorized deposits and complete records make the annual review and the Form 990 a summary of your data rather than a reconstruction of it.

## What nonprofits get on Dueflow

- Campaign and giving pages with goals
- One-time and recurring donations
- Restricted and program fund tracking
- Membership dues with automated reminders
- Donor records and year-end statements
- Event ticketing and sponsorship sales
- Reimbursements with approvals and receipts
- Categorized exports for the annual review and Form 990

## FAQ

**How much does Dueflow cost a nonprofit?**

The organization pays $0 – no subscription, no platform percentage, no contract. Donors pay a small processing fee at checkout, shown up front, and can often choose to cover it.

**Can we track restricted and program-specific gifts?**

Yes. Each fund has its own balance and contribution history, so restricted gifts are reported separately from general operating support.

**Do you support recurring donations?**

Yes. Supporters can set up recurring gifts by ACH or card, and they continue without staff intervention.

**Can we bill membership dues as well as take donations?**

Yes. Dues are billed on a schedule with automated reminders, and members can see and pay their own balance – alongside donations in the same ledger.

**Does this help with our Form 990 and annual review?**

Yes. Payouts post as categorized deposits and every gift, dues payment, and reimbursement is documented, so filing and review start from complete records.

# Every troop's money, under control

Last updated September 7, 2026

Dueflow pricing: $0 platform fees for the organization. Members pay a small processing fee per payment.

> Dueflow gives scout troops, packs, and youth groups dues, camp payments, and fundraiser money in one place – with scout accounts, automated reminders, and reporting the committee can trust. Free for the troop.

## Dues, camp, and popcorn money in three different notebooks

Annual dues arrive at meetings, camp payments come in over a few months, fundraiser proceeds have to be credited back to individual scouts, and the treasurer keeps all of it in a notebook and a spreadsheet. When a family asks how much credit their scout has toward summer camp, finding out takes an evening.

## Dues, camp, and scout credit in one ledger

Dueflow bills troop dues and camp fees to every family, splits camp across instalments, and reminds automatically until they are paid. Fundraiser proceeds are recorded against the scout who earned them, so camp credit is a number a family can see instead of a question for the treasurer.

## What you get

- **Troop dues and camp fees**: Bill annual dues, camp, and activity fees by ACH, card, Apple Pay, or Google Pay – or record cash and checks in one click.
- **Camp paid over instalments**: Let families spread summer camp across scheduled payments, with the balance tracked automatically.
- **Per-scout balances and credit**: Fundraiser earnings and payments are attributed to the individual scout, so camp credit is always current and visible.
- **Reminders instead of meeting-night nagging**: Automated email and SMS reminders handle the follow-up so leaders can run the program.
- **Fundraisers and gear**: Sell popcorn, wreaths, event tickets, and gear through a link or QR code – no cash tin at the meeting.
- **Leader reimbursements**: Leaders submit receipts for gear and campsite fees, get approved, and are paid to their bank with the record kept.

## What troops get on Dueflow

- Dues, camp, and activity fee billing
- Instalments and payment plans for families
- Per-scout balances with fundraiser credit
- Automated email and SMS reminders
- Online fundraiser and gear sales
- Leader reimbursements with approvals
- View-only committee and charter-org access
- Clean exports for annual reporting

## FAQ

**How much does Dueflow cost a troop?**

The troop pays $0. Families pay a small processing fee when paying online, shown before checkout, and cash or check payments are recorded for free.

**Can we credit fundraiser earnings to individual scouts?**

Yes. Record proceeds against the scout who earned them and the credit shows up on that scout's balance toward dues or camp.

**Can families pay for summer camp in instalments?**

Yes. Camp can be split into scheduled payments, with reminders and remaining balance tracked automatically.

**Can the committee and charter organization see the books?**

Yes. Add them with view-only access to live balances and reports, without the ability to move money.

**What happens when the troop treasurer changes?**

Every payment, reminder, and approval stays in Dueflow, so the next treasurer inherits a complete record instead of a notebook.

# Your lodge's finances, in good order

Last updated September 7, 2026

Dueflow pricing: $0 platform fees for the organization. Members pay a small processing fee per payment.

> Dueflow gives Masonic lodges and fraternal orders annual dues collection, charity and relief fund tracking, and clean reporting for the trustees – so dues stay current and the secretary's books balance themselves. Free for the lodge.

## Annual dues run on paper and personal follow-up

Dues notices go out by mail, payments come back by check over several months, and the secretary keeps the roll in a ledger book. Charity and relief funds sit in the same account as operating money, and the trustees get a financial picture only as often as someone assembles one.

## Dues, relief funds, and reporting in one place

Dueflow bills every brother's annual dues, follows up automatically until they are paid, and accepts card, ACH, and Apple Pay while still recording checks for members who prefer them. Charity, relief, and building funds are tracked as their own lines, and the trustees see balances live.

## What you get

- **Annual dues, billed and tracked**: Bill the full roll at once with per-member balances, and accept card, ACH, or Apple Pay – or record a check in one click.
- **Automated dues follow-up**: Reminders go out by email and SMS on your schedule, so the secretary is not writing individual letters in month four.
- **Charity and relief funds**: Relief, charity, and building funds are tracked with their own balances and contribution history, kept clear of operating money.
- **Life members and remissions**: Handle life members, remitted dues, and reduced categories without maintaining a second list on the side.
- **Dinners, degrees, and events**: Collect for festive board dinners, degree nights, and lodge events with shareable links instead of cash at the door.
- **Reporting for the trustees**: Live dues collection, arrears, and fund balances, exportable for the trustees or the annual return.

## What lodges get on Dueflow

- Annual dues billing across the full roll
- ACH, card, Apple Pay, and manual check entry
- Automated dues reminders
- Life member and remission handling
- Charity, relief, and building fund tracking
- Dinner and event collections
- View-only trustee access
- Clean exports for the annual return

## FAQ

**How much does Dueflow cost a lodge?**

The lodge pays $0 – no platform fee, no contract. Members pay a small processing fee when paying online, shown before checkout, and checks can be recorded for free.

**Can we handle life members and remitted dues?**

Yes. Members can be billed different amounts or excluded from a dues run entirely, without keeping a separate list.

**Can charity and relief funds be tracked separately?**

Yes. Each fund has its own balance and contribution history, so designated giving is never mixed with operating dues.

**Can members still pay by check?**

Yes. Record the check against the member and their balance clears, reminders stop, and the roll stays accurate.

**Do the trustees get visibility?**

Add trustees with view-only access to live collection and fund reports, without the ability to move money.

# Alumni dues and giving, finally in one place

Last updated September 7, 2026

Dueflow pricing: $0 platform fees for the organization. Members pay a small processing fee per payment.

> Dueflow gives alumni associations and house corporations membership dues, annual giving, and reunion collections in one system – with automated renewals and reporting the board can act on. $0 platform fees.

## Renewals lapse quietly and giving lives somewhere else

Membership dues are billed once a year by email, annual giving runs through a separate donation form, reunion registrations go through a form and a spreadsheet, and nobody can say which alumni are lapsed versus simply un-asked. The result is a membership base that shrinks by attrition rather than by decision.

## Renewals that run themselves, giving that ties to a record

Dueflow bills dues on a recurring schedule with automatic renewal reminders, runs annual-giving campaigns with goals, and collects reunion and event registrations – all attributed to the same alumni record. The board sees membership, lapse, and giving in one dashboard instead of three exports.

## What you get

- **Membership dues and renewals**: Bill annual or lifetime memberships with recurring options, so renewal is a default rather than an annual campaign.
- **Lapse-prevention reminders**: Automated email and SMS reminders before and after renewal dates, so lapses are caught while they are still easy to reverse.
- **Annual giving campaigns**: Run campaigns with goals and progress, accept one-time or recurring gifts, and track restricted funds like scholarships.
- **Reunions and chapter events**: Sell reunion tickets, homecoming tables, and regional event registrations through links, with instalments where useful.
- **One alumni record**: Dues, gifts, and event attendance attach to the same person, so outreach is informed instead of generic.
- **Board reporting**: Membership counts, renewal rates, giving totals, and event revenue on one live dashboard, exportable for the board pack.

## What alumni associations get on Dueflow

- Annual, recurring, and lifetime memberships
- Automated renewal and lapse reminders
- Annual giving campaigns with goals
- Restricted and scholarship fund tracking
- Reunion and event ticketing
- Unified dues and giving records per alum
- View-only board access
- QuickBooks-ready exports and giver statements

## FAQ

**How much does Dueflow cost an alumni association?**

The association pays $0 – no platform fees, no contract. Members and donors pay a small processing fee when paying online, disclosed before checkout.

**Can we offer recurring or lifetime memberships?**

Yes. Memberships can be annual, recurring, or one-time lifetime, each with its own amount and reminder schedule.

**Can we run annual giving in the same place as dues?**

Yes. Campaigns and gifts live alongside dues and attach to the same alumni record, so reporting does not require merging exports.

**Can we collect reunion registrations?**

Yes. Sell tickets and tables through shareable links, with instalments available for larger packages.

**Can we track a scholarship fund separately?**

Yes. Restricted funds are tracked with their own balance and contribution history for board and audit reporting.

# Membership revenue that renews itself

Last updated September 7, 2026

Dueflow pricing: $0 platform fees for the organization. Members pay a small processing fee per payment.

> Dueflow gives professional and trade associations tiered membership dues, conference and event revenue, and chapter-level reporting in one system – with automated renewals and no platform fees.

## Association software priced like enterprise software

Most membership platforms charge a subscription plus a percentage, bundle a website you did not ask for, and still leave conference registration in a separate tool. Meanwhile renewals depend on staff sending reminders manually, and chapter or section finances are reported on whatever cadence each volunteer manages.

## Dues, events, and chapters in one ledger

Dueflow bills each membership tier on its own schedule with automatic renewal reminders, sells conference registrations and sponsorships, and rolls chapter or section collections into an association-wide view – for $0 in platform fees.

## What you get

- **Tiered membership dues**: Bill individual, student, retired, and corporate tiers on independent schedules, with recurring renewal built in.
- **Renewal automation**: Reminders run before and after each renewal date by email and SMS, so retention does not depend on staff time.
- **Conferences and sponsorships**: Sell conference registrations, workshops, and sponsor packages with instalments for larger amounts.
- **Chapters and sections**: Give each chapter its own group and collections, then see the whole association in one dashboard.
- **Self-serve member portal**: Members see their balance, renewal date, and receipts, which removes most billing email from staff.
- **Board and filing-ready books**: Categorized payouts and complete records for board reporting, the annual review, and the Form 990.

## What associations get on Dueflow

- Tiered and corporate membership billing
- Recurring dues and automated renewals
- Conference, workshop, and sponsorship sales
- Chapter and section groups with roll-up reporting
- Member portal with balances and receipts
- Instalments and payment plans
- View-only board access
- Exports for the annual review and Form 990

## FAQ

**How much does Dueflow cost an association?**

The association pays $0 – no subscription and no platform percentage. Members pay a small processing fee when paying online, shown before checkout.

**Can we bill corporate and individual members differently?**

Yes. Each tier is its own billing run with its own amount, term, and cadence.

**Do you support recurring memberships?**

Yes. Dues can renew automatically, with reminder sequences around each renewal date.

**Can our chapters collect their own money?**

Yes. Chapters and sections get their own groups and collections, and everything rolls up into an association-wide dashboard.

**Can we sell conference registrations here too?**

Yes. Registrations, workshops, and sponsorships are sold through links and tracked alongside dues in the same ledger.

# Every chapter's finances, under one roof

Last updated September 7, 2026

Dueflow pricing: $0 platform fees for the organization. Members pay a small processing fee per payment.

> Dueflow gives national and regional organizations oversight of every chapter's dues, balances, and reporting – without taking away chapter autonomy or charging either level a platform fee.

## Chapter finances reported once a year, if at all

Headquarters bills chapters for national dues, then waits for spreadsheets that arrive late, in different formats, and only partially reconciled. Some chapters use a bank account and a payment app; some use a shoebox. By the time HQ can see a problem – an insolvent chapter, an unpaid national invoice – it is a year old.

## Oversight for HQ, autonomy for chapters

Chapters run their own dues, events, and reimbursements in Dueflow, and headquarters sees collection rates, balances, and national-dues status across every chapter in one dashboard. HQ can bill chapters directly and send organization-wide reminders, while each chapter keeps control of its own money.

## What you get

- **Every chapter in one view**: Collection rates, outstanding balances, and activity for each chapter on a single live dashboard.
- **Bill chapters for national dues**: Invoice each chapter on a schedule and track who has paid without a reconciliation email thread.
- **Organization-wide reminders**: Send reminder campaigns across chapters, or let each chapter run its own member reminders automatically.
- **Comparative analytics**: Compare chapters on collection rate, revenue, and delinquency to see which need support before it becomes a crisis.
- **Role-based access**: HQ staff, regional officers, chapter officers, and advisors each see exactly what they should – including view-only roles.
- **API and roster sync**: Sync chapters, members, and payments with your own systems through a documented REST API with scoped tokens.

## What multi-chapter organizations get on Dueflow

- Cross-chapter oversight dashboard
- National dues billing to chapters
- Comparative analytics across chapters
- Organization-wide reminder campaigns
- Chapter-level autonomy over funds and payouts
- Role-based access for HQ, regions, and advisors
- REST API with scoped tokens for roster sync
- $0 platform fees at every level

## FAQ

**What does Dueflow cost headquarters and chapters?**

Both pay $0. There are no per-chapter or per-member fees and no contracts. Members pay a small processing fee when they pay online, shown before checkout.

**Can headquarters bill chapters for national dues?**

Yes. HQ invoices each chapter on a schedule with automated reminders and tracks payment status across the whole organization.

**Do chapters keep control of their own money?**

Yes. Each chapter has its own payouts and manages its own dues and expenses. HQ gets visibility and reporting, not custody.

**Can regional officers and advisors have limited access?**

Yes. Role-based access lets you give regional officers, advisors, and staff view-only or scoped permissions.

**Can we sync chapters and members with our own systems?**

Yes. The REST API supports roster sync, payment reads, and payout reconciliation with scoped tokens and an OpenAPI spec.

# Dueflow vs Greekly

Last updated October 8, 2026

Dueflow pricing: $0 platform fees for chapters and nationals forever. Members pay a small processing fee per payment.

> Greekly sells an all-in-one chapter platform – dues, events, messaging, recruitment, alumni – on an annual contract whose price depends on chapter size and features, so you get a number after a sales conversation. Dueflow gives chapters and nationals dues, payment plans, and oversight at a published $0 platform fee, with no contract, and adds reimbursements, budgeting, a store, QuickBooks sync, Form 990 filing, and an AI assistant.

## What is the difference between Dueflow and Greekly?

Greekly is a newer all-in-one fraternity and sorority platform (dues, events, messaging, recruitment, alumni) sold on an annual chapter contract with quote-based pricing that depends on chapter size; it publishes no price. Dueflow charges chapters no platform or per-member fee – a 100-member chapter pays $0 a year and members cover processing when they pay. Dueflow has no contract, a treasurer can start without a sales call, and nationals get oversight at the same $0.

## Published pricing vs. an annual contract quote.

Greekly's site describes annual chapter contracts with pricing that depends on chapter size and the features you choose, and its pricing page sits behind a login. Dueflow's price is on its pricing page: chapters and nationals pay $0, and members pay a flat processing fee only when they pay.

- Greekly annual cost: Quote-only
- Dueflow annual cost: $0
- **Annual savings: your whole quote**

## Key Stats

- **$0** Dueflow platform fee for chapters and nationals, published on /pricing. Greekly: quote-based annual contract, no published price.
- **$2** Dueflow member ACH processing fee on dues under $100 ($10 for $100–$399, $15 for $400+). Greekly: processing terms not published.
- **5 min** from Dueflow sign-up to first dues request. Greekly: sales conversation, quote, annual contract.
- **0** contracts to sign on Dueflow. Greekly sells annual chapter contracts.

## Dueflow vs Greekly, feature by feature

| Feature | Dueflow | Greekly |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Published pricing | $0 platform fee for chapters and nationals, member fee table on /pricing | Quote-based; depends on chapter size and features; pricing page requires login |
| Self-serve signup | Create an account and send dues in about 5 minutes, no sales call | Book a demo; annual contract |
| Dues collection & payment plans | Dues, payment plans, partial payments, bulk payments | Dues collection with payment plans and tracking |
| Member payment methods | ACH, card, Apple Pay, Google Pay, Klarna buy-now-pay-later | Online payments – methods not itemized on the public site |
| Automated reminders | Unlimited email + SMS reminders that stop when the member pays | Automated dues reminders |
| Reimbursements | Receipt upload, one-click approval, automatic payout, audit trail | Not listed on greekly-app.com |
| Budgeting & bank sync | Bank transactions import automatically into budget buckets | Not listed on greekly-app.com |
| Merch & event store | Built-in store with inventory, tickets, and fundraisers | Events with RSVPs; no merch store listed |
| Accounting export / sync | QuickBooks Online sync, Excel and CSV export | Not listed on greekly-app.com |
| Nationals / HQ oversight | Free nationals dashboard: per-chapter collected, outstanding, overdue | Chapter-level product; no HQ dashboard listed |
| Messaging, recruitment, alumni | Member portal plus email and SMS reminders; no chat or recruitment module | Member messaging, recruitment pipeline, alumni tracking |
| Form 990 filing | Deadline tracking, guided workpapers, CPA review | Not listed on greekly-app.com |
| AI finance assistant | Plain-English answers on outstanding dues, rates, and trends | Not listed on greekly-app.com |
| Contracts | No contracts | Annual chapter contract |

## When to choose Dueflow, and when Greekly may fit.

We're biased, so here is the honest split.

### Choose Dueflow if the treasurer needs to start this week

No demo, no quote, no contract. A chapter treasurer creates the account, adds members, and sends the first dues request the same day, and the price is already on the pricing page.

### Choose Dueflow if you want the whole money stack

Greekly's public site covers dues in. Dueflow covers dues in, reimbursements out, budgets, bank sync, QuickBooks, a store, fundraising, and Form 990 filing, so the next treasurer inherits one set of books instead of a payments export plus spreadsheets.

### Greekly may fit if recruitment and messaging matter more than finance

Greekly bundles a recruitment pipeline, member messaging, and alumni tracking with its dues module. If your chapter's priority is one app for rush and communication and it is comfortable with an annual contract at a quoted price, evaluate it. Dueflow focuses on the finance side and gives nationals oversight at $0.

## Dueflow vs Greekly: common questions

**What is Greekly?**

Greekly (greekly-app.com) describes itself as 'the fraternity and sorority platform for modern chapters': an all-in-one app for collecting dues, running events, messaging members, managing recruitment, and tracking alumni. It is a newer entrant and positions itself against OmegaFi, BillHighway, and ChapterBuilder on its own comparison pages.

**How much does Greekly cost?**

Greekly does not publish a price. As of September 2026 its site describes annual chapter contracts with pricing based on chapter size and the features you choose, and its pricing page requires a login. Dueflow publishes its pricing: $0 platform fee for chapters and nationals, with members paying a flat processing fee ($2 ACH on dues under $100, $10 on $100–$399, $15 on $400+; cards $5, or $10/$15 + 3.3%; Klarna 6%).

**Is Dueflow free for chapters like Greekly?**

Dueflow is free for chapters and nationals: $0 platform fee, no per-member fee, no contract, permanently. Greekly's price is not public and it sells annual contracts, so we cannot say what your chapter would pay.

**Does Greekly handle reimbursements, budgeting, or QuickBooks?**

Not that its public site mentions. greekly-app.com lists dues, events, messaging, recruitment, and alumni features. Dueflow includes reimbursements with an audit trail, budgeting with bank sync, QuickBooks Online sync, a merch and ticket store, fundraising, and Form 990 filing at $0.

**Does Greekly have a nationals or headquarters dashboard?**

Greekly's public site describes a chapter-level product and does not list a headquarters dashboard. Dueflow's nationals dashboard is free: per-chapter collected, outstanding, and overdue, comparative analytics, and organization-wide reporting.

**How do we switch from Greekly to Dueflow?**

Export your roster and outstanding balances from Greekly, create your Dueflow account, import members, connect the chapter bank account, and post the outstanding dues with payment plans where needed. Most chapters are live the same day. Check your Greekly contract end date; Dueflow has no contract, so you can run both in parallel until it lapses.

## How we made this comparison

Written by Dueflow. Last verified September 19, 2026.

### What we compared

- A 100-member chapter over a full academic year (two semesters), the size we see most often.
- Platform and per-member fees only. Payment processing fees are listed separately because on Dueflow the member covers them, so the chapter's platform cost is $0.
- Published list pricing where the competitor publishes it. Where it does not, the figure is an estimate and we say so on this page.

### How we priced Greekly

Greekly does not publish pricing. Its pricing page sits behind a login, and its public pages say it is sold through annual chapter contracts with cost depending on chapter size and the features you use, so this page shows no dollar estimate for Greekly and compares scope and terms instead.

### Sources

- [Greekly homepage](https://www.greekly-app.com/) – Advertised scope (dues with Stripe reconciliation, events, messaging, recruitment pipeline, votes and bids, alumni directory and giving) and the line 'Greekly is sold through annual chapter contracts'.
- [Greekly – Greekly vs OmegaFi](https://www.greekly-app.com/compare/omegafi) – Greekly's own pricing FAQ: 'Pricing depends on your chapter size and which features you use' and 'contact the team for a chapter-specific quote'; no price listed.

ChapterHub is a beta fraternity and sorority membership-management site (dues, roster, recruitment, branded chapter page) that is free during beta and plans to charge a per-transaction fee on dues, with the rate still listed as a placeholder.

Dueflow's fee schedule is published, and it adds reimbursements, budgeting, a store, QuickBooks sync, AI, and a nationals dashboard.

## Free in beta is not the same as a published price.

ChapterHub's pricing page shows $0 a month, 'Free during beta', and a planned 2.9% + 30¢ per-transaction fee on dues labeled as a placeholder with the final rate to be confirmed before launch.

## When to choose Dueflow, and when ChapterHub may fit.

We're biased, so here is the honest split.

### Choose Dueflow if you need the fee schedule before you move the roster

ChapterHub's dues fee will be set after beta. Dueflow's is published now: $0 to the chapter, a flat processing fee to the member, no contract, and it will not change under you after you have moved members over.

### Choose Dueflow if you want the whole money stack

ChapterHub covers dues in and a roster. Dueflow covers dues in, reimbursements out, budgets, bank sync, QuickBooks, a store, fundraising, Form 990 filing, and an AI assistant, so the next treasurer inherits one set of books.

### ChapterHub may fit if you want a free beta and a public chapter page

ChapterHub bundles a branded public chapter page and recruitment tools with its dues module and is free while in beta. If your chapter wants to try an early product and is comfortable with the dues fee being finalized later, evaluate it. Dueflow focuses on chapter finance and nationals oversight at a published $0.

## Dueflow vs ChapterHub: common questions

Dueflow publishes its pricing: $0 platform fee for chapters and nationals, with members paying a flat processing fee ($2 ACH on dues under $100, $10 on $100–$399, $15 on $400+; cards $5, or $10/$15 + 3.3%; Klarna 6%).

## How we made this comparison

Written by Dueflow. Last verified September 19, 2026.

### What we compared

- A 100-member chapter over a full academic year (two semesters), the size we see most often.
- Platform and per-member fees only. Payment processing fees are listed separately because on Dueflow the member covers them, so the chapter's platform cost is $0.
- Published list pricing where the competitor publishes it. Where it does not, the figure is an estimate and we say so on this page.

### How we priced ChapterHub

ChapterHub is free during its beta and lists a planned per-transaction fee on dues of 2.9% + 30¢, which its pricing page labels a placeholder with the final rate to be confirmed before launch. Because the post-beta rate is not final, this page shows $0 in platform cost for ChapterHub and compares scope and maturity instead.

### Sources

- [ChapterHub homepage](https://chapterhub.app/) – Advertised scope (dues collection, member management, recruitment, branded chapter page, alumni) and 'Now in beta' status.
- [ChapterHub – Pricing](https://chapterhub.app/pricing) – '$0 / month' platform, 'Free during beta', and the placeholder 2.9% + 30¢ per-transaction fee on dues with the final rate marked TBD.

# Dueflow vs PayDues

Last updated October 8, 2026

Dueflow pricing: $0 platform fees for chapters and nationals forever. Members pay a small processing fee per payment.

> PayDues is a Stripe-based dues platform for fraternities and sororities with no subscription, setup, or per-member fee. Its published price is a platform fee on every payment – starting at 0.5% and typically 0.5% to 1% – on top of roughly 2.9% + 30¢ card processing, and the chapter chooses whether members or the chapter pay it. Dueflow charges chapters and nationals nothing and takes no percentage of collections; members pay one flat, published processing fee at checkout.

## What is the difference between Dueflow and PayDues?

PayDues is a Stripe-based dues collection platform for fraternities and sororities with no subscription, setup, or per-member fee. Instead it takes a platform fee on every payment – published as starting at 0.5% and typically 0.5% to 1% – on top of roughly 2.9% + 30¢ card processing, and the chapter chooses whether members pay that fee or the chapter absorbs it. Dueflow charges chapters no platform or per-member fee – a 100-member chapter pays $0 a year and members cover processing when they pay. Dueflow takes no percentage of collections either, and adds a merch store, Klarna, and Form 990 filing that PayDues's site does not list.

## Two 'free for chapters' prices, two different fee models.

PayDues's pricing page says 'Free for chapters' and then explains that 'a small fee applies per payment': standard card processing of about 2.9% + 30¢ plus PayDues's own platform fee, which 'starts at 0.5% and varies with your chapter's agreement – typically between 0.5% and 1%'. The chapter either passes that on to members or absorbs it. Dueflow's price is a platform fee of $0 for chapters and nationals with no percentage of dues; members pay a flat fee by payment method ($2, $10, or $15 by ACH) that is published on dueflow.co/pricing.

- PayDues annual cost: 0.5–1% of collections
- Dueflow annual cost: $0
- **Annual savings: per $100k collected**

## Key Stats

- **$0** Dueflow platform fee for chapters and nationals, with no percentage of dues. PayDues: 0.5%–1% of every payment.
- **0.5–1%** PayDues platform fee on each payment, per its pricing page ('starts at 0.5% … typically between 0.5% and 1%'), on top of ~2.9% + 30¢ card processing.
- **$500–$1,000** what a chapter absorbing PayDues fees pays on $100,000 of dues in a year. On Dueflow the chapter pays $0 on any volume.
- **5 min** from Dueflow sign-up to first dues request. PayDues also offers self-serve signup alongside a demo path.

## Dueflow vs PayDues, feature by feature

| Feature | Dueflow | PayDues |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Chapter platform fee | $0, no percentage of collections, for chapters and nationals | 0.5%–1% of every payment ('starts at 0.5%'), chapter or member pays |
| Published pricing | Flat member fee table by payment method on /pricing | Fee model published; exact rate 'varies with your chapter's agreement' |
| Member fee model | Flat: ACH $2 / $10 / $15 by dues amount; card $5, or $10/$15 + 3.3% | Percentage: card ~2.9% + 30¢ plus 0.5%–1% platform fee; bank transfer encouraged first |
| Self-serve signup | Create an account and send dues in about 5 minutes | 'Get started free' plus a 'Schedule a demo' path |
| Dues collection & payment plans | Dues, payment plans, partial payments, bulk payments | Batch invoicing, treasurer-approved payment plans, bank-first autopay |
| Member payment methods | ACH, card, Apple Pay, Google Pay, Klarna buy-now-pay-later | Card and bank transfer through Stripe; no buy-now-pay-later listed |
| Automated reminders | Unlimited email + SMS reminders that stop when the member pays | Email and SMS reminders that escalate as deadlines approach |
| Late fees | Early-bird, regular, and late price tiers applied automatically | Late fee schedules and early-payment discounts |
| Reimbursements | Receipt upload, one-click approval, automatic payout, audit trail | Receipt submission, one-tap approval, payout to the member's account |
| Budgeting & bank sync | Bank transactions import automatically into budget buckets | Semester budgets and expense tracking; bank sync not listed |
| Merch & event store | Built-in store with inventory, tickets, and fundraisers | Fundraising campaign pages; no merch or ticket store listed |
| Accounting export / sync | QuickBooks Online sync, Excel and CSV export | CSV and PDF exports; no accounting sync listed |
| Nationals / HQ oversight | Free nationals dashboard: per-chapter collected, outstanding, overdue | Multi-chapter reporting, health scores, billing templates, audit logs |
| Form 990 filing | Deadline tracking, guided workpapers, CPA review | Not listed on paydues.net |
| AI finance assistant | Plain-English answers on outstanding dues, rates, and trends | 'Ask PayDues anything' about balances, overdue members, and budget |
| Contracts | No contracts | 'No annual contract, no setup fee, and nothing to cancel' |

## When to choose Dueflow, and when PayDues may fit.

We're biased, so here is the honest split.

### Choose Dueflow if you never want a percentage of dues leaving the chapter

Dueflow's platform fee is $0 with no cut of collections at any volume, and the member fee is flat and published. On PayDues the platform fee scales with every dollar you bill, and if the chapter absorbs fees it comes out of the budget.

### Choose Dueflow if you want the whole money stack

Both platforms handle dues, plans, reminders, late fees, reimbursements, budgets, and nationals reporting. Dueflow also runs a merch and ticket store, Klarna, QuickBooks Online sync, and Form 990 filing at the same $0.

### PayDues may fit if you want to absorb fees so members pay the exact invoice

PayDues's 'absorb' mode lets members pay exactly the invoice amount while the chapter covers a percentage-based fee, and its bank-first autopay can cost a member less per payment than a flat fee on smaller dues. If that trade is worth 0.5%–1% of collections to your chapter, evaluate it.

## Dueflow vs PayDues: common questions

**What is PayDues?**

PayDues (paydues.net) is a dues collection and chapter finance platform for fraternities and sororities. Its site describes 'modern dues collection for Greek life orgs': batch invoicing, bank-first autopay, treasurer-approved payment plans, email and SMS reminders, late fees and early-payment discounts, reimbursements, budgeting, fundraising campaign pages, an AI assistant, and multi-chapter reporting for nationals, with payments processed by Stripe.

**How much does PayDues cost?**

PayDues charges no subscription, setup, or per-member fee. Its pricing page (September 2026) says 'a small fee applies per payment': standard card processing of about 2.9% + 30¢ plus PayDues's own platform fee, which 'starts at 0.5% and varies with your chapter's agreement – typically between 0.5% and 1%'. The chapter chooses whether members cover that fee at checkout or the chapter absorbs it. Dueflow charges chapters and nationals $0 with no percentage of collections; members pay a flat fee by payment method ($2 ACH on dues under $100, $10 on $100–$399, $15 on $400+; cards $5, or $10/$15 + 3.3%; Klarna 6%).

**Is PayDues really free for chapters?**

The subscription is free. Whether the chapter pays anything depends on the fee mode it picks: in pass-through mode members pay the processing and platform fee and the chapter nets the full invoice; in absorb mode the chapter pays the fee out of what it collects, which at 0.5%–1% is $500–$1,000 on $100,000 of dues. Dueflow is free for chapters in both senses: no subscription and no percentage of dues, permanently.

**Which is cheaper for members, Dueflow or PayDues?**

It depends on the payment and the amount. PayDues charges a percentage (about 2.9% + 30¢ for cards plus 0.5%–1%), and it encourages bank transfer, which its own example prices at about $8 on a $500 invoice. Dueflow charges a flat fee: $15 by ACH on dues of $400 or more, $10 on $100–$399, and $2 under $100, so smaller dues and card payments on large invoices tend to be cheaper on Dueflow while a single large bank payment can be cheaper on PayDues. Both platforms show the member the exact fee before they pay.

**Does PayDues have a store, Klarna, or QuickBooks sync?**

Not that its public site lists. paydues.net lists fundraising campaign pages, CSV and PDF exports, and card or bank payments through Stripe. Dueflow includes a merch and ticket store with inventory, Klarna buy-now-pay-later, Apple and Google Pay, QuickBooks Online sync, and Form 990 filing at $0.

**How do we switch from PayDues to Dueflow?**

Export your roster and outstanding balances from PayDues (its site lists CSV exports and says there is nothing to cancel), create your Dueflow account, import members, connect the chapter bank account, and post the outstanding dues with payment plans where needed. Most chapters are live the same day, and because neither platform has a contract you can run both in parallel for a cycle if you prefer.

## How we made this comparison

Written by Dueflow. Last verified September 19, 2026.

### What we compared

- A 100-member chapter over a full academic year (two semesters), the size we see most often.
- Platform and per-member fees only. Payment processing fees are listed separately because on Dueflow the member covers them, so the chapter's platform cost is $0.
- Published list pricing where the competitor publishes it. Where it does not, the figure is an estimate and we say so on this page.
- $1,000 of dues per member per year ($100,000 collected by the chapter), the volume the PayDues platform-fee percentage is applied to.

### How we priced PayDues

PayDues publishes its pricing: no subscription, setup, or per-member fee, and a platform fee on every payment that starts at 0.5% and 'typically' runs 0.5% to 1% depending on the chapter's agreement, on top of card processing of about 2.9% + 30¢. The chapter chooses whether members cover that fee or the chapter absorbs it. The dollar figures on this page apply the published 0.5%–1% range to $100,000 of dues collected by a 100-member chapter over a school year; your rate depends on your agreement with PayDues.

# Dueflow vs ChapterSpot

Last updated October 8, 2026

Dueflow pricing: $0 platform fees for chapters and nationals forever. Members pay a small processing fee per payment.

> ChapterSpot rebranded to re:Members CRM Platform as part of the multi-phase re:Members rebrand that also renamed Greekbill (Choice Finance) and Billhighway (Unified Finance). It is a CRM for national headquarters built on Salesforce, paired with a chapter-specific member portal: rosters, recruitment, officer roles, activity tracking, forms, LMS, chapter websites, incident management, and a billing and payments module, sold through a demo request with implementation and managed services. Dueflow is built for the treasurer and the chapter: dues with payment plans, reimbursements, budgeting with bank sync, a merch and ticket store, QuickBooks sync, Form 990 filing, and a free nationals dashboard, with no platform fee and a sign-up that takes minutes.

## What is the difference between Dueflow and ChapterSpot?

ChapterSpot is now re:Members CRM Platform: a Salesforce-based CRM for fraternity and sorority headquarters, paired with a chapter member portal for rosters, recruitment, roles, activity tracking, and forms, with billing and payments as one module, sold through a demo request with no published price. Dueflow charges chapters no platform or per-member fee – a 100-member chapter pays $0 a year and members cover processing when they pay. Dueflow is built for the chapter treasurer – dues with payment plans, reimbursements, budgeting with bank sync, a store, QuickBooks sync, and Form 990 filing – and nationals get the oversight dashboard at the same $0 without a Salesforce implementation.

## An HQ Salesforce implementation vs. a published $0.

re:Members publishes no price for the CRM Platform: every page on remembers.com/fraternal/crm ends in 'Request a Demo', and the product is described as a Salesforce-based CRM for professional staff with an implementation project, data migration, and ongoing managed services. Dueflow's price is on its pricing page: chapters and nationals pay $0, members pay a flat processing fee only when they pay, and a chapter can sign up and send its first dues request without a sales call.

- ChapterSpot annual cost: Quote-only
- Dueflow annual cost: $0
- **Annual savings: Published $0**

## Key Stats

- **$0** Dueflow platform fee for chapters and nationals, published on /pricing. re:Members CRM: no published price; 'Request a Demo' on every CRM page.
- **$2** Dueflow member ACH processing fee on dues under $100 ($10 for $100–$399, $15 for $400+). re:Members CRM: 'Integrated Payment Processing' listed, fees not published.
- **5 min** from Dueflow sign-up to first dues request. re:Members CRM: a dedicated implementation team, data migration, and managed services for HQ.
- **15** features in re:Members CRM Platform's own SoftwareApplication schema (member & chapter CRM, roles, portal, billing, LMS, e-signatures, incidents, websites, SSO, workflows). One of them is billing.

## Dueflow vs ChapterSpot (re:Members CRM), feature by feature

| Feature | Dueflow | ChapterSpot |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Published pricing | $0 platform fee for chapters and nationals, member fee table on /pricing | No price on remembers.com; every CRM page routes to 'Request a Demo' |
| Self-serve signup for a chapter | Create an account and send dues in about 5 minutes, no sales call | Sold to headquarters; implementation project and data migration run by a dedicated team |

| AI finance assistant | Plain-English answers on outstanding dues, rates, and trends | Not listed on remembers.com/fraternal/crm |
| Contracts | No contracts | HQ implementation and ongoing managed services; terms not published |

## When to choose Dueflow, and when re:Members CRM may fit.

We're biased, so here is the honest split.

### Choose Dueflow if the chapter is the buyer

Dues with payment plans, reimbursements, budgets, bank sync, QuickBooks, a store, fundraising, and Form 990 filing at $0 for the chapter, live the same day. The next treasurer inherits one set of books instead of an HQ system they cannot configure.

### Choose Dueflow if you want the price published before you start

No demo request, no implementation project, no managed-services contract; the member processing fee is on the pricing page. Nationals join the oversight dashboard at $0 too.

### re:Members CRM may fit if headquarters needs a Salesforce CRM

If the buyer is a national office that wants member records, recruitment, officer roles, LMS, incident management, and chapter websites in Salesforce with a branded member portal, that is exactly what re:Members CRM is built to be. Many organizations run an HQ CRM alongside Dueflow for chapter money; Dueflow has no contract, so a chapter can add it without dropping anything.

## Dueflow vs ChapterSpot: common questions

**What is ChapterSpot?**

ChapterSpot is the former name of re:Members CRM Platform (chapterspot.com now carries the notice 'ChapterSpot is now re:Members CRM!'). It is a Salesforce-based CRM for fraternity and sorority headquarters paired with a chapter-specific member portal. Its own schema lists member and chapter relationship management, officer and role tracking, a branded member portal, billing and invoicing, integrated payment processing, online dues collection and a membership storefront, content and communications, learning management, e-signatures, risk and incident management, a chapter website builder, reporting dashboards, SSO, and automated membership workflows.

**Is ChapterSpot the same as re:Members?**

ChapterSpot is one product inside re:Members. re:Members is the parent brand that also sells Choice Finance (formerly Greekbill) and Unified Finance (formerly Billhighway) to the fraternal market, plus housing and fundraising tools. ChapterSpot became 're:Members CRM Platform' in the same multi-phase rebrand. Dueflow's comparisons with the two finance products are at dueflow.co/vs/greekbill and dueflow.co/vs/billhighway.

**How much does ChapterSpot / re:Members CRM cost?**

re:Members does not publish a price for the CRM Platform anywhere on remembers.com as of October 2026; every CRM page ends in 'Request a Demo', and the product is described with an implementation project, data migration, and ongoing managed services for headquarters. We will not guess a figure. Dueflow publishes its pricing: $0 platform fee for chapters and nationals, with members paying a flat processing fee ($2 ACH on dues under $100, $10 on $100–$399, $15 on $400+; cards $5, or $10/$15 + 3.3%; Klarna 6%).

**Can a single chapter sign up for ChapterSpot?**

re:Members describes the CRM Platform as 'Salesforce for Headquarters' for professional staff, with a member portal that members log into once their organization has implemented it; the public pages do not offer a chapter-level sign-up. Dueflow is self-serve for a chapter: a treasurer creates the account, imports the roster, connects the bank, and sends dues the same day, and nationals can join the oversight dashboard at $0.

**Does ChapterSpot collect dues?**

Yes, as one module. re:Members CRM lists 'Billing & Invoicing', 'Integrated Payment Processing', and 'Online Dues Collection & Membership Storefront', and its Salesforce page describes invoices, payments, and credits. Payment plans, payment methods, processing fees, reimbursements, budgeting, bank sync, and accounting sync are not described on the public pages. Dueflow includes all of those, plus a store, fundraising, and Form 990 filing, at $0 for the chapter.

**Can our nationals use re:Members CRM and our chapter use Dueflow?**

Yes. A national office can keep its CRM for member records, recruitment, and compliance while chapters run dues, reimbursements, and budgets on Dueflow; Dueflow's nationals dashboard gives HQ per-chapter collected, outstanding, and overdue at $0. Dueflow has no contract, so adding it does not require dropping anything.

**How do we move chapter dues from ChapterSpot to Dueflow?**

Export your roster and outstanding balances from the member portal or ask your HQ admin for the Salesforce report, create your Dueflow account, import members, connect the chapter bank account, and post the outstanding dues with payment plans where needed. Most chapters are live the same day, and because Dueflow has no contract you can run both in parallel for a cycle if you prefer.

## How we made this comparison

Written by Dueflow. Last verified October 7, 2026.

# Dueflow vs Eternitie

Last updated October 14, 2026

Dueflow pricing: $0 platform fees for chapters and nationals forever. Members pay a small processing fee per payment.

> Eternitie (eternitie.app) calls itself 'the operating system for Greek life': a self-updating alumni directory enriched from LinkedIn and public professional data, mentorship matching between actives and alumni, a rush pipeline (PNM profiles, ratings, votes, bid lists), alumni donations and giving campaigns, and chapter-wide email and SMS, each chapter on its own branded subdomain. Dues appear on its fraternity page as one line next to donations, and no price is published anywhere on the site. Dueflow is built for the treasurer: dues with payment plans and partial payments, reminders that stop when a member pays, reimbursements, budgeting with bank sync, a merch and ticket store, QuickBooks sync, Form 990 filing, and a free nationals dashboard, at a published $0 platform fee.

## What is the difference between Dueflow and Eternitie?

Eternitie calls itself "the operating system for Greek life": a self-updating alumni directory enriched from LinkedIn, mentorship matching, rush and recruitment pipelines, donations and giving campaigns, and email and SMS, with dues listed as one line item and no published price. Dueflow charges chapters no platform or per-member fee – a 100-member chapter pays $0 a year and members cover processing when they pay. Dueflow is the chapter's finance system: dues with payment plans, reminders, reimbursements, budgets, bank sync, QuickBooks, a store, and a free nationals dashboard.

## A quote-only alumni platform vs. a published $0.

Eternitie publishes no price: eternitie.app has no pricing page and none of its product pages states a platform, per-member, or processing fee, so this page shows no Eternitie dollar figure and none should be inferred. Dueflow's price is on its pricing page: chapters and nationals pay $0, members pay a flat processing fee only when they pay, and a chapter can sign up and send its first dues request without a sales call.

- Eternitie annual cost: Quote-only
- Dueflow annual cost: $0
- **Annual savings: Published $0**

## Key Stats

- **$0** Dueflow platform fee for chapters and nationals, published on /pricing. Eternitie: no published price anywhere on eternitie.app.
- **$2** Dueflow member ACH processing fee on dues under $100 ($10 for $100–$399, $15 for $400+). Eternitie: no payment method or processing fee published.
- **5 min** from Dueflow sign-up to first dues request. Eternitie: a branded per-chapter workspace set up with the vendor, pricing by demo.
- **15+** chapters Eternitie says are live (UT Austin, Georgia, Alabama, Oklahoma, Oregon State) on its Greek life software page. Its six headline features are directory, mentorship, rush, donations, communications, and dashboard; dues is a line inside 'donations, dues, and giving campaigns'.

## Dueflow vs Eternitie, feature by feature

| Feature | Dueflow | Eternitie |

| Contracts | No contracts | Terms not published; pricing by demo |

## When to choose Dueflow, and when Eternitie may fit.

We're biased, so here is the honest split.

### Choose Dueflow if the treasurer's books are the problem

Dues with payment plans, reimbursements, budgets, bank sync, QuickBooks, a store, fundraising, and Form 990 filing at $0 for the chapter, live the same day. The next treasurer inherits one set of books instead of a Venmo history.

### Choose Dueflow if you want the price published

No demo request and no quote: the member processing fee is on the pricing page and the chapter pays $0. Nationals join the oversight dashboard at $0 too.

### Eternitie may fit if the alumni network is the problem

If what your chapter needs is a directory that keeps alumni employers and cities current, mentorship matching, rush pipelines, and giving campaigns in one branded workspace, that is what Eternitie is built around; many chapters run it next to a dedicated dues tool.

## Dueflow vs Eternitie: common questions

**What is Eternitie?**

Eternitie (eternitie.app) is a Greek life platform whose core is a self-updating alumni directory: member profiles are enriched automatically from LinkedIn and public professional data. Around it, Eternitie adds mentorship matching, rush and recruitment (PNM profiles, ratings, votes, bid lists), alumni donations and giving campaigns, email and SMS communications, and a per-chapter admin dashboard, each organization on its own branded subdomain. It says 15+ chapters are live across UT Austin, Georgia, Alabama, Oklahoma, and Oregon State, and it sells the same platform to private schools' alumni-relations teams.

**How much does Eternitie cost?**

Eternitie does not publish a price as of October 2026: eternitie.app has no pricing page and its Greek life, fraternity, and sorority pages state no platform, per-member, or processing fee. We will not guess a figure. Dueflow's pricing is on dueflow.co/pricing: chapters and nationals pay $0, and members pay a flat processing fee only when they pay (from $2 on ACH dues under $100).

**Does Eternitie collect dues?**

Eternitie's fraternity software page lists 'donations, dues, and giving campaigns' and says chapters can 'collect dues from actives and donations from alumni'. Payment plans, payment methods, processing fees, reminders that stop on payment, reimbursements, budgeting, bank sync, accounting sync, and tax filing are not described on eternitie.app. Dueflow is built around exactly those: dues with payment plans and partial payments, published fees per method, reimbursements, budgets with bank sync, QuickBooks sync, and Form 990 filing.

**Is Eternitie a Dueflow alternative?**

Only partly. Eternitie is an alumni, mentorship, rush, and communications platform with dues as one feature; Dueflow is a chapter finance platform with a free nationals dashboard. A chapter that needs a living alumni network and recruitment pipeline is shopping for what Eternitie sells; a treasurer who needs to collect dues, approve reimbursements, and keep a budget is shopping for what Dueflow sells. The two are not mutually exclusive.

**Can a chapter use Eternitie and Dueflow together?**

Yes. Nothing on either product prevents it: a chapter can keep its alumni directory, mentorship, and rush pipeline in Eternitie and run dues, payment plans, reimbursements, and budgets on Dueflow. Dueflow has no contract and no platform fee, so adding it does not require dropping anything.

**Does Eternitie support national headquarters?**

Eternitie's llms.txt names 'Greek-life headquarters / national offices managing multiple chapters' as an audience, but its public pages describe per-chapter workspaces rather than an HQ finance view. Dueflow's nationals dashboard shows every chapter's collected, outstanding, and overdue balances at $0, with chapters keeping their own books.

**How do we move dues from Eternitie (or spreadsheets) to Dueflow?**

Export your roster and outstanding balances, create your Dueflow account, import members, connect the chapter bank account, and post the outstanding dues with payment plans where needed. Most chapters are live the same day, and because Dueflow has no contract there is nothing to cancel if you keep Eternitie for alumni and rush.

## How we made this comparison

Written by Dueflow. Last verified October 14, 2026.

Eternitie (styled 'eternitie', eternitie.app) describes itself as 'the operating system for Greek life' and also sells the same self-updating alumni platform to private and independent schools.

### What we compared

- A 100-member chapter over a full academic year (two semesters), the size we see most often.
- Platform and per-member fees only. Payment processing fees are listed separately because on Dueflow the member covers them, so the chapter's platform cost is $0.
- Published list pricing where the competitor publishes it. Where it does not, the figure is an estimate and we say so on this page.

### How we priced Eternitie

Eternitie publishes no price: eternitie.app has no pricing page (eternitie.app/pricing returns 404) and its product pages do not state a platform, per-member, or processing fee. This page therefore shows no competitor dollar figure and compares scope and terms only.

# Dueflow vs GreekWard

Last updated October 8, 2026

Dueflow pricing: $0 platform fees for chapters and nationals forever. Members pay a small processing fee per payment.

> GreekWard sells a headquarters command center (dues through Stripe, events, messaging, documents, forms) and tailors a plan after a demo. Dueflow gives chapters and nationals the same dues, payment-plan, and oversight tools at a published $0 platform fee, adds reimbursements, budgeting, a store, QuickBooks sync, and an AI assistant, and lets a treasurer sign up without a sales call.

## What is the difference between Dueflow and GreekWard?

GreekWard is a headquarters-first Greek life platform: dues and payment plans through Stripe, events, messaging, documents, and forms, sold through a demo with a plan tailored to your chapter count and no published price. Dueflow charges chapters no platform or per-member fee – a 100-member chapter pays $0 a year and members cover processing when they pay. A treasurer can sign up without a sales call, and nationals get the oversight dashboard at the same $0.

## Published pricing vs. a tailored quote.

GreekWard's site lists 'flexible pricing', free onboarding, dedicated support, and no long-term contracts, but no price: you book a demo and they tailor a plan to your chapter count, structure, and budget. Dueflow's price is on its pricing page: chapters and nationals pay $0, and members pay a flat processing fee only when they pay.

- GreekWard annual cost: Quote-only
- Dueflow annual cost: $0
- **Annual savings: Published $0**

## Key Stats

- **$0** Dueflow platform fee for chapters and nationals, published on /pricing. GreekWard: no published price.
- **$2** Dueflow member ACH processing fee on dues under $100 ($10 for $100–$399, $15 for $400+). GreekWard: processing terms not published.
- **5 min** from Dueflow sign-up to first dues request. GreekWard: demo request, then a tailored plan and vendor-run migration.
- **0** sales calls required to start on Dueflow. GreekWard's site routes every prospect to 'See GreekWard run your organization'.

## Dueflow vs GreekWard, feature by feature

| Feature | Dueflow | GreekWard |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Published pricing | $0 platform fee for chapters and nationals, member fee table on /pricing | 'Flexible pricing' – tailored quote after a demo, no price on greekward.com |
| Self-serve signup | Create an account and send dues in about 5 minutes, no sales call | Demo request; vendor sets up your organization portal |
| Dues collection & payment plans | Dues, payment plans, partial payments, bulk payments | Invoices and per-chapter / per-member payment plans through Stripe |
| Member payment methods | ACH, card, Apple Pay, Google Pay, Klarna buy-now-pay-later | 'Online through Stripe' – methods not itemized on the public site |
| Automated reminders | Unlimited email + SMS reminders that stop when the member pays | Automatic reminders and overdue flags (channel not specified) |
| Reimbursements | Receipt upload, one-click approval, automatic payout, audit trail | Not listed on greekward.com |
| Budgeting & bank sync | Bank transactions import automatically into budget buckets | Not listed on greekward.com |
| Merch & event store | Built-in store with inventory, tickets, and fundraisers | Events & ticketing with tiers, capacity, and check-in (no merch store listed) |
| Accounting export / sync | QuickBooks Online sync, Excel and CSV export | Exportable transaction history (no accounting sync listed) |
| Nationals / HQ oversight | Free nationals dashboard: per-chapter collected, outstanding, overdue | HQ command center laddered by region, district, and chapter |
| Messaging, documents, forms | Member portal plus email and SMS reminders; no chat channels or e-sign forms | Channels and DMs, audience-rule documents, e-signature forms, email campaigns |
| Form 990 filing | Deadline tracking, guided workpapers, CPA review | Not listed on greekward.com |
| AI finance assistant | Plain-English answers on outstanding dues, rates, and trends | Not listed on greekward.com |
| Contracts | No contracts | 'No long-term contracts' per greekward.com |

## When to choose Dueflow, and when GreekWard may fit.

We're biased, so here is the honest split.

### Choose Dueflow if the treasurer needs to start this week

No demo, no quote, no migration project. A chapter treasurer creates the account, adds members, and sends the first dues request the same day. Nationals can add chapters later without renegotiating a plan.

### Choose Dueflow if you want the whole money stack

GreekWard's public site covers dues in. Dueflow covers dues in, reimbursements out, budgets, bank sync, QuickBooks, a store, fundraising, and Form 990 filing, so the next treasurer inherits one set of books instead of a Stripe export plus spreadsheets.

### GreekWard may fit if HQ wants messaging, documents, and forms in the same tool

GreekWard bundles region/district/chapter chat channels, audience-rule document sharing, e-signature forms, and an email builder with its dues module. If your national office's priority is a single communications hub and it is comfortable with quote-based pricing, evaluate it. Dueflow focuses on the finance side and gives nationals oversight at $0.

## Dueflow vs GreekWard: common questions

**What is GreekWard?**

GreekWard (greekward.com) describes itself as 'the HQ command center for Greek life': a headquarters-first platform where national organizations manage chapters laddered by region, district, and chapter. Its public site lists dues and invoicing through Stripe with payment plans and automatic reminders, events and ticketing, messaging channels, document sharing with audience rules, e-signature forms, email campaigns, and an alumni directory. Each organization gets its own portal (for example lphie.greekward.com).

**How much does GreekWard cost?**

GreekWard does not publish pricing. As of September 2026 its site says 'We'll tailor a plan to your chapter count, structure and budget' and lists 'flexible pricing', free onboarding, dedicated support, and no long-term contracts. You have to request a demo to get a number. Dueflow publishes its pricing: $0 platform fee for chapters and nationals, with members paying a flat processing fee ($2 ACH on dues under $100, $10 on $100–$399, $15 on $400+; cards $5, or $10/$15 + 3.3%; Klarna 6%).

**Is Dueflow free for chapters like GreekWard?**

Dueflow is free for chapters and nationals: $0 platform fee, no per-member fee, no contract, permanently. GreekWard's price is not public, so we cannot say whether it is free; its site says a plan is tailored to your budget after a demo.

**Does GreekWard handle reimbursements, budgeting, or QuickBooks?**

Not that its public site mentions. greekward.com lists dues and invoicing, events, messaging, documents, email campaigns, forms, and alumni features, and an exportable transaction history. Dueflow includes reimbursements with an audit trail, budgeting with bank sync, QuickBooks Online sync, a merch and ticket store, fundraising, and Form 990 filing at $0.

**Can a single chapter use Dueflow if our national office uses GreekWard?**

Yes. Dueflow is self-serve, so a chapter treasurer can collect chapter dues, run reimbursements, and keep the chapter budget on Dueflow while reporting up to nationals however HQ requires. If your national office wants oversight, it can join Dueflow's nationals dashboard at no cost.

**How do we switch from GreekWard to Dueflow?**

Export your roster and outstanding balances from GreekWard (its site lists a complete, exportable transaction history), create your Dueflow account, import members, connect the chapter bank account, and post the outstanding dues with payment plans where needed. Most chapters are live the same day. Because Dueflow has no contract, you can run both in parallel for a cycle if you prefer.

## How we made this comparison

Written by Dueflow. Last verified September 18, 2026.

### What we compared

- A 100-member chapter over a full academic year (two semesters), the size we see most often.
- Platform and per-member fees only. Payment processing fees are listed separately because on Dueflow the member covers them, so the chapter's platform cost is $0.
- Published list pricing where the competitor publishes it. Where it does not, the figure is an estimate and we say so on this page.

### How we priced GreekWard

GreekWard does not publish pricing. Its site advertises flexible pricing, free onboarding, and no long-term contracts, and tailors a plan after a demo, so this page shows no dollar estimate for GreekWard and compares scope and terms instead.

# Dueflow vs re:Members

Last updated October 8, 2026

Dueflow pricing: $0 platform fees for chapters and nationals forever. Members pay a small processing fee per payment.

> re:Members (remembers.com) is the umbrella brand for two legacy Greek-life billing products: Greekbill, renamed re:Members Choice Finance, and Billhighway, renamed re:Members Unified Finance, plus a Salesforce-based CRM, housing, and fundraising tools sold to headquarters. Neither finance product publishes a price. Dueflow collects dues, runs payment plans, reimbursements, budgets, a store, and nationals oversight for a published $0 platform fee.

## What is the difference between Dueflow and re:Members?

re:Members is the parent brand of Greekbill (now re:Members Choice Finance) and Billhighway (now re:Members Unified Finance), plus a Salesforce-based CRM, housing, and fundraising tools sold to national headquarters; neither finance product publishes a price, and every product page routes to a demo request. Dueflow charges chapters no platform or per-member fee – a 100-member chapter pays $0 a year and members cover processing when they pay. Dueflow is one platform for the chapter and its nationals, with a published fee table, reimbursements, a store, AI, and a free oversight dashboard; the Greekbill and Billhighway comparison pages linked below cover each product in detail.

Looking for the re:Members login? That is [re:Members sign-in (Greekbill and Billhighway accounts)](https://www.remembers.com/login/), not Dueflow.

## Two products, one demo form, no price list.

remembers.com describes 'two membership & payment solutions' for the fraternal market: Choice Finance (formerly Greekbill), which a chapter can adopt without headquarters approval, and Unified Finance (formerly Billhighway), which gives headquarters visibility into chapter finances. Every path on the site ends at 'Request a Demo'; no per-member, per-semester, or processing fee is published. Dueflow's fee table is public: $0 to the chapter and nationals, with the member's processing fee listed per payment method on /pricing.

- re:Members annual cost: Quote-only
- Dueflow annual cost: $0
- **Annual savings: Published $0**

## Key Stats

- **$0** Dueflow platform fee for chapters and nationals, published on /pricing. re:Members: no published price for Choice Finance or Unified Finance.
- **2** finance products re:Members sells to the fraternal market (Choice Finance, formerly Greekbill; Unified Finance, formerly Billhighway). Dueflow: one platform for chapters and nationals.
- **$2** Dueflow member ACH processing fee on dues under $100 ($10 for $100–$399, $15 for $400+). re:Members: processing terms not published.
- **5 min** from Dueflow sign-up to first dues request. re:Members: demo request, then vendor-run setup and training sessions.

## Dueflow vs re:Members, feature by feature

| Feature | Dueflow | re:Members |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Published pricing | $0 platform fee for chapters and nationals, member fee table on /pricing | None on remembers.com – 'Request a Demo' for Choice Finance and Unified Finance |
| Self-serve signup | Create an account and send dues in about 5 minutes, no sales call | Demo request; Choice Finance can be adopted without HQ approval, but setup and training are vendor-run |
| Dues collection & payment plans | Dues, payment plans, partial payments, bulk payments | Invoice members for dues and fees; members pay online, by phone, or by mail |
| Member payment methods | ACH, card, Apple Pay, Google Pay, Klarna buy-now-pay-later | Credit/debit cards, ACH, paper checks, Apple Pay, pay-by-phone |
| Automated reminders | Unlimited email + SMS reminders that stop when the member pays | Text message alerts for new invoices (members opt in from their account) |
| Reimbursements | Receipt upload, one-click approval, automatic payout, audit trail | Pay chapter expenses from the platform; pre-loaded purchase card for authorized officers |
| Budgeting & bank sync | Bank transactions import automatically into budget buckets | Budget Wizard and Chapter Bank Sync listed for Choice Finance |
| Merch & event store | Built-in store with inventory, tickets, and fundraisers | Not listed on the fraternal payments pages |
| Accounting export / sync | QuickBooks Online sync, Excel and CSV export | Financial activity and reporting; automated accounting and reconciliation listed for Unified Finance |

| E-signature contracts | Not offered | Members sign contracts electronically; contract data in online reporting |
| Contracts | No contracts | Sold through a demo; terms not published |

## When to choose Dueflow, and when re:Members may fit.

We're biased, so here is the honest split.

### Choose Dueflow if you want a published price

Dueflow's $0 platform fee and per-method member processing fees are on /pricing. re:Members does not publish what Choice Finance or Unified Finance costs a chapter; the only public figures are invoice-derived numbers for the legacy Greekbill product.

### Choose Dueflow if chapter and nationals should share one system

Dueflow gives the treasurer and the national office the same platform at $0, so a chapter that starts alone does not have to migrate when HQ wants oversight. re:Members sells chapter-chosen and HQ-mandated finance as two separate products.

### re:Members may fit if HQ already runs its CRM and housing on it

re:Members bundles a Salesforce-based CRM, housing management, fundraising, and full-service 990 filing for national organizations, and says it serves 50+ national Greek organizations. If your headquarters mandates Unified Finance or wants paper-check and pay-by-phone options handled by the vendor, evaluate it.

## Dueflow vs re:Members: common questions

**What is re:Members?**

re:Members (remembers.com) is a membership-software company that sells to associations, chambers of commerce, and fraternal organizations. For fraternities and sororities it offers a Salesforce-based CRM platform, two finance products – re:Members Choice Finance (formerly Greekbill) and re:Members Unified Finance (formerly Billhighway) – plus housing and fundraising software. Its site says it serves 50+ national Greek organizations.

**Is Greekbill the same as re:Members?**

Yes. remembers.com states that 'Greekbill is now re:Members Choice Finance' as part of a multi-phased rebrand running through July 2026. Greekbill member logins now sit on remembers.com. Dueflow's detailed comparison is at dueflow.co/vs/greekbill.

**Is Billhighway the same as re:Members?**

Yes. remembers.com states that 'Billhighway is now re:Members Unified Finance.' Unified Finance is the headquarters-facing product that gives national offices visibility into chapter finances. Dueflow's detailed comparison is at dueflow.co/vs/billhighway.

**How much does re:Members cost a chapter?**

re:Members does not publish pricing for Choice Finance or Unified Finance; every product page ends at 'Request a Demo'. The only public figures are invoice-derived numbers for the legacy Greekbill product ($18 per member per semester plus 5.15% card processing, listed with sourcing on dueflow.co/vs/greekbill). Dueflow costs the chapter $0; members pay a published processing fee at checkout.

**What is the difference between re:Members Choice Finance and Unified Finance?**

According to remembers.com, Choice Finance is the chapter-chosen product: a chapter can 'start billing and paying chapter expenses without approval needed from Headquarters'. Unified Finance is the headquarters product: it 'offers Headquarters visibility and transparency into the organization's overall health' alongside the chapter billing tools. Dueflow covers both cases with one platform at $0.

**Can a chapter switch from re:Members to Dueflow mid-year?**

Yes. Dueflow imports the roster from a spreadsheet, and outstanding balances can be recreated as dues requests with payment plans. There is no contract or setup fee on Dueflow, so the switch cost is the time to import members and connect the chapter bank account – typically under an hour. Check your re:Members agreement for its own termination terms.

## How we made this comparison

- A 100-member chapter over a full academic year (two semesters), the size we see most often.

> GreekLink (greek-link.com) is an all-in-one chapter management app for fraternities and sororities: events, role-based chats, geofenced hour tracking, polls, AI flyers, GPA reports, a bylaw assistant, and 'dues collection & tracking' as one line item, priced at $32.50, $60 or $87.50 a month billed annually. Dueflow is the treasurer's system: dues with payment plans and a published fee per payment method, reimbursements, budgets, bank sync, QuickBooks, a store, and a free nationals dashboard, with a $0 platform fee for chapters.

## What is the difference between Dueflow and GreekLink?

GreekLink is a chapter operations app for fraternities and sororities – events with location check-in, role-based chats, geofenced hour tracking, polls, AI flyers, GPA reports, a bylaw assistant – with "dues collection & tracking" as one Starter line item and no published member payment methods or fees; it costs $32.50, $60 or $87.50 a month per chapter billed annually ($390, $720 or $1,050 a year by member count) after a 14-day trial with a card on file. Dueflow charges chapters no platform or per-member fee – a 100-member chapter pays $0 a year and members cover processing when they pay.

## A $720-a-year subscription vs. a published $0.

A 100-member chapter lands in GreekLink's Standard tier: $60 a month, $720 billed annually, per chapter. Dueflow's platform fee for that chapter is $0; members pay a published processing fee per payment method and the chapter can cover it or pass it on.

- GreekLink annual cost: $390–$1,050/yr
- Dueflow annual cost: $0
- **Annual savings: $720/yr**

## Key Stats

- **$0** Dueflow platform fee for chapters and nationals, published on /pricing. GreekLink: $390–$1,050 a year per chapter.

| Nationals / HQ oversight | Free nationals dashboard across every chapter at $0 | Multi-chapter rate for 5+ chapters by email; no HQ dashboard described |

## When to choose Dueflow, and when GreekLink may fit.

We're biased, so here is the honest split.

### Choose Dueflow if the treasurer's books are the problem

Dues with payment plans, reimbursements, budgets, bank sync, QuickBooks, a store and a nationals dashboard, all at a $0 platform fee for the chapter.

### Choose Dueflow if you do not want a per-chapter subscription

GreekLink is $390 to $1,050 a year depending on member count. Dueflow's chapter price is $0 and the member processing fee is on the pricing page.

### GreekLink may fit if chapter operations are the problem

If what the chapter needs is one app for events, role-based chats, geofenced study and service hours, polls, GPA reports and AI flyers, GreekLink is built around exactly that, and basic dues tracking inside it may be enough.

## Dueflow vs GreekLink: common questions

**What is GreekLink?**

GreekLink (greek-link.com) is a chapter management app for fraternities and sororities. Its site describes events with location-based check-in, role-restricted chats and channels, geofenced hour tracking, polls, AI-generated flyers, GPA reports parsed from grade screenshots, a bylaw AI assistant, meeting minutes from audio, and dues collection and tracking. Members use an iOS app; the chapter administrator subscribes on the website.

**How much does GreekLink cost?**

As of October 2026, greek-link.com/pricing lists three tiers billed annually per chapter: Starter at $32.50 a month ($390 a year, up to 60 members), Standard at $60 a month ($720 a year, about 61 to 150 members), and Pro at $87.50 a month ($1,050 a year, 151+ members). There is a 14-day trial with a card required, members use the app for free, and nationals buying for five or more chapters are asked to email for a multi-chapter rate. Dueflow charges chapters $0; members pay a published processing fee per payment method.

**Does GreekLink collect dues?**

GreekLink's pricing page lists 'dues collection & tracking' as a Starter feature. Its public pages do not state which payment methods members can use, what processing fee applies, whether payment plans or auto-reminders exist, or how collected dues reach the chapter's bank account, so we show those cells as 'not listed' rather than 'not offered'.

**Is GreekLink a Dueflow alternative?**

Partly. Both are sold to fraternity and sorority chapters, but GreekLink is built around operations (events, chats, hours, grades) with dues as one feature, while Dueflow is built around the treasurer's finances: dues with payment plans, reimbursements, budgets, bank sync, QuickBooks, a store and a nationals dashboard. If the pain is collecting money and keeping the books, Dueflow is the closer fit; if it is running meetings, hours and communication, GreekLink is.

**Can a chapter use GreekLink and Dueflow together?**

Yes. Chapters often run communication and attendance in one tool and money in another. Dueflow has no platform fee, so adding it alongside GreekLink costs the chapter $0; members pay only the published processing fee on each dues payment.

**Does GreekLink support national headquarters?**

GreekLink's pricing FAQ says organisations buying for five or more chapters can email for custom invoicing and a multi-chapter rate; no HQ dashboard is described on its site. Dueflow's nationals dashboard, which shows collections and delinquency across every chapter, is free for headquarters.

**How do we move dues from GreekLink (or spreadsheets) to Dueflow?**

Export your roster and outstanding balances, import them into Dueflow, and send the first dues request; most chapters are collecting within the same day. Dueflow's team migrates mid-cycle balances for you, and payment plans can start on the next installment.

GreekLink (greek-link.com; iOS app 'GreekLink - Chapter Management') is a chapter management app for fraternities and sororities: events, chats, hour tracking, polls, GPA reports and AI flyers, with dues collection and tracking as one feature.

### What we compared

- A 100-member chapter over a full academic year (two semesters), the size we see most often.
- Platform and per-member fees only. Payment processing fees are listed separately because on Dueflow the member covers them, so the chapter's platform cost is $0.
- Published list pricing where the competitor publishes it. Where it does not, the figure is an estimate and we say so on this page.

### How we priced GreekLink

GreekLink publishes three per-chapter tiers on greek-link.com/pricing, billed annually: Starter $32.50/mo ($390/yr, up to 60 members), Standard $60/mo ($720/yr, ~61–150 members), Pro $87.50/mo ($1,050/yr, 151+ members), with a 14-day trial that requires a card. The pricing and features pages do not state member payment methods or any processing fee on dues, so the comparison covers the subscription only; the $720/yr figure assumes a 100-member chapter on the Standard tier.

WildApricot's 100-contact plan is $59.40 a month pre-paid for a year ($712.80) or $66 a month billed monthly ($792), and every card payment carries 2.99% + 30¢ through Personify Payments – about $1,495 on $50,000 in dues – that the chapter or the member absorbs. A chapter whose database also holds alumni, parents, or recruits moves to a larger tier. Dueflow charges chapters $0 and takes no percentage.

## When to choose Dueflow, and when WildApricot may fit.

We're biased, so here is the honest split.

### Choose Dueflow if you are a fraternity or sorority chapter

WildApricot is configured for any association. Dueflow's roster, dues by semester, payment plans, parent payers, chapter budgets, and free nationals dashboard exist because Greek-life chapters work that way, and the chapter pays $0 with no percentage of dues.

### Choose Dueflow if you want the whole money stack

WildApricot covers payments in and financial reports. Dueflow covers dues in, reimbursements out, budgets, bank sync, QuickBooks, a store, fundraising, Form 990 filing, and an AI assistant, so the next treasurer inherits one set of books.

### WildApricot may fit if you are an alumni association or club

WildApricot bundles a hosted website, a searchable member directory, event registration, email, and mobile apps, and serves associations, clubs, and nonprofits of every kind. If you are an alumni chapter or club that needs a public website and directory more than semester dues and nationals oversight, evaluate it. Dueflow focuses on chapter finance at $0.

## Dueflow vs WildApricot: common questions

**What is WildApricot?**

WildApricot (wildapricot.com) is general-purpose membership management software from Personify for associations, clubs, chambers, and nonprofits. Its public site lists a contact database, a website builder with members-only pages, event registration, email, online payments and donations, an online store, mobile apps, and multi-chapter management. It publishes a guide aimed at fraternity and sorority chapters and alumni associations, but the product is not built for Greek-life chapters specifically.

**How much does WildApricot cost?**

WildApricot's pricing page prices by contact count. The 100-contact plan is $66 a month billed monthly, $59.40 a month pre-paid for one year, or $56.10 a month pre-paid for two years, with larger tiers at 250, 500, 2,000, 5,000, 15,000, and 50,000 contacts and a 60-day free trial (checked October 2026). Card processing through Personify Payments is 2.99% + 30¢ (3.5% + 30¢ for American Express). Dueflow publishes its pricing: $0 platform fee for chapters and nationals, no percentage, with members paying a flat processing fee ($2 ACH on dues under $100, $10 on $100–$399, $15 on $400+; cards $5, or $10/$15 + 3.3%; Klarna 6%).

**Is Dueflow free for chapters?**

Yes. Dueflow is free for chapters and nationals permanently: $0 platform fee, no per-member fee, no percentage of collections, no contract. WildApricot has no platform fee of its own on transactions, but charges a monthly subscription by contact count and routes payments through Personify Payments at 2.99% + 30¢ per card payment – about $1,495 on $50,000 in dues.

**Does WildApricot handle reimbursements, budgeting, or Form 990 filing?**

Not that its public site mentions. wildapricot.com lists online payments, donations, recurring charges, financial reports, a QuickBooks integration, an online store, and events. Dueflow includes reimbursements with an audit trail, budgeting with bank sync, QuickBooks Online sync, a merch and ticket store, fundraising, and Form 990 filing at $0.

**Is WildApricot built for fraternities and sororities?**

No. WildApricot is a general association and club tool that markets to Greek chapters among many other organization types. Dueflow is built only for Greek-life chapters and their national headquarters: dues cycles by semester, payment plans, parent payers, chapter budgets, and a free nationals dashboard with per-chapter collected, outstanding, and overdue.

**How do we switch from WildApricot to Dueflow?**

Export your contacts and outstanding invoices from WildApricot, create your Dueflow account, import members, connect the chapter bank account, and post the outstanding dues with payment plans where needed. Most chapters are live the same day. Because Dueflow has no contract, you can run both in parallel until your WildApricot subscription period ends.

**What are the best Wild Apricot alternatives for fraternity and sorority chapters?**

It depends on what the chapter needs. The general membership tools that compete with WildApricot – Join It, Memberplanet, Glue Up, MemberClicks and Neon CRM – keep the same contact-database-and-website shape and price by contacts or members. For a fraternity or sorority chapter the closer alternatives are Greek-life platforms built around semester dues: OmegaFi and Greekbill (re:Members) bill the chapter per member, MyGreek and Crowded pair dues collection with a new chapter bank account, and Dueflow charges the chapter $0, keeps your existing bank account, and adds payment plans, reimbursements, budgeting, a merch store, QuickBooks sync and Form 990 filing. If your members are alumni or a non-Greek club with a public website to run, WildApricot or one of the general tools is the better fit; if you collect dues from an active chapter roster every semester, a Greek-life platform is.

This page uses the 100-contact annual plan ($59.40 × 12 = $712.80, shown as $713) for a 100-member chapter. A chapter whose database also holds alumni, parents, or recruits exceeds 100 contacts and moves to a higher tier. Payment processing through Personify Payments is 2.99% + 30¢ (3.5% + 30¢ for American Express) and is excluded from the annual figure; third-party processors carry an additional servicing fee WildApricot discloses on its help site.

Dueflow is the chapter management platform built for the treasurer: dues with payment plans, reimbursements, budgeting with bank sync, a merch and ticket store, QuickBooks sync, Form 990 filing, and a free nationals dashboard, with no platform fee for chapters or nationals.

## What is the difference between Dueflow and ChapterBuilder?

ChapterBuilder is Phired Up's recruitment CRM for fraternity and sorority chapters – unlimited leads, lead profiles, interest and event forms, tasks, statuses, milestones, a leaderboard, and in-app texting and calling on paid tiers – published at free for up to 10 users, $600 a year for ChapterBuilder Plus, and $850 a year for ChapterBuilder Pro, often bundled into a campus or headquarters partnership. It does not collect dues or handle any chapter money. Dueflow charges chapters no platform or per-member fee – a 100-member chapter pays $0 a year and members cover processing when they pay. Dueflow picks up where recruitment ends: new member fees and dues with payment plans, reimbursements, budgeting with bank sync, a store, QuickBooks sync, Form 990 filing, and a free nationals dashboard, and chapters run it alongside ChapterBuilder with no contract.

## A published recruitment subscription vs. a published $0.

ChapterBuilder's page publishes an 'Annual Investment' table: Free for up to 10 users, ChapterBuilder Plus at $600 with unlimited users, and ChapterBuilder Pro at $850. The same page says many campuses and headquarters already include it in a Phired Up partnership. Dueflow's price is on its pricing page: chapters and nationals pay $0, and members pay a flat processing fee only when they pay dues.

- ChapterBuilder annual cost: $600/yr*
- Dueflow annual cost: $0
- **Annual savings: $600+ a year**

## Key Stats

- **$0** Dueflow platform fee for chapters and nationals, published on /pricing. ChapterBuilder: free for 10 users, then $600 or $850 a year.
- **$2** Dueflow member ACH processing fee on dues under $100 ($10 for $100–$399, $15 for $400+). ChapterBuilder: does not process payments.
- **5 min** from Dueflow sign-up to first dues request. ChapterBuilder: free tier is instant; Plus and Pro are annual subscriptions.
- **3,900+** chapters ChapterBuilder's page says have used it to grow. Every one of them still needs somewhere to bill the members it recruits.

## Dueflow vs ChapterBuilder, feature by feature

| Feature | Dueflow | ChapterBuilder |
| --- | --- | --- |

| Contracts | No contracts | Annual tiers; contract terms beyond the annual price not published |

## When to choose Dueflow, and when ChapterBuilder fits.

We're biased, so here is the honest split.

### Choose Dueflow if the job is collecting and managing money

Dues with payment plans, reimbursements, budgets, bank sync, QuickBooks, a store, fundraising, and Form 990 filing at $0 for the chapter. ChapterBuilder has none of these; it is not a dues or finance tool.

### Choose Dueflow if you want the price published before you start

No annual tier to budget for, no partnership to check, and the member processing fee is on the pricing page. Nationals join the oversight dashboard at $0 too.

### ChapterBuilder fits if the problem is recruitment, not collection

If your chapter needs a shared pipeline of potential new members, interest forms, follow-up tasks, and a leaderboard for recruitment activity, ChapterBuilder is built around exactly that and its free tier covers 10 users. Many chapters run ChapterBuilder for recruitment and Dueflow for money; Dueflow has no contract, so you can add it without dropping anything.

## Dueflow vs ChapterBuilder: common questions

**What is ChapterBuilder?**

ChapterBuilder is a recruitment CRM for fraternity and sorority chapters made by Phired Up (chapterbuilder.com redirects to phiredup.com/chapterbuilder). Its page calls it 'the smartest way to grow your chapter year-round': unlimited leads, lead profiles, interest and event forms, tasks, statuses, tags, milestones, a leaderboard, relationship notes, and on paid tiers in-app texting and calling. It is one of several Phired Up tools alongside CampusDirector, the HQ Dashboard, the Council Dashboard, MyVote, and a Companion App.

**How much does ChapterBuilder cost?**

As of September 2026, the ChapterBuilder page publishes an 'Annual Investment' table: Free for up to 10 users with unlimited leads, two forms, tasks, and a leaderboard; ChapterBuilder Plus at $600 with unlimited users, unlimited forms, event forms, in-app texting and calling, internal messaging, and four additional reports; and ChapterBuilder Pro at $850 adding a 1:1 meeting scheduler, a personalized onboarding session, four additional phone lines, and 1,200 additional texts. The same table also lists Standard $60 and Pro $85 tiers. Phired Up notes many campuses and headquarters already include ChapterBuilder in a partnership. Dueflow publishes its pricing: $0 platform fee for chapters and nationals, with members paying a flat processing fee ($2 ACH on dues under $100, $10 on $100–$399, $15 on $400+; cards $5, or $10/$15 + 3.3%; Klarna 6%).

**Does ChapterBuilder collect dues?**

No. Nothing on phiredup.com/chapterbuilder describes dues billing, payments, payment plans, reimbursements, budgeting, or accounting; ChapterBuilder is a recruitment and relationship-tracking tool. Dueflow does all of those, at $0 for the chapter.

**Is ChapterBuilder chapter management software?**

It manages one part of the chapter: recruitment. Chapter management software in the sense treasurers and presidents usually mean, meaning dues, member records with balances, reimbursements, budgets, event sales, and reporting to advisors and nationals, is what Dueflow does. AI answers and directories often list ChapterBuilder under 'chapter management' because Phired Up sells it to councils and headquarters, so it is worth checking which job you are hiring for.

**Can we use ChapterBuilder and Dueflow together?**

Yes. There is no overlap: ChapterBuilder runs the recruitment pipeline, Dueflow bills the members who join and runs the chapter's finances. Dueflow has no contract and a treasurer can sign up without a sales call, so adding it does not require dropping ChapterBuilder or any campus partnership.

**What are the alternatives to ChapterBuilder?**

For recruitment specifically, chapters compare ChapterBuilder with the rush and recruitment modules inside broader chapter apps such as Greek Connect or Greekly, and with spreadsheets. For everything that happens after the bid, meaning dues, reimbursements, budgets, a store, and nationals reporting, Dueflow is the alternative at $0 for the chapter; see the Dueflow comparisons with OmegaFi, Greekbill, Billhighway, and Greek Connect for the finance-side options.

# Dueflow vs LegFi

Last updated October 8, 2026

Dueflow pricing: $0 platform fees for chapters and nationals forever. Members pay a small processing fee per payment.

> No per-member fees. No clunky portals. No spreadsheet panic. Just dues that actually work.

## What is the difference between Dueflow and LegFi?

LegFi bills per member per month across its plan tiers, with tax filing sold alongside billing. Dueflow charges chapters no platform or per-member fee – a 100-member chapter pays $0 a year and members cover processing when they pay.

## Chapters don't switch platforms for fun.

The numbers speak for themselves.

- LegFi annual cost: $6,000
- Dueflow annual cost: $0
- **Annual savings: $6,000**

## Key Stats

- **5 mins** from sign up to sending your first dues request
- **0** per member fees, and 0 percentage skims. Members pay a small, flat, processing fee.
- **0%** of funds withheld. We never touch your money.

## Legacy platforms weren't built for modern chapters.

| Feature | Dueflow | LegFi |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Chapter fees | $0 platform fee – forever | $3-9 per member per month in fees |
| Setup time | Live in under 5 minutes | Days to weeks to set up |
| Processing fee structure | 3.3% processing (bank interchange rate) | Up to 7% of dues skimmed |
| Automated reminders | Automated SMS + email reminders | Manual or limited reminders |
| Actionable insights | Real-time actionable financial insights | Basic static reports |
| Member payment options | Cards, ACH, Apple Pay, + Klarna | Limited payment options |
| Data exports | Export to Excel, CSV, QuickBooks | Limited integration options |
| Buy Now Pay Later | Klarna + Afterpay included | No BNPL options |

## Here's why chapters choose Dueflow over LegFi.

### Automatic dues collection – no more chasing

Smart reminders and payment retries across SMS, email, and in-app. No more chasing Venmo screenshots. 60–70% fewer late dues.

### Lower total cost by default.

Dueflow challenges the rip-off that legacy platforms are. No per-member platform fees. Transparent processing. Built to minimize what chapters actually pay. You save an avg ~$6,000 per year vs LegFi.

### Real-time clarity that survives turnover

Live balances, budgets, and outstanding dues – not spreadsheets or CSV exports. Clean handoffs when officers graduate. Always know where the money is.

## LegFi vs Dueflow: Common Questions

**Is migrating from LegFi difficult?**

Not at all. Export your member list from LegFi, and import it into Dueflow in under 2 minutes. We handle the rest.

**What about our historical payment data?**

You can export all historical data from LegFi before switching. Dueflow starts fresh, but many treasurers find starting clean is actually easier for their records.

**How do the fees compare?**

LegFi charges chapters $10-$30 per member per semester, plus processing fees. Dueflow charges $0 to chapters–members only pay the cheapest processing (3.3% for cards, and the cheapest flat ACH available).

**Can I try Dueflow before fully switching?**

Yes! You can set up Dueflow and run it alongside LegFi for a semester to compare. Once you're confident, fully transition whenever you're ready.

**What if my national organization mandates LegFi?**

Many nationals are open to alternatives that save chapters money. We can help you make the case with data on cost savings and improved collection rates.

## Common questions about switching from BillHighway

**How does Dueflow pricing compare to BillHighway?**

BillHighway charges per-member platform fees plus processing fees. Dueflow charges zero platform fees – chapters pay nothing. Members cover the processing cost + $1-2 per payment to cover our end.

**Can we migrate from BillHighway to Dueflow?**

Yes. Most chapters set up Dueflow in 5 minutes. Add your members, connect your bank account, and start collecting. No complex migration needed.

**Does Dueflow support nationals like BillHighway?**

Yes. National organizations get a free dashboard with cross-chapter analytics, organization-wide reminders, and consolidated reporting.

**What payment methods does Dueflow have that BillHighway doesn't?**

Dueflow supports ACH, cards, Apple Pay, Google Pay, and Klarna buy-now-pay-later. More payment options means higher collection rates.

**Does Billhighway charge a credit card fee?**

Yes. Billhighway's own materials list a credit card processing fee of around 2.7% plus a 1.3% Billhighway service fee on each transaction, and some organizations pass an additional convenience fee (commonly 2.25%-3%) to members paying by card. Exact rates vary by organization. With Dueflow, chapters pay $0 in platform fees and members pay a single flat processing fee (3.3% for cards) with no added service fee.

## How we made this comparison

Written by Dueflow. Last verified August 15, 2026.

Billhighway is now branded re:Members Unified Finance.

### What we compared

- A 100-member chapter over a full academic year (two semesters), the size we see most often.
- Platform and per-member fees only. Payment processing fees are listed separately because on Dueflow the member covers them, so the chapter's platform cost is $0.
- Published list pricing where the competitor publishes it. Where it does not, the figure is an estimate and we say so on this page.

### How we priced BillHighway

Billhighway does not publish pricing. Our annual figure is an estimate for a 100-member chapter, not a quote from Billhighway – if you have a current invoice that says otherwise, send it to us and we will correct this page.

# Dueflow vs Greek Capital Management

Last updated October 8, 2026

Dueflow pricing: $0 platform fees for chapters and nationals forever. Members pay a small processing fee per payment.

> No per-member fees. No clunky portals. No spreadsheet panic. Just dues that actually work.

## What is the difference between Dueflow and Greek Capital Management?

Greek Capital Management manages chapter finances as a service and bills the chapter for it. Dueflow charges chapters no platform or per-member fee – a 100-member chapter pays $0 a year and members cover processing when they pay. You keep control of the account and the reporting instead of routing it through a manager.

## Chapters don't switch platforms for fun.

The numbers speak for themselves.

- Greek Capital Management annual cost: $5,000
- Dueflow annual cost: $0
- **Annual savings: $5,000**

## Key Stats

- **5 mins** from sign up to sending your first dues request
- **0** per member fees, and 0 percentage skims. Members pay a small, flat, processing fee.
- **0%** of funds withheld. We never touch your money.

## Legacy platforms weren't built for modern chapters.

| Feature | Dueflow | Greek Capital Management |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Chapter fees | $0 platform fee – forever | $25/member/semester ($50/year) |
| Contracts | No contracts – cancel anytime | 1-year auto-renewing, $50/member to cancel |
| Processing fee structure | 3.3% processing (bank interchange rate) | 4% + 30¢ cards, high ACH |
| Automated reminders | Automated SMS + email reminders | Email only – no text reminders |
| Actionable insights | Real-time actionable financial insights | Basic static reports |
| Member payment options | Cards, ACH, Apple Pay, + Klarna | Limited payment options |
| Data exports | Export to Excel, CSV, QuickBooks | Limited integration options |
| Buy Now Pay Later | Klarna + Afterpay included | No BNPL options |

## Here's why chapters choose Dueflow over Greek Capital Management.

### Automatic dues collection – no more chasing

Smart reminders and payment retries across SMS, email, and in-app. GCM only offers email. 60–70% fewer late dues with Dueflow.

### No contracts, no cancellation penalties.

GCM locks you into a 1-year auto-renewing contract with a $50/member cancellation fee. Dueflow is free forever with no contracts. You save ~$5,000 per year on a 100-member chapter.

### Real-time clarity that survives turnover

Live balances, budgets, and outstanding dues – not manual collection and basic reports. Clean handoffs when officers graduate. Always know where the money is.

## GCM vs Dueflow: Common Questions

**Is migrating from Greek Capital Management difficult?**

Not at all. Export your member list from GCM and import it into Dueflow in under 2 minutes. We handle the rest.

**What about our GCM contract?**

GCM requires 1 year advance notice or a $50/member cancellation fee to exit their auto-renewing contract. We recommend setting up Dueflow and giving notice to GCM simultaneously–you can run both during the transition.

**How do the fees compare?**

GCM charges $25 per member per semester ($50/year) in platform fees, plus 4% + 30¢ for card processing. Dueflow charges $0 to chapters–members only pay the cheapest card processing we could do (3.3% for cards, and flat processing cost for ACH).

**Can I try Dueflow before fully switching?**

Yes! You can set up Dueflow and run it alongside GCM for a semester to compare. Once you're confident, fully transition whenever you're ready.

**What if my national organization mandates GCM?**

Many nationals are open to alternatives that save chapters money. We can help you make the case with data on cost savings and improved collection rates.

Greek Capital Management's pricing page does not list prices – it books a 15-minute call. The $25 per member per semester figure and the cancellation terms on this page come from chapter agreements, not from a public GCM price list, so verify them against your own quote before deciding.

## What is the difference between Dueflow and GreekBill?

Greekbill still exists, but is sold under re:Members Choice Finance. It charges per member per semester, feels clunky, and takes a very high processing fee.

Dueflow was built by treasurers who used Greekbill, and who wanted a better way. We charge chapters no platform or per-member fee, and put collections on autopilot.

## GreekBill vs Dueflow: Common Questions

**Is migrating from GreekBill difficult?**

Not at all. Export your member list from GreekBill (now re:Members), and import it into Dueflow in under 2 minutes. We handle the rest.

**What about our historical payment data?**

You can export all historical data from GreekBill before switching. Dueflow starts fresh, but many treasurers find starting clean is actually easier for their records.

**How do the fees compare?**

GreekBill charges $18 per member per semester ($36/year) in platform fees, plus 5.15% + 30¢ for card processing and 3% for ACH. Dueflow charges $0 to chapters–members only pay the cheapest we could get processing (3.3% for cards, and a maximum cap of $15 for large ACH transfers).

Yes! You can set up Dueflow and run it alongside GreekBill for a semester to compare. Once you're confident, fully transition whenever you're ready.

# Dueflow vs Greekstack

Last updated October 8, 2026

Dueflow pricing: $0 platform fees for chapters and nationals forever. Members pay a small processing fee per payment.

> Greekstack sells a branded chapter website – recruitment pipeline, dues, treasury, events, elections, alumni – for $1,000 a year or $25 a week after a free first month, and every plan takes 5% of dues, tickets, and alumni giving on top. A 100-member chapter collecting $50,000 pays Greekstack about $3,500 a year. Dueflow charges chapters and nationals $0 with no percentage cut, and adds reimbursements, budgeting, a store, QuickBooks sync, Form 990 filing, and an AI assistant.

## What is the difference between Dueflow and Greekstack?

Greekstack is a branded chapter-website platform (recruitment pipeline, dues, treasury, events, elections, alumni) priced at $1,000 a year or $25 a week after a free first month, or a $25 dues-share site, and every plan takes 5% of everything the chapter collects. A chapter collecting $50,000 in dues pays Greekstack $2,500 in platform share alone. Dueflow charges chapters no platform or per-member fee – a 100-member chapter pays $0 a year and members cover processing when they pay.

## $3,500 a year: a subscription plus a 5% cut of your dues.

Greekstack's pricing page lists $1,000 a year or $25 a week, plus a 5% platform share of everything the chapter collects. On $50,000 in dues that is $2,500 in share and $3,500 all in. Dueflow charges chapters $0 and takes no percentage; members pay a flat processing fee only when they pay.

- Greekstack annual cost: $3,500
- Dueflow annual cost: $0
- **Annual savings: $3,500**

## Key Stats

- **5%** Greekstack platform share of every dollar collected – dues, tickets, alumni giving – on every plan. Dueflow: 0%.
- **$2,500** Greekstack's cut of $50,000 in dues, before the $1,000/year subscription. Dueflow's cut: $0.
- **$2** Dueflow member ACH processing fee on dues under $100 ($10 for $100–$399, $15 for $400+). Greekstack: 5% including Stripe.
- **5 min** from Dueflow sign-up to first dues request. Greekstack: free first month, card on file, branded site setup.

## Dueflow vs Greekstack, feature by feature

| Feature | Dueflow | Greekstack |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Published pricing | $0 platform fee for chapters and nationals, member fee table on /pricing | $1,000/year or $25/week after a free first month, or a $25 dues-share site; all plans take 5% of collections |
| Self-serve signup | Create an account and send dues in about 5 minutes, no sales call | Self-serve; add a card, first charge on day 30 |
| Dues collection & payment plans | Dues, payment plans, partial payments, bulk payments | Dues and treasury with a 5% platform share |

| Automated reminders | Unlimited email + SMS reminders that stop when the member pays | Dues reminders |

| Budgeting & bank sync | Bank transactions import automatically into budget buckets | Treasury balance tracking; no bank sync listed |
| Merch & event store | Built-in store with inventory, tickets, and fundraisers | Event tickets (5% share); no merch store listed |

| AI finance assistant | Plain-English answers on outstanding dues, rates, and trends | Not listed on greekstack.app |
| Contracts | No contracts | Annual or weekly billing, cancel anytime |

## When to choose Dueflow, and when Greekstack may fit.

We're biased, so here is the honest split.

### Choose Dueflow if you want to keep every dollar you bill

A 5% share on $50,000 in dues is $2,500 a year before the subscription. Dueflow charges chapters and nationals $0 and takes no percentage; the member pays a flat processing fee only when they pay.

### Choose Dueflow if you want the whole money stack

Greekstack's treasury covers dues in. Dueflow covers dues in, reimbursements out, budgets, bank sync, QuickBooks, a store, fundraising, Form 990 filing, and an AI assistant, so the next treasurer inherits one set of books.

### Greekstack may fit if you want a branded chapter website with rush built in

Greekstack's product is a public chapter site with a recruitment pipeline, elections, and alumni giving alongside dues. If a branded website is the priority and the chapter accepts a 5% share of collections plus a subscription, evaluate it. Dueflow focuses on chapter finance and nationals oversight at $0.

## Dueflow vs Greekstack: common questions

**What is Greekstack?**

Greekstack (greekstack.app) sells a branded chapter website for fraternities and sororities with a recruitment pipeline, dues and treasury, events and tickets, elections, and alumni giving on one site – 'Run your chapter like a company'. It is a newer entrant that launched with a free first month and card-on-file billing.

**How much does Greekstack cost?**

Greekstack's pricing page lists $1,000 a year or $25 a week after a free first month, or a $25 dues-share site, and every plan takes a 5% platform share of dues, tickets, and alumni collections (which Greekstack says includes Stripe processing). A chapter collecting $50,000 pays about $3,500 a year on the annual plan. Dueflow publishes its pricing: $0 platform fee for chapters and nationals, no percentage share, with members paying a flat processing fee ($2 ACH on dues under $100, $10 on $100–$399, $15 on $400+; cards $5, or $10/$15 + 3.3%; Klarna 6%).

**Is Dueflow free for chapters like Greekstack's free first month?**

Dueflow is free for chapters and nationals permanently: $0 platform fee, no per-member fee, no percentage of collections, no contract. Greekstack's free month ends on day 30, after which the subscription and the 5% share apply.

**Does Greekstack handle reimbursements, budgeting, or QuickBooks?**

Not that its public site mentions. greekstack.app lists dues, treasury balances, events, tickets, recruitment, elections, and alumni. Dueflow includes reimbursements with an audit trail, budgeting with bank sync, QuickBooks Online sync, a merch and ticket store, fundraising, and Form 990 filing at $0.

**Does Greekstack have a nationals dashboard?**

Its public site does not list one; Greekstack is sold per chapter. Dueflow's nationals dashboard is free: per-chapter collected, outstanding, and overdue, comparative analytics, and organization-wide reporting.

**How do we switch from Greekstack to Dueflow?**

Export your roster and outstanding balances from Greekstack, create your Dueflow account, import members, connect the chapter bank account, and post the outstanding dues with payment plans where needed. Most chapters are live the same day. Greekstack bills weekly or annually, so check your renewal date; Dueflow has no contract.

## How we made this comparison

Written by Dueflow. Last verified September 19, 2026.

### What we compared

- A 100-member chapter over a full academic year (two semesters), the size we see most often.
- Platform and per-member fees only. Payment processing fees are listed separately because on Dueflow the member covers them, so the chapter's platform cost is $0.
- Published list pricing where the competitor publishes it. Where it does not, the figure is an estimate and we say so on this page.

### How we priced Greekstack

Greekstack publishes three plans: $1,000 a year or $25 a week after a free first month, or a $25 one-time dues-share site. Every plan also takes 5% of everything collected through the platform, with Stripe processing inside that 5%. This page uses the $1,000 annual plan plus 5% of $50,000 in dues ($2,500) for the 100-member chapter, which is $3,500 a year.

# Dueflow vs GreekTrack

Last updated October 8, 2026

Dueflow pricing: $0 platform fees for chapters and nationals forever. Members pay a small processing fee per payment.

> GreekTrack covers chapter management basics but charges fees and lacks modern payments. Dueflow gives you dues, members, events, reimbursements, merch sales, and AI financial insights – all free.

## What is the difference between Dueflow and GreekTrack?

GreekTrack is membership and event management software for chapters and their headquarters – attendance, events, points, and reporting with dues billing alongside – and it does not publish pricing, so the cost on this page is an estimate. Dueflow charges chapters no platform or per-member fee – a 100-member chapter pays $0 a year and members cover processing when they pay. Dueflow leads with dues, payment plans, reimbursements, budgets, and a merch store, and nationals get the oversight dashboard at the same $0.

## Savings

- GreekTrack annual cost: $3,500
- Dueflow annual cost: $0
- **Annual savings: $3,500**

## Key Stats

- **5 min** Average setup time

## Why chapters choose Dueflow over GreekTrack

| Feature | Dueflow | GreekTrack |

| Setup Time | Live in 5 minutes | Days to weeks to set up |

## Common questions about switching from GreekTrack

**How is Dueflow different from GreekTrack?**

Both handle dues and member management. Dueflow adds reimbursement workflows, a merch store, AI assistant, Klarna BNPL, SMS reminders, and nationals dashboards – all at zero cost to chapters.

**Does Dueflow handle chapter ops beyond finances?**

Yes. Member management, events and merch through the store, email and SMS communication, and a member portal where brothers see dues, payments, and submit reimbursements.

**Can we switch without losing data?**

Set up Dueflow in 5 minutes – add members, connect your bank, and start collecting. Start fresh with clean, organized records.

**Does Dueflow do recruitment tracking?**

Dueflow focuses on financial and operational management. For dedicated recruitment, chapters sometimes pair Dueflow with a rush-specific tool.

## How we made this comparison

Written by Dueflow. Last verified August 15, 2026.

### What we compared

- A 100-member chapter over a full academic year (two semesters), the size we see most often.
- Platform and per-member fees only. Payment processing fees are listed separately because on Dueflow the member covers them, so the chapter's platform cost is $0.
- Published list pricing where the competitor publishes it. Where it does not, the figure is an estimate and we say so on this page.

### How we priced GreekTrack

GreekTrack does not publish pricing publicly and its site blocks automated checks, so the $6–10 per member per month figure on this page is an estimate we cannot verify against a public source. Send us a current quote and we will update it.

Glue Up is all-in-one association management software for associations, chambers of commerce, and membership communities – a CRM, membership renewals and invoicing, event management, email marketing, and online payments – with glueup.com/pricing listing 'starting from' ranges of $3,000 to $6,500 a year for Essential and $8,000 to $18,500 a year for Advanced, billed annually and varying by organization size, with Enterprise and the multi-chapter power-up by quote; it does not mention fraternities, sororities, semester dues, or payment plans. Dueflow charges chapters no platform or per-member fee – a 100-member chapter pays $0 a year and members cover processing when they pay. Dueflow is the chapter's finance system: dues with payment plans and a published fee per payment method, reminders, reimbursements, budgets, bank sync, QuickBooks, a store, and a free nationals dashboard.

## From $3,000 a year to a published $0.

Glue Up's pricing page says Essential starts from $3,000 to $6,500 a year and Advanced from $8,000 to $18,500 a year, all billed annually, with the note that pricing 'may vary based on organization size and requirements'; Enterprise and the Chapter Management power-up are quoted. Dueflow's price is on its pricing page: chapters and nationals pay $0, members pay a flat processing fee only when they pay, and a chapter can sign up and send its first dues request without a sales call.

- Glue Up annual cost: $3,000+/yr
- Dueflow annual cost: $0
- **Annual savings: $3,000+**

## Key Stats

- **$3,000** the low end of Glue Up's Essential plan ('starting from $3,000 - $6,500/Yr', billed annually). Dueflow platform fee for chapters and nationals: $0, published on /pricing.
- **$8,000** the low end of Glue Up's Advanced plan ('$8,000 - $18,500/Yr'); Enterprise is quote-only. Dueflow has one plan and it is free for the chapter.
- **90 days** Glue Up: 'most clients go live within 90 days' after a demo and a proposal. Dueflow: about 5 minutes from sign-up to first dues request.
- **$2** Dueflow member ACH processing fee on dues under $100 ($10 for $100-$399, $15 for $400+). Glue Up: online payments and invoicing are included in Essential; the processing fee is not published.

| Published pricing | $0 platform fee for chapters and nationals, member fee table on /pricing | Essential 'starting from $3,000 - $6,500/Yr', Advanced '$8,000 - $18,500/Yr', Enterprise by quote; billed annually |

## When to choose Dueflow, and when Glue Up may fit.

We're biased, so here is the honest split.

### Choose Dueflow if the treasurer's books are the problem

Dues with payment plans, reimbursements, budgets, bank sync, QuickBooks, a store, fundraising, and Form 990 filing at $0 for the chapter, live the same day. A chapter does not need a $3,000-a-year association suite to collect dues.

### Choose Dueflow if you want the price published and no annual contract

No demo, no proposal, no annual billing: the member processing fee is on the pricing page and the chapter pays $0. Nationals join the oversight dashboard at $0 too.

### Glue Up may fit if you are an association, not a chapter

If you run a professional association, chamber of commerce, or alumni organization that needs a CRM, event registration, certification tracking, and email marketing across many regional chapters - and has a staff and a four- or five-figure software budget - that is what Glue Up is built around.

## Dueflow vs Glue Up: common questions

**What is Glue Up?**

Glue Up (glueup.com) is all-in-one association management software: a CRM and member database, membership management with renewals and invoicing, event management, email marketing and newsletters, online payments, and a community hub, sold to associations, chambers of commerce, and membership communities. It says it is trusted by 2,000+ organizations and offers power-ups for chapter management, certification (CPD/CPE) management, branding and SSO, and accounting integrations.

**How much does Glue Up cost?**

As of October 2026 glueup.com/pricing lists three plans, all billed annually: Essential 'starting from $3,000 - $6,500/Yr', Advanced 'starting from $8,000 - $18,500/Yr', and Enterprise by quote with a dedicated customer success manager and multi-chapter management. The page says pricing 'may vary based on organization size and requirements', and the Chapter Management power-up and payment processing fee are not priced. Dueflow's pricing is on dueflow.co/pricing: chapters and nationals pay $0, and members pay a flat processing fee only when they pay (from $2 on ACH dues under $100).

**Does Glue Up collect fraternity or sorority dues?**

Glue Up's membership module handles renewals, invoices, and online payments for associations; its site does not mention fraternities, sororities, semester dues, payment plans, or a nationals view of chapters. A Greek-life chapter could invoice members through it, but at a minimum of $3,000 a year before the Chapter Management power-up. Dueflow is built around chapter dues: payment plans and partial payments, published fees per method, reminders that stop on payment, reimbursements, budgets, and a free nationals dashboard.

**What are the best Glue Up alternatives for fraternity and sorority chapters?**

For a chapter, the alternatives split into two groups. General association and membership suites like Glue Up, Wild Apricot, and MemberPlanet give you a CRM, events, and email marketing for an annual license. Greek-life dues tools such as Dueflow, Greekbill, Billhighway, OmegaFi, and PayDues are built around collecting chapter dues and reporting to nationals. Dueflow is the dues-first option with a $0 platform fee, payment plans, reimbursements, budgeting, and a free nationals dashboard; see the comparison grid above for what each side includes.

**Is Glue Up a Dueflow alternative?**

Only partly. Glue Up is a membership CRM, events, and marketing suite for associations with invoicing as one module; Dueflow is a chapter finance platform with a free nationals dashboard. An association that needs event registration, certification credits, and newsletters is shopping for what Glue Up sells; a treasurer who needs to collect dues, approve reimbursements, and keep a budget is shopping for what Dueflow sells.

**Does Glue Up support national headquarters with many chapters?**

Yes, through its 'Chapter Management' power-up: unlimited chapters, centralized reporting, and split payments, priced on top of the annual plan, and multi-chapter management is listed in the Enterprise tier. Dueflow's nationals dashboard shows every chapter's collected, outstanding, and overdue balances at $0, with chapters keeping their own books.

**How do we move dues from Glue Up (or spreadsheets) to Dueflow?**

Export your roster and outstanding balances, create your Dueflow account, import members, connect the chapter bank account, and post the outstanding dues with payment plans where needed. Most chapters are live the same day, and because Dueflow has no contract there is nothing to cancel if your association keeps Glue Up for events and marketing.

## How we made this comparison

Written by Dueflow. Last verified October 22, 2026.

Glue Up (glueup.com) describes itself as 'all-in-one association management software' for associations, chambers of commerce, and membership communities; it is not a Greek-life product and its site does not mention fraternities or sororities.

### What we compared

- A 100-member chapter over a full academic year (two semesters), the size we see most often.
- Platform and per-member fees only. Payment processing fees are listed separately because on Dueflow the member covers them, so the chapter's platform cost is $0.
- Published list pricing where the competitor publishes it. Where it does not, the figure is an estimate and we say so on this page.

### How we priced Glue Up

Glue Up publishes 'starting from' ranges on glueup.com/pricing: Essential $3,000–$6,500 a year, Advanced $8,000–$18,500 a year, Enterprise by quote, all billed annually, with the note that pricing may vary by organization size. The Chapter Management power-up and any payment processing fee are not priced on the page, so this page quotes only the published ranges.

# Dueflow vs Rush+

Last updated October 17, 2026

Dueflow pricing: $0 platform fees for chapters and nationals forever. Members pay a small processing fee per payment.

> Rush+ is recruitment software for fraternities and sororities: PNM profiles and tags, interest forms that auto-tag with AI, a task board, rush events with RSVPs, structured bid-night voting, chapter chat, a leaderboard, and a Rush+ Agent that researches a prospect's Instagram, sold flat per chapter from a free Trial to Lite ($120 a semester list) and Full Access ($220 a semester list). It has no dues, payments, or budgeting features. Dueflow is the chapter management platform built for the treasurer: dues with payment plans, reimbursements, budgeting with bank sync, a merch and ticket store, QuickBooks sync, Form 990 filing, and a free nationals dashboard, with no platform fee for chapters or nationals.

## What is the difference between Dueflow and Rush+?

Rush+ is fraternity and sorority recruitment software – PNM profiles, interest forms, a task board, rush events with RSVPs, structured bid-night voting rounds, chapter chat, a leaderboard, and an Instagram-reading Rush+ Agent – sold flat per chapter at a free Trial tier, Lite listed at $120 a semester, and Full Access listed at $220 a semester (shown at $80 and $120 promotional pricing on rushpl.us in October 2026). It does not collect dues, take payments, or keep a budget. Dueflow charges chapters no platform or per-member fee – a 100-member chapter pays $0 a year and members cover processing when they pay. Dueflow starts where rush ends: new member fees and dues with payment plans, reimbursements, budgeting with bank sync, a store, QuickBooks sync, Form 990 filing, and a free nationals dashboard, and chapters run it next to Rush+ with no contract.

## A published semester subscription vs. a published $0.

Rush+ publishes flat per-chapter pricing on rushpl.us/pricing: a free Trial capped at 10 active seats and 25 PNMs, Lite listed at $120 per semester (25 seats, 75 PNMs), and Full Access listed at $220 per semester (unlimited seats and PNMs, priority support). In October 2026 the page showed Lite and Full Access struck through to $80 and $120 as promotional pricing, and notes that semester plans expire on a fixed date each term. Dueflow's price is on its pricing page: chapters and nationals pay $0, and members pay a flat processing fee only when they pay dues.

- Rush+ annual cost: $440/yr*
- Dueflow annual cost: $0
- **Annual savings: $240–$440 a year**

## Key Stats

- **$0** Dueflow platform fee for chapters and nationals, published on /pricing. Rush+: free Trial, then $120 or $220 a semester list price.
- **$2** Dueflow member ACH processing fee on dues under $100 ($10 for $100–$399, $15 for $400+). Rush+: does not process payments.
- **5 min** from Dueflow sign-up to first dues request. Rush+: Trial is instant; paid plans are bought per semester.
- **3,500+** active users Rush+'s llms.txt says it serves. Every chapter among them still needs somewhere to bill the members it recruits.

| Contracts | No contracts | Per-semester plans that expire on a fixed date each term; chapters re-buy for the next semester |

## When to choose Dueflow, and when Rush+ fits.

We're biased, so here is the honest split.

### Choose Dueflow if the job is collecting and managing money

Dues with payment plans, reimbursements, budgets, bank sync, QuickBooks, a store, fundraising, and Form 990 filing at $0 for the chapter. Rush+ has none of these; it is not a dues or finance tool.

### Choose Dueflow if you want a price that does not reset each semester

No semester plan to re-buy, no seat or PNM cap, and the member processing fee is on the pricing page. Nationals join the oversight dashboard at $0 too.

### Rush+ fits if the problem is rush, not collection

If your chapter needs a shared PNM pipeline, AI-tagged interest forms, a task board, event RSVPs, and structured bid-night voting on everyone's phone, Rush+ is built around exactly that and its Trial tier is free for 10 seats. Chapters run Rush+ for recruitment and Dueflow for money; Dueflow has no contract, so you can add it without dropping anything.

## Dueflow vs Rush+: common questions

**What is Rush+?**

Rush+ (rushpl.us) is recruitment management software for fraternity and sorority chapters, built by Greek life alumni. Its features page lists PNM profiles with tags and interaction history, interest forms that AI auto-tags, a task board with push notifications, rush events with RSVPs and attendance, structured bid-night voting rounds, chapter chat, a member leaderboard, Rush Groups that match PNMs to actives by shared interests, and a Rush+ Agent that researches a prospect's public Instagram profile.

**How much does Rush+ cost?**

As of October 2026, rushpl.us/pricing publishes three flat per-chapter tiers: a free Trial (10 active seats, 25 PNMs, 2 tasks, 4 events, 1 interest form), Lite listed at $120 per semester (25 seats, 75 PNMs, unlimited tasks, events, and forms), and Full Access listed at $220 per semester (unlimited seats and PNMs, priority support). The page showed Lite and Full Access struck through to $80 and $120 per semester as promotional pricing, and says semester plans expire on a fixed date each term. Dueflow publishes its pricing: $0 platform fee for chapters and nationals, with members paying a flat processing fee ($2 ACH on dues under $100, $10 on $100–$399, $15 on $400+; cards $5, or $10/$15 + 3.3%; Klarna 6%).

**Does Rush+ collect dues?**

No. Nothing on rushpl.us describes dues billing, payments, payment plans, reimbursements, budgeting, or accounting; Rush+ is a recruitment and bid-night tool. Dueflow does all of those, at $0 for the chapter.

**Is Rush+ chapter management software?**

It manages one part of the chapter: recruitment. Chapter management software in the sense treasurers and presidents usually mean, meaning dues, member records with balances, reimbursements, budgets, event sales, and reporting to advisors and nationals, is what Dueflow does. Roundups sometimes list Rush+ under 'chapter management' because rush is the chapter's busiest season, so it is worth checking which job you are hiring for.

**Can we use Rush+ and Dueflow together?**

Yes. There is no overlap: Rush+ runs the recruitment pipeline and bid night, Dueflow bills the members who join and runs the chapter's finances. Dueflow has no contract and a treasurer can sign up without a sales call, so adding it does not require dropping Rush+.

**What are the alternatives to Rush+?**

For recruitment specifically, chapters compare Rush+ with Phired Up's ChapterBuilder, the rush modules inside broader chapter apps such as Greek Connect or Greekly, and spreadsheets. For everything that happens after the bid, meaning dues, reimbursements, budgets, a store, and nationals reporting, Dueflow is the alternative at $0 for the chapter; see the Dueflow comparisons with ChapterBuilder, OmegaFi, Greekbill, and Greek Connect for the other options.

## How we made this comparison

Written by Dueflow. Last verified October 1, 2026.

Rush+ (rushpl.us) is recruitment software; it is not related to Dueflow and does not handle chapter money.

- Platform and per-member fees only. Payment processing fees are listed separately because on Dueflow the member covers them, so the chapter's platform cost is $0.

In October 2026 the pricing page showed Lite and Full Access struck through to $80 and $120 per semester as promotional pricing, with semester plans expiring on a fixed date each term. The annual figure on this page is the Full Access list price over two semesters ($440); at the promotional rate it is $240. Rush+ does not collect or process payments, so no processing fee applies.

# Dueflow vs Greek Connect

## A per-semester subscription vs. a published $0.

Greek Connect's pricing page shows a chapter plan at $120 per semester at its default chapter size (a member-count slider changes the figure), all features included, after a 14-day free trial; councils and headquarters are asked to contact Greek Connect for pricing.

## Dueflow vs Greek Connect, feature by feature

| Contracts | No contracts | Per-semester subscription after the trial; contract terms not published |

## When to choose Dueflow, and when Greek Connect may fit.

We're biased, so here is the honest split.

### Choose Dueflow if the treasurer is the buyer

Dues with payment plans, reimbursements, budgets, bank sync, QuickBooks, a store, fundraising, and Form 990 filing at $0 for the chapter. The next treasurer inherits one set of books instead of an app export plus spreadsheets.

### Choose Dueflow if you want the price published before you start

No trial-to-subscription step, no per-semester renewal to budget for, and the member processing fee is on the pricing page. Nationals join the oversight dashboard at $0 too.

### Greek Connect may fit if the problem is communication, not collection

If your chapter's pain is points, attendance, a shared calendar, rush tracking, polls, and group messaging on a phone, Greek Connect is built around exactly that and its dues tracking may be enough. Many chapters run Greek Connect for operations and Dueflow for money; Dueflow has no contract, so you can add it without dropping anything.

## Dueflow vs Greek Connect: common questions

**What is Greek Connect?**

Greek Connect (getgreekconnect.com, app at greekconnect.app, made by Greek Connect LLC) calls itself 'the chapter management platform built for modern Greek life'. Its homepage lists ten modules: Points, Calendar, Messages, Rush, Drive, Polls, Tasks, Meal Plan, Members, and Admin, on iOS, Android, and the web. Its llms.txt adds that it includes chapter-level dues and expense tracking on top of the communication features.

**How much does Greek Connect cost?**

As of September 2026, Greek Connect's pricing page offers chapters a 14-day free trial, then $120 per semester at the page's default chapter size, with a member-count slider that changes the figure and all features and priority support included. Councils and headquarters are asked to contact Greek Connect for pricing. Payment-processing fees on dues are not published. Dueflow publishes its pricing: $0 platform fee for chapters and nationals, with members paying a flat processing fee ($2 ACH on dues under $100, $10 on $100–$399, $15 on $400+; cards $5, or $10/$15 + 3.3%; Klarna 6%).

**Is Dueflow free for chapters like Greek Connect's trial?**

Dueflow is free for chapters and nationals permanently: $0 platform fee, no per-member fee, no contract. Greek Connect's free period is a 14-day trial, after which the per-semester subscription applies.

**Does Greek Connect collect dues?**

Its llms.txt says Greek Connect 'adds chapter-level dues and expense tracking on top of everything else', and for national dues billing it points to OmegaFi. The public site does not describe payment plans, payment methods, processing fees, reimbursements, budgeting, bank sync, or accounting export. Dueflow includes all of those, plus a store, fundraising, and Form 990 filing, at $0 for the chapter.

**Can we use Greek Connect and Dueflow together?**

Yes. Chapters commonly keep a communication app for points, calendar, and messaging and run dues, reimbursements, and budgets on Dueflow. Dueflow has no contract and a treasurer can sign up without a sales call, so adding it does not require dropping Greek Connect.

**How do we move dues from Greek Connect to Dueflow?**

Export your roster and outstanding balances from Greek Connect, create your Dueflow account, import members, connect the chapter bank account, and post the outstanding dues with payment plans where needed. Most chapters are live the same day, and because Dueflow has no contract you can run both in parallel for a cycle if you prefer.

## How we made this comparison

Written by Dueflow. Last verified September 20, 2026.

### What we compared

- A 100-member chapter over a full academic year (two semesters), the size we see most often.

- Published list pricing where the competitor publishes it. Where it does not, the figure is an estimate and we say so on this page.

### How we priced Greek Connect

Greek Connect's pricing page shows $120 per semester at its default chapter size, or $240 for a two-semester year, and a member-count slider moves that figure; councils and headquarters are asked to contact Greek Connect for pricing. Payment-processing fees on dues collected through Greek Connect are not published, so none are included here.

# Dueflow vs Greek Chapter

Last updated October 8, 2026

Dueflow pricing: $0 platform fees for chapters and nationals forever. Members pay a small processing fee per payment.

> Greek Chapter is a chapter-operations app: attendance, study hours, points, polls, event guests, push notifications, galleries, and a headquarters view, priced at $200 a year per chapter. Its site lists no dues collection, payments, or chapter-finance features. Dueflow covers dues, payment plans, reimbursements, budgets, a store, QuickBooks sync, Form 990 filing, and a free nationals dashboard, at $0 to the chapter.

## What is the difference between Dueflow and Greek Chapter?

Greek Chapter is a chapter-operations app – attendance, study hours, points, polls, event guests, push notifications, galleries – priced at $200 a year per chapter, and its site lists no dues collection or chapter-finance features. Dueflow charges chapters no platform or per-member fee – a 100-member chapter pays $0 a year and members cover processing when they pay. If you need dues, reimbursements, budgets, and nationals reporting, Dueflow covers the money side that Greek Chapter leaves to another tool.

## $200 a year for operations, and still no dues tool.

Greek Chapter's pricing page lists a chapter plan at $200 a year with a free trial and no per-user fees. That covers attendance, points, polls, and events; a chapter still needs a separate way to collect dues. Dueflow charges chapters $0 and covers dues, reimbursements, and budgets in one place.

- Greek Chapter annual cost: $200
- Dueflow annual cost: $0
- **Annual savings: $200**

## Key Stats

- **$0** Dueflow platform fee for chapters and nationals, published on /pricing. Greek Chapter: $200 a year per chapter.
- **0** dues, payment, or finance features listed on greekchapter.com. Dueflow: dues, payment plans, reimbursements, budgets, store, QuickBooks, Form 990.
- **5 min** from Dueflow sign-up to first dues request. Greek Chapter: free trial, then $200/year for the operations app.
- **$2** Dueflow member ACH processing fee on dues under $100 ($10 for $100–$399, $15 for $400+). Greek Chapter: no payments to process.

## When to choose Dueflow, and when Greek Chapter may fit.

We're biased, so here is the honest split.

### Choose Dueflow if the job is dues, payments, and budgets

Greek Chapter's site lists no way to collect dues or pay anyone. Dueflow is the chapter's books: dues in, reimbursements out, budgets, bank sync, QuickBooks, a store, and Form 990 filing, at $0 to the chapter.

### Choose Dueflow if nationals need financial oversight

Greek Chapter shows HQ attendance and operations. Dueflow's free nationals dashboard shows per-chapter collected, outstanding, and overdue, comparative analytics, and organization-wide reporting.

### Greek Chapter may fit if you want a points and attendance app

Greek Chapter does study hours, attendance, points, polls, galleries, and push notifications in native mobile apps for $200 a year. If that is the gap in your chapter and you already have dues handled, evaluate it – some chapters run Greek Chapter for operations and Dueflow for money.

## Dueflow vs Greek Chapter: common questions

**What is Greek Chapter?**

Greek Chapter (greekchapter.com) is a chapter-operations app for fraternities and sororities: attendance tracking, study hours, a points system, polls, event guest lists, push notifications, photo galleries, role-based access, iOS and Android apps, and a headquarters view for national organizations. Its public site does not list dues collection, payments, or chapter-finance features.

**How much does Greek Chapter cost?**

Greek Chapter's pricing page lists a chapter plan at $200 a year with a free trial and no per-user fees (checked September 2026). Dueflow publishes its pricing: $0 platform fee for chapters and nationals, with members paying a flat processing fee ($2 ACH on dues under $100, $10 on $100–$399, $15 on $400+; cards $5, or $10/$15 + 3.3%; Klarna 6%).

**Does Greek Chapter collect dues?**

Not that its public site mentions. greekchapter.com lists attendance, study hours, points, polls, events, notifications, galleries, and HQ oversight, and no dues, payments, reimbursements, or budgeting. Dueflow collects dues with payment plans, partial payments, parent payers, and automated email and SMS reminders, and handles reimbursements and budgets in the same books.

**Is Dueflow free for chapters like Greek Chapter?**

Dueflow is free for chapters and nationals: $0 platform fee, no per-member fee, no contract, permanently. Greek Chapter charges $200 a year per chapter after a free trial.

**Can we use Greek Chapter and Dueflow together?**

Yes. They cover different jobs. Some chapters run Greek Chapter for attendance, points, and polls and run Dueflow for dues, reimbursements, budgets, and nationals reporting. Because Dueflow charges the chapter $0, adding it does not change the budget.

**How do we start on Dueflow?**

Create your Dueflow account, import your roster from a spreadsheet or your current tool, connect the chapter bank account, and post dues with payment plans where needed. Most chapters send their first dues request within 5 minutes. There is no contract, so nothing to cancel later.

## How we made this comparison

Written by Dueflow. Last verified September 19, 2026.

### What we compared

- A 100-member chapter over a full academic year (two semesters), the size we see most often.
- Platform and per-member fees only. Payment processing fees are listed separately because on Dueflow the member covers them, so the chapter's platform cost is $0.
- Published list pricing where the competitor publishes it. Where it does not, the figure is an estimate and we say so on this page.

### How we priced Greek Chapter

Greek Chapter publishes a $200 per year Chapter plan with a free trial, plus custom pricing for councils and headquarters. This page uses the $200 list price. Greek Chapter's site lists no dues collection or payments, so there is no processing fee to compare.

# Dueflow vs RallyDues

Last updated October 8, 2026

Dueflow pricing: $0 platform fees for chapters and nationals forever. Members pay a small processing fee per payment.

> RallyDues and Dueflow both send SMS and email reminders, take card and ACH, pay out straight to your chapter's bank, and put the processing fee on the member. The difference: RallyDues bills your chapter $1.85–$2.10 per member every month. Dueflow bills your chapter $0.

## What is the difference between Dueflow and RallyDues?

RallyDues is dues collection software for fraternities and sororities that bills the chapter $2.10 to $1.85 per member per month depending on roster size, plus a $30 setup fee, so a 100-member chapter pays about $2,430 in its first year; the member covers processing on both platforms. Dueflow charges chapters no platform or per-member fee – a 100-member chapter pays $0 a year and members cover processing when they pay. Both send SMS and email reminders and handle reimbursements; Dueflow also adds budgeting with bank sync, a merch store, QuickBooks sync, Form 990 filing, and a free nationals dashboard.

## Same payout model. Very different price.

Both platforms route money through Stripe directly to your chapter's bank account and have the member cover processing at checkout. RallyDues then adds a monthly per-member subscription billed to the chapter. Dueflow doesn't.

- RallyDues annual cost: $2,430
- Dueflow annual cost: $0
- **Annual savings: $2,430**

## Key Stats

- **5 mins** from sign up to sending your first dues request
- **$0** chapter platform fee, setup fee, or contract. Members pay a small, disclosed processing fee.
- **0%** of funds withheld. Payouts go straight to your chapter's bank.

## Why treasurers pick Dueflow over RallyDues.

RallyDues is a well-built dues and reminders tool. Dueflow is the whole chapter finance stack – at $0 to the chapter.

### $0 to the chapter, not $2 per member per month

RallyDues charges the chapter a monthly subscription per member plus a $30 setup fee. Dueflow's chapter platform fee is $0 forever, with no setup fee and no contract. Members pay a small, disclosed processing fee on both platforms – so with Dueflow the chapter simply keeps the subscription money.

### More than dues: store, fundraising, budgets, QuickBooks

RallyDues covers dues, reminders, reimbursements, and event buy-ins. Dueflow adds a merch and ticket store, branded fundraising pages, bank-synced budgeting, QuickBooks Online sync, a developer API, and an AI finance assistant – one login for all of it.

### Built for nationals, not just single chapters

RallyDues markets to individual fraternities, sororities, clubs, HOAs, and nonprofits. Dueflow gives national headquarters free oversight across every chapter: per-chapter collection rates, org-wide reminders, and consolidated reporting.

## Dueflow vs RallyDues: Common Questions

**What is the difference between Dueflow and RallyDues?**

Both are Stripe-powered dues platforms with automated SMS and email reminders, card and ACH payments, member-paid processing fees, and direct payouts to the chapter's bank. RallyDues charges the chapter a monthly per-member subscription ($2.10 to $1.85 per member per month by volume tier, plus a $30 setup fee) and focuses on dues, reminders, reimbursements, and event buy-ins. Dueflow charges the chapter $0 and also includes a merch and ticket store, fundraising pages, bank-synced budgeting, QuickBooks Online sync, Klarna buy-now-pay-later, partial payments, a developer API, an AI finance assistant, and free oversight tools for national headquarters.

**How much does RallyDues cost a chapter?**

According to rallydues.com in September 2026, RallyDues charges $2.10 per member per month for 1–50 members, $2.00 for 51–100, $1.90 for 101–200, and $1.85 for 201+, plus a one-time $30 setup fee. A 100-member chapter pays about $2,400 per year plus setup. Members also pay the payment-processing fee at checkout. Dueflow's chapter platform fee is $0 with no setup fee; members pay a small processing fee at checkout.

**Does Dueflow have text-to-pay like RallyDues?**

Dueflow sends automated SMS and email reminders that include the member's payment link, and members pay from that link on their phone without downloading an app. RallyDues additionally lets a member text the word PAY to get their link resent. On Dueflow, reminders stop automatically the moment a member pays, and members can opt into a portal to see history, download receipts, and submit reimbursements.

**Who pays the processing fee on Dueflow and on RallyDues?**

On both platforms the member pays the processing fee at checkout, and the chapter receives the full dues amount. The difference is what the chapter is billed on top of that: RallyDues bills the chapter a monthly per-member subscription, Dueflow bills the chapter nothing. Dueflow's member fees are published on the pricing page – for example $2 for ACH on dues under $100.

**Does RallyDues or Dueflow hold my chapter's money?**

Neither. Both platforms use Stripe to pay out directly to the chapter's connected bank account. Dueflow never holds chapter funds and never stores raw card numbers or bank credentials.

**Can members pay in installments on Dueflow vs RallyDues?**

Dueflow supports partial payments, payment plans, bulk payment of multiple charges with lower combined fees, and Klarna buy-now-pay-later where the member splits the balance while the chapter is paid in full up front. RallyDues does not advertise partial payments, payment plans, or buy-now-pay-later on its public site.

**Which one works for a national organization with many chapters?**

Dueflow. National headquarters get a free parent tenant with chapters underneath it, cross-chapter collection analytics, org-wide billing and reminder campaigns, role-based access, and an audit trail across every chapter. RallyDues is sold to individual fraternities, sororities, clubs, HOAs, and nonprofits and does not advertise a multi-chapter headquarters product.

**When would RallyDues be the better choice?**

If your organization is an HOA, club, or nonprofit rather than a Greek chapter or student organization, RallyDues explicitly markets to those groups. If a member texting the word PAY to receive their link is a must-have, RallyDues offers that today. For fraternity, sorority, and student-organization treasurers who want $0 platform fees and a full finance stack including store, fundraising, budgets, and QuickBooks, Dueflow is the stronger fit.

# Dueflow vs Switch

Last updated October 18, 2026

Dueflow pricing: $0 platform fees for chapters and nationals forever. Members pay a small processing fee per payment.

> A bank account doesn't collect dues. Dueflow does.

## What is the difference between Dueflow and Switch?

Switch is a shared bank account (via Thread Bank), not dues software. The features chapters actually need – collections, tax filing, concierge support, unlimited text reminders – sit in Switch's Premium tier at $100/mo ($1,200/year), or free only if you lock a $50,000 minimum balance inside Switch. Dueflow includes that equivalent chapter-operations feature set for $0, your money deposits to your own bank account immediately, and members pay processing only. Dueflow charges chapters no platform or per-member fee – a 100-member chapter pays $0 a year and members cover processing when they pay.

## A shiny tool that tackles the wrong problems.

Switch charges up to $100/mo for its full product. Dueflow includes everything for $0.

- Switch annual cost: $1,200+
- Dueflow annual cost: $0
- **Annual savings: $1,200+**

## Key Stats

- **5 mins** from sign up to sending your first dues request
- **0** per member fees, and 0 percentage skims. Members pay a small, flat, processing fee.
- **0%** of funds withheld. We never touch your money.

## A bank account is not a collections platform.

| Feature | Dueflow | Switch |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Monthly platform fee | $0 | Up to $100/mo for clubs (or lock up $50k) |
| Text/SMS reminders | Unlimited automated | Limited on free – $10/mo for unlimited |
| Physical debit cards | Use your own bank | Only 2/year on Pro ($10/mo) |
| Tax filings (990N/990EZ) | Clean exports included | Only on Premium ($100/mo) |
| Automated payment reminders | Included free | Limited – texts cost extra |
| Zelle | Yes | No |
| Nationals | Yes | No |
| BNPL | Yes | No |
| Virtual credit cards | Included free – limits, real-time feed, auto-itemization | Cards spend from Switch balance |
| Dues spendable immediately | Collected today, spendable today | Requires moving money into Switch |
| Minimum balance to unlock features | None – no funds locked, cancel anytime | Lock $5k (Pro) or $50k (Premium) inside Switch |

## Here's why chapters choose Dueflow over Switch.

### Automated reminders, not social pressure

Switch relies on members seeing who hasn't paid. That's awkward and ineffective. Dueflow sends automated SMS and email reminders with smart retry logic – 60–70% fewer late dues without the social games.

### Full features included, not paywalled

Switch's Premium tier ($100/mo) is required for tax filings, account concierge, and their full feature set. Dueflow includes everything from day one – automated reminders, tax exports, payment tracking – for $0.

### Your money, your bank

Dueflow deposits payments directly to your existing bank account – no middleman balance, no extra steps. Use Zelle, write checks, pay vendors however you want. Your money stays where it belongs.

## Switch vs Dueflow: Common Questions

**Can I use both Dueflow and Switch?**

Yes! Some orgs use Switch as their bank account and Dueflow for dues. Dueflow deposits directly into your bank (including Switch), so they work well together. But for most chapters, a regular bank account + Dueflow handles everything.

**Why doesn't the social pressure model work?**

Showing who hasn't paid creates awkwardness but doesn't drive payments. Members ignore it or feel resentful. Dueflow's automated SMS and email reminders are direct, private, and proven to reduce late dues by 60–70% – without the social games.

**What about cards? Switch has debit cards.**

Dueflow includes free virtual credit cards too – with daily, weekly, monthly, one-time, and per-transaction spend limits, a real-time transaction feed with merchant details, decline alerts, and automatic itemization into your finance budgets. And because Dueflow cards spend from the dues you've collected, money collected today is spendable immediately – no waiting on transfers into a separate balance.

**Does Switch support nationals or HQs?**

No. Switch is designed for individual groups/chapters. Dueflow offers a full nationals product with chapter oversight, cross-chapter analytics, and consolidated reporting.

**Why does Switch charge $100/mo for clubs?**

Switch's Premium tier ($100/month, or free if you keep $50k in your account) is required for tax filings, concierge support, and their full feature set. Their free and Pro tiers have limitations on texts and features. Dueflow gives you everything – automated reminders, tracking, payment links, tax exports – included from day one at $0.

**Does Switch have account minimums or hidden fees?**

Switch's upgrades are only free if your chapter keeps a minimum balance inside Switch – $5,000 for Pro and $50,000 for Premium – otherwise those tiers cost $10/month and $100/month. Payers are charged 1% on debit and 3% on credit (ACH is free). Dueflow has no minimum balance and no monthly tier: dues deposit to the bank account your chapter already owns, and members pay processing only.

**Where is my chapter's money held with Switch vs Dueflow?**

Switch is itself the account – your chapter's balance sits inside Switch (banking through Thread Bank). Dueflow never holds your balance: payments settle into the chapter bank account you already have, so your money stays where you control it and changing software later never means moving your funds.

### How we priced Switch

Switch is a shared bank account (via Thread Bank), not dues collection software. It has three club tiers: Standard ($0/mo, with limited text blasts, no physical cards, no tax filing, no collections), Pro ($10/mo or free with a $5,000 minimum balance kept in Switch, adds 2 physical debit cards/year and unlimited text blasts), and Premium ($100/mo or free with a $50,000 minimum balance kept in Switch, adds 990N/990EZ tax filing through partners, sending members to collections, account concierge, and priority support). Premium is CLUBS ONLY – the $50k locked-balance free tier is not available to other account types. Transaction fees: $0 ACH, 1% debit, 3% credit. The 'free' upgrades require the chapter's dues money to stay locked inside the Switch balance at the stated minimums; moving funds out is an extra step. Dueflow provides the equivalent chapter-operations feature set (collections, tax-ready exports, concierge, unlimited SMS+email reminders) for $0 with your money depositing to your own existing bank account immediately. Dueflow provides 990N/990EZ-ready EXPORTS – clean data the chapter or its CPA uses to file – and does not file the taxes on the chapter's behalf, whereas Switch Premium files 990N/990EZ through third-party partners.

Looking for the TidyHQ login? That is [TidyHQ sign-in](https://accounts.tidyhq.com/), not Dueflow.

## $1,190 a year on Pro, before Stripe.

## When to choose Dueflow, and when TidyHQ may fit.

We're biased, so here is the honest split.

### Choose Dueflow if you are a fraternity or sorority chapter

TidyHQ is configured for any club. Dueflow's roster, dues by semester, payment plans, parent payers, chapter budgets, and free nationals dashboard exist because Greek-life chapters work that way, and the chapter pays $0 with no percentage of dues.

### Choose Dueflow if you want the whole money stack

TidyHQ covers invoicing and payments in. Dueflow covers dues in, reimbursements out, budgets, bank sync, QuickBooks, a store, fundraising, Form 990 filing, and an AI assistant, so the next treasurer inherits one set of books.

### TidyHQ may fit if you are a club, association, or federation

TidyHQ bundles meetings and minutes, tasks, a website builder, a shop, and TidyConnect for federations, and serves sports clubs, associations, and non-profits. If you are not a Greek-life chapter and want general club administration in one tool, evaluate it. Dueflow focuses on chapter finance and nationals oversight at $0.

## Dueflow vs TidyHQ: common questions

**What is TidyHQ?**

TidyHQ (tidyhq.com) is general-purpose membership software for clubs, associations, sporting bodies, and federations. Its public site lists memberships, events and ticketing, a contacts CRM, invoicing and payments, email and SMS, meetings and minutes, tasks, a shop, website pages, and TidyConnect for multi-chapter federations. It is not built for fraternities and sororities specifically.

**How much does TidyHQ cost?**

TidyHQ's pricing page lists a free Starter plan, a Pro plan at $690 USD a year (about $58 a month), and Enterprise by contact, and every plan carries a TidyHQ service fee on payments – 3% + 20¢ on Starter, 1% + 20¢ on Pro and Enterprise – on top of Stripe processing (checked September 2026). Dueflow publishes its pricing: $0 platform fee for chapters and nationals, no percentage, with members paying a flat processing fee ($2 ACH on dues under $100, $10 on $100–$399, $15 on $400+; cards $5, or $10/$15 + 3.3%; Klarna 6%).

**Is Dueflow free for chapters like TidyHQ Starter?**

Dueflow is free for chapters and nationals permanently: $0 platform fee, no per-member fee, no percentage of collections, no contract. TidyHQ Starter has no subscription but charges 3% + 20¢ on every payment – about $1,500 on $50,000 in dues – on top of Stripe.

**Does TidyHQ handle reimbursements, budgeting, or Form 990 filing?**

Not that its public site mentions. tidyhq.com lists invoicing, payments, Xero and QuickBooks integrations, a shop, and events. Dueflow includes reimbursements with an audit trail, budgeting with bank sync, QuickBooks Online sync, a merch and ticket store, fundraising, and Form 990 filing at $0.

**Is TidyHQ built for fraternities and sororities?**

No. TidyHQ is a general club and association tool. Dueflow is built only for Greek-life chapters and their national headquarters: dues cycles by semester, payment plans, parent payers, chapter budgets, and a free nationals dashboard with per-chapter collected, outstanding, and overdue.

**How do we switch from TidyHQ to Dueflow?**

Export your contacts and outstanding invoices from TidyHQ, create your Dueflow account, import members, connect the chapter bank account, and post the outstanding dues with payment plans where needed. Most chapters are live the same day. Because Dueflow has no contract, you can run both in parallel until your TidyHQ plan year ends.

## How we made this comparison

Written by Dueflow. Last verified September 19, 2026.

### What we compared

- A 100-member chapter over a full academic year (two semesters), the size we see most often.
- Platform and per-member fees only. Payment processing fees are listed separately because on Dueflow the member covers them, so the chapter's platform cost is $0.
- Published list pricing where the competitor publishes it. Where it does not, the figure is an estimate and we say so on this page.

### How we priced TidyHQ

TidyHQ publishes a free Starter plan, a Pro plan at $690 USD a year (about $58 a month), and custom Enterprise pricing. Every plan also carries a TidyHQ service fee on payments – 3% + 20¢ on Starter, 1% + 20¢ on Pro – on top of Stripe processing. This page uses the Pro plan for a 100-member chapter plus the 1% service fee on $50,000 in dues ($500), which is $1,190 a year before Stripe processing.

# Dueflow vs MyGreek

Last updated October 8, 2026

Dueflow pricing: $0 platform fees for chapters and nationals forever. Members pay a small processing fee per payment.

> Both are free for chapters. Dueflow gives you the complete platform with a real team behind it – and every feature in the $0 plan. See the full comparison below.

## What is the difference between Dueflow and MyGreek?

MyGreek publishes tiers at $0, $99, and $999 a month, with card payments at 4% + 30¢. Dueflow charges chapters no platform or per-member fee – a 100-member chapter pays $0 a year and members cover processing when they pay.

## Free dues collection is just the start.

MyGreek collects dues. Dueflow runs your whole chapter finance stack in one place: dues, reimbursements, store, analytics, and nationals oversight. And you get a real team to help.

- MyGreek annual cost: $1,188
- Dueflow annual cost: $0
- **Annual savings: $1,188**

## Key Stats

- **5 mins** from sign up to sending your first dues request
- **0** per member fees, and 0 percentage skims. Members pay a small, flat, processing fee.
- **0%** of funds withheld. We never touch your money.

## Same price. Very different platforms.

| Feature | Dueflow | MyGreek |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Chapter platform fee | $0 forever – every feature included | $0 DIY tier; $99/mo Plus for SMS bundle, e-sign, 990-EZ |
| SMS + email reminders | Unlimited automated SMS + email – stops when member pays | SMS segments metered – 1,000/mo included on $99/mo Plus |
| Self-serve signup | Start free in 5 minutes – no sales call | 20-minute demo call or callback form |
| Nationals oversight | Free nationals dashboard + cross-chapter analytics | Chapter-only – no nationals product |
| AI finance assistant | AI finance assistant – ask questions in plain English | No AI features |
| Buy Now, Pay Later | Klarna – members split payments, chapter gets paid now | Card, bank, and Apple Pay only |
| Payment plans & bulk pay | Partial payments + bulk pay across charges with lower combined fees | Auto-drafting payment plans – no bulk checkout |
| Developer API | Full API – sync rosters from your own systems | No public API |
| Expense reimbursements | Built-in with receipt upload + audit trail | Built-in |
| Merchandise store | Built-in store with inventory, QR codes + checkout | Storefront billing (basic) |
| Accounting exports | Excel, CSV, QuickBooks export | CSV/Excel export |
| Budgeting & analytics | Collection rates, revenue trends, real-time tracking – bank sync on the roadmap | Bank-synced budgets with merchant analytics |

## Why treasurers choose Dueflow over MyGreek.

### Complete platform, not just dues

MyGreek does dues. Dueflow does dues plus reimbursements with audit trails, a merch store, analytics, an AI finance assistant, and accounting exports. One login for all of it.

### Built for nationals and chapters

MyGreek is chapter-only. Dueflow gives nationals free oversight across every chapter: per-chapter analytics, org-wide reminders, and consolidated reporting.

### More ways to pay, fewer late dues

Dueflow offers Klarna buy-now-pay-later, partial payments, bulk payments, Apple Pay, Google Pay, ACH, and cards. Members pay what they can, when they can. MyGreek has no BNPL, no partial payments, and no bulk pay.

## Dueflow vs MyGreek: Common Questions

**Both are free – why should I choose Dueflow?**

Because everything is included at $0. On MyGreek, the SMS bundle (1,000 segments/mo), document e-signing, and free Form 990-EZ filing sit on the $99/month Plus plan – $1,188/yr – and full-service bookkeeping is $999/month. Dueflow has one plan: $0 for chapters and nationals, with SMS, analytics, reimbursements, the store, the AI assistant, and the developer API all included and unmetered. And there's a real team of 12 behind you.

**Which platform is cheaper for members?**

It depends on the payment. MyGreek passes processing to the payer at 4% + 30¢ for cards and 1% (capped at $25) for bank transfers; Dueflow uses flat tiered fees. Percentage pricing can be cheaper on small payments; flat pricing wins on large ones like rent or full-semester dues. Either way, your chapter receives 100% of what it bills on both platforms. We'd rather tell you that straight – no platform can honestly claim it's always cheaper per payment.

**Does Dueflow support nationals and HQs?**

Yes, for free. National organizations get a dashboard with per-chapter insights, cross-chapter comparative analytics, organization-wide reminders, and consolidated financial reporting. MyGreek is built for individual chapters only.

**What features does Dueflow have that MyGreek doesn't?**

A nationals product, an AI finance assistant, Klarna buy-now-pay-later, bulk payments across multiple charges, a developer API, QuickBooks-ready exports, and self-serve signup – no demo call required. In fairness, MyGreek currently has bank-synced budgeting, which is on Dueflow's roadmap.

**Can members make partial payments on Dueflow?**

Yes. Members can pay what they can now and come back for the rest, or use Klarna to split dues into installments. MyGreek offers auto-drafting payment plans per charge; Dueflow adds Klarna and bulk pay across multiple outstanding charges in one checkout.

**Is migrating from MyGreek difficult?**

Not at all. Export your member list from MyGreek and import it into Dueflow in under 2 minutes – members, groups, and outstanding balances come with you. The entire platform is ready from day one: dues, reimbursements, store, and analytics.

MyGreek publishes its pricing, and we checked it: DIY $0/month, Plus $99/month, Managed $999/month, with card payments at 4% + 30¢ and bank payments at 1% (capped at $25). The $1,188/year figure on this page is the Plus tier for twelve months.

## When to choose Dueflow, and when Covey may fit.

We're biased, so here is the honest split.

### Choose Dueflow if you want $0 for the chapter

Covey bills the organization from $89 a month. Dueflow charges chapters and nationals nothing – the member pays a flat processing fee only when they pay – so the subscription line disappears from the budget.

### Choose Dueflow if you want the whole money stack

Covey covers dues in. Dueflow covers dues in, reimbursements out, budgets, bank sync, QuickBooks, a store, fundraising, Form 990 filing, and an AI assistant, so the next treasurer inherits one set of books.

### Covey may fit if you need a website builder and forums

Covey bundles a public website builder, discussion forums, and a general member portal, and serves non-Greek clubs and associations too. If your chapter's priority is a website and community features and it is comfortable paying a monthly subscription, evaluate it. Dueflow focuses on chapter finance and nationals oversight at $0.

## Dueflow vs Covey: common questions

**What is Covey?**

Covey (coveyhq.com) is membership-management software for clubs, associations, alumni councils, and fraternities and sororities. Its public site lists dues and recurring billing, event management, communications, a website builder, forums, a member portal, ACH/card/PayPal payments, and a QuickBooks integration. Greek chapters are one of several audiences it sells to.

**How much does Covey cost?**

Covey's fraternity and sorority page lists plans starting at $89 a month per organization, and its llms.txt describes a range from $59 to $999+ a month depending on features and organization size, plus payment processing. Dueflow publishes its pricing: $0 platform fee for chapters and nationals, with members paying a flat processing fee ($2 ACH on dues under $100, $10 on $100–$399, $15 on $400+; cards $5, or $10/$15 + 3.3%; Klarna 6%).

**Is Dueflow free for chapters like Covey?**

Dueflow is free for chapters and nationals: $0 platform fee, no per-member fee, no contract, permanently. Covey charges the organization a monthly subscription; a chapter on the $89 starting plan pays about $1,068 a year before processing.

**Does Covey handle reimbursements, budgeting, or Form 990 filing?**

Not that its public site mentions. coveyhq.com lists dues, recurring billing, events, communications, a website builder, forums, a member portal, and QuickBooks. Dueflow includes reimbursements with an audit trail, budgeting with bank sync, a merch and ticket store, fundraising, Form 990 filing, and an AI assistant at $0.

**Is Covey built for fraternities and sororities?**

Covey has a fraternity and sorority edition, but the same product serves clubs, associations, and alumni councils.

**How do we switch from Covey to Dueflow?**

Export your roster and outstanding balances from Covey, create your Dueflow account, import members, connect the chapter bank account, and post the outstanding dues with payment plans where needed.

Dueflow pricing: $0 platform fees for chapters and nationals forever. Members pay a small processing fee per payment.

> Crowded (bankingcrowded.com) gives nonprofits and Greek chapters a digital checking account with debit cards, dues collection, and Form 990 filing; its Essentials plan is $0 a month and dues paid by ACH cost $5 per transaction, cards 2.99% (minimum 60¢). Dueflow charges chapters and nationals a published $0 platform fee, members pay a flat $2–$15 ACH fee, and collected dues pay out to your chapter's existing bank account – plus payment plans, reimbursements, budgeting, a store, QuickBooks sync, and an AI assistant.

## What is the difference between Dueflow and Crowded?

Crowded is a nonprofit banking platform with a Greek life vertical: the chapter opens a digital checking account with Crowded's partner bank and collects dues into it, with an Essentials plan at $0 a month, Pro at $49.99 a month, $5 per ACH dues payment, 2.99% (minimum 60¢) per card payment, and $99 to $499 per Form 990 filing.

- **Annual savings: $0 vs $0–$480/yr + per-payment fees**

## Dueflow vs Crowded, feature by feature

| Contracts | No contracts | Monthly or annual plans; annual billed at 20% off |

## When to choose Dueflow, and when Crowded may fit.

We're biased, so here is the honest split.

### Choose Dueflow if you want to keep your bank and just collect dues better

Payment plans, reminders, reimbursements, budgets, and a store on top of the bank account you already have, at $0 to the chapter.

### Choose Dueflow if ACH fees matter to your members

A $60 social fee paid by ACH costs the member $2 on Dueflow; Crowded's schedule lists $5 per ACH collection.

### Crowded may fit if your chapter has no bank account and wants one

A new or unbanked chapter, or an HQ that wants every chapter inside one tiered bank account with frozen-fund controls, is the case Crowded's site is built around.

## Dueflow vs Crowded: common questions

**What is Crowded?**

Crowded (bankingcrowded.com, also crowdedfinance.com) is a financial management and banking platform for nonprofits with a Greek life vertical. Its public site lists a digital checking account provided through a partner bank, sub accounts for chapters under one organization, dues and invoice collection by ACH, card and Apple Pay, digital and physical debit cards, bill pay, donation pages, and AI-assisted Form 990 filing. Its Greek life page quotes Alpha Chi Omega, Iota Phi Theta, and Pi Kappa Alpha.

**How much does Crowded cost?**

As of October 2026, bankingcrowded.com/pricing lists three plans: Essentials at $0 per month (1 admin seat, up to 2 sub accounts, ticket-only support), Pro at $49.99 per month or $480 per year (up to 5 admin seats, unlimited sub accounts, 24/7 email support), and Custom by demo. The fee schedule adds $5 per ACH collection, 2.99% (minimum 60¢) per card payment, 3.99% + 50¢ in person, $2.49 per outgoing ACH, $8 per physical card, $20 per extra sub account per month, and $99 to $499 per Form 990 filing (or a $500/year Compliance Suite).

**Is Dueflow free for chapters like Crowded's Essentials plan?**

Yes, and the $0 is the platform fee for every chapter and national on Dueflow, not a tier. There are no admin-seat limits, no per-chapter sub-account charge, and no filing-tier fee. Members pay a flat processing fee when they pay – $2 by ACH on dues under $100, $10 for $100–$399, $15 for $400+ – and the chapter receives the full dues amount.

**Do we have to switch bank accounts to use Dueflow?**

No. Dueflow connects to the bank account your chapter already has and pays collected dues into it. Crowded is itself the bank account: you open a new deposit account with its partner bank and move chapter funds into it to use its cards and collections.

**Does Crowded offer payment plans or reimbursements?**

Crowded's Greek life page lists requesting, accepting and tracking payments with reminders, and positions budgeted debit cards as the alternative to reimbursements; it does not list installment payment plans. Dueflow includes payment plans, partial payments, Klarna, and a reimbursement flow with receipt upload, approval, automatic payout, and an audit trail.

**How do we switch from Crowded to Dueflow?**

Export your roster and open balances, import them into Dueflow, and send the next dues request from Dueflow; outstanding Crowded requests can be settled there or re-issued. Because Dueflow pays out to any bank account, you can keep the Crowded account open while balances clear and close it when you are done. Most chapters finish setup in under an hour.

**What are the best Crowded alternatives for fraternity and sorority chapters?**

Chapters comparing Crowded are usually choosing between a banking-first tool and a dues-first tool. Banking-first alternatives that also open the chapter a new account are MyGreek (chapter banking plus dues) and Switch (a shared group account with debit cards). Dues-first alternatives that keep your chapter's existing bank account are Dueflow ($0 platform fee, a flat $2–$15 member ACH fee, payment plans, reimbursements, budgeting, QuickBooks sync and Form 990 filing), OmegaFi and Greekbill (re:Members), which bill the chapter per member, and PayDues. Pick a banking-first tool if the chapter has no account or wants officer debit cards from the same vendor; pick a dues-first tool if you want to keep your bank and avoid a $5 fee on every ACH dues payment.

## How we made this comparison

Written by Dueflow. Last verified October 10, 2026.

### What we compared

- A 100-member chapter over a full academic year (two semesters), the size we see most often.
- Platform and per-member fees only. Payment processing fees are listed separately because on Dueflow the member covers them, so the chapter's platform cost is $0.
- Published list pricing where the competitor publishes it. Where it does not, the figure is an estimate and we say so on this page.

### How we priced Crowded

Crowded publishes its pricing: Essentials $0/month, Pro $49.99/month ($480/year), Custom by demo, plus a fee schedule of $5 per ACH collection, 2.99% (minimum 60¢) per card payment, 3.99% + 50¢ in person, $2.49 per outgoing ACH, $8 per physical card, $20 per additional sub account per month, and $99/$249/$499 per Form 990 filing. The pricing page does not say whether the chapter or the member pays the dues processing fee, so this page compares the published schedule and shows no per-member dollar estimate.

# Fraternity Dues Collection Software

Last updated September 7, 2026

Dueflow pricing: $0 platform fees for chapters and nationals forever. Members pay a small processing fee per payment.

> Stop chasing members for payments. Automate dues collection with ACH, card, Apple Pay, and buy-now-pay-later – and never pay a platform fee.

## Collecting dues shouldn't be a full-time job

Most fraternity treasurers spend hours every week chasing members for dues. They're sending Venmo requests, tracking payments in spreadsheets, and following up in group chats. When members don't pay on time, the treasurer becomes the bad guy. Legacy platforms like OmegaFi and GreekBill charge per-member fees that eat into your chapter's budget, and their outdated interfaces make simple tasks take longer than they should.

## Automated dues collection that works while you sleep

Dueflow automates your entire dues collection process. Create a payment, set a deadline, and let the platform handle the rest. Members get automated email and SMS reminders on a schedule you control. They can pay instantly via ACH, credit card, Apple Pay, or Klarna – no app download required. You see every payment in real time on your dashboard.

## Features

- **Every payment method members want**: ACH bank transfer, credit and debit cards, Apple Pay, Google Pay, and Klarna buy-now-pay-later. Members pay however is easiest for them.
- **Automated SMS and email reminders**: Set your reminder schedule once. Dueflow sends payment reminders automatically via email and SMS until the member pays.
- **Deadline-based pricing**: Set early-bird, regular, and late pricing tiers. Members who pay early get a discount. Late fees apply automatically.
- **Bulk payments**: Members with multiple outstanding dues can pay everything at once in a single checkout – with lower combined fees.
- **Real-time payment tracking**: See who's paid, who hasn't, and how much is outstanding – all in real time. Export reports to Excel, CSV, or QuickBooks.
- **Zero platform fees**: Dueflow is free for chapters and nationals. Members pay a small convenience fee – your chapter keeps 100% of dues collected.

## FAQ

**How much does Dueflow cost for fraternity dues collection?**

Dueflow is completely free for chapters and nationals – $0, forever. There are no per-member fees, no monthly subscriptions, and no contracts. Members pay a small convenience fee when they make a payment to cover processing costs.

**What payment methods can members use to pay dues?**

Members can pay via ACH bank transfer, credit or debit card, Apple Pay, Google Pay, or Klarna (buy now, pay later). Each method has a different convenience fee, so members can choose what works best for them.

**How do automated reminders work?**

When you create a dues payment, you set a reminder interval (e.g., every 3 days). Dueflow automatically sends email and SMS reminders to members who haven't paid until they do. You can also send manual reminders at any time.

**Can we set up payment plans for dues?**

Yes. You can create partial payment options so members can pay dues in installments. Each partial payment is tracked separately, and members see their remaining balance in their portal.

**How does Dueflow compare to OmegaFi, GreekBill, or LegFi for dues?**

Dueflow charges $0 in platform fees – no per-member charges, ever. Legacy platforms typically charge $15-30 per member per semester. Dueflow also offers more payment methods (including Apple Pay and Klarna), faster setup (5 minutes vs weeks), and modern automation that reduces late payments by 60-70%.

**How quickly can we start collecting dues?**

Most chapters are fully set up and collecting dues within 5 minutes. Create your account, add your members, connect your bank account, and create your first payment – that's it.

# Fraternity Finance Software

Last updated October 3, 2026

Dueflow pricing: $0 platform fees for chapters and nationals forever. Members pay a small processing fee per payment.

> The complete financial platform for fraternity chapters and nationals. Dues collection, reimbursements, merchandise sales, analytics, and AI – all in one place.

## Fragmented tools cost you time and money

Most fraternity treasurers juggle Venmo for collections, Google Sheets for tracking, a separate platform for nationals reporting, and maybe QuickBooks for accounting. Each tool adds complexity, creates gaps in your records, and makes officer handoffs a nightmare. Legacy platforms like OmegaFi bundle everything together but charge thousands per year and take weeks to set up.

## One platform for your entire chapter treasury

Dueflow replaces the patchwork of tools with a single platform purpose-built for fraternity financial management. Collect dues, process reimbursements, sell merchandise, track every dollar in real time, and export clean reports – all from one dashboard. When officers change, the next treasurer inherits a clean system, not a pile of spreadsheets.

## Features

- **Dues collection**: Automated dues billing with ACH, card, Apple Pay, and Klarna. Smart reminders reduce late payments by 60-70%.
- **Reimbursements**: Members submit expenses with receipts. Treasurers approve, reject, or pay – with a full audit trail for every action.
- **Store and marketplace**: Sell merchandise, event tickets, and fundraiser items. Built-in inventory tracking and custom checkout fields.
- **Dashboard and analytics**: Real-time financial dashboards showing dues status, revenue trends, and member payment behavior. Export to Excel, CSV, or QuickBooks.
- **AI finance assistant**: Ask questions about your chapter's finances in plain English. Get instant answers about outstanding dues, payment rates, and trends.
- **Nationals and chapters**: National organizations get cross-chapter oversight, comparative analytics, and organization-wide reminders – all at no cost.
- **Member portal**: Every member gets a personal dashboard to view dues, track payments, submit reimbursements, and manage their profile.
- **Accounting exports**: Export financial data to Excel, CSV, or QuickBooks-compatible formats. Clean records that survive officer transitions.

## FAQ

**Is Dueflow just a payment tool or a full finance platform?**

Dueflow is a complete financial platform. It includes dues collection, reimbursement management, a merchandise store, analytics dashboards, AI-powered financial insights, member portal, accounting exports, and tools for both chapters and national organizations.

**How does Dueflow compare to OmegaFi or BillHighway?**

Dueflow offers comparable features to legacy platforms at zero cost to chapters. Legacy platforms charge $15-30 per member per semester plus setup fees. Dueflow's convenience fee model means only the member pays a small processing fee – the chapter and nationals pay nothing.

**Can nationals organizations use Dueflow to oversee chapters?**

Yes. National organizations get a dedicated dashboard with per-chapter insights, cross-chapter analytics, organization-wide payment reminders, and consolidated financial reporting – all for free.

**Does Dueflow replace QuickBooks?**

Dueflow handles all chapter-level financial management (dues, reimbursements, merch sales, reporting). For accounting needs, you can export data to QuickBooks-compatible formats. Many chapters find they no longer need QuickBooks at all.

**What happens during officer transitions?**

When a new treasurer takes over, they inherit the full system – payment history, member records, audit trails, and reports. No spreadsheet handoffs, no lost data. The platform is designed to survive annual turnover.

# Fraternity Accounting Software

Last updated October 3, 2026

Dueflow pricing: $0 platform fees for chapters and nationals forever. Members pay a small processing fee per payment.

> Fraternity accounting software that starts from the money itself: every dues payment, reimbursement, and store sale lands in one chapter ledger, can be posted to QuickBooks Online as a categorized deposit, and feeds the Form 990 your chapter files each year – free for chapters.

## Chapter accounting is usually a spreadsheet nobody trusts

Most fraternity treasurers do their accounting after the fact: dues arrive through Venmo, Zelle, cash, and a billing platform, then someone re-keys it all into a spreadsheet or QuickBooks at the end of the month. Receipts live in group chats, reimbursements go out before they are recorded, and the books drift from the bank balance. At officer turnover the next treasurer inherits a file they did not build and a Form 990 deadline nobody mentioned.

## Books that are built from the payments, not reconstructed from them

Dueflow records every chapter transaction at the moment it happens – dues, payment plans, reimbursements, store and event sales, and chapter billing – so the ledger is the source of truth instead of a copy of one. Connect QuickBooks Online once and post each completed payout as a deposit split by income category with fees as an expense line, tying to the bank statement to the penny. The same ledger produces the gross-receipts and revenue-line workpapers a Form 990 needs, and exports to Excel or CSV for an advisor or CPA.

## Features

- **One chapter ledger**: Dues, reimbursements, store sales, donations, and chapter billing are recorded as they happen, with the member, date, and category attached – no re-keying.
- **QuickBooks Online sync**: Authorize QuickBooks Online in one OAuth step and map your chart of accounts once. Officers then post completed payouts as categorized deposits that match the bank deposit exactly.
- **Reimbursements with receipts**: Members submit expenses with receipts; treasurers approve, reject, or pay. Every action is logged, so the expense side of the books is as clean as the income side.
- **Form 990 workpapers**: Deadline tracking by your chapter's fiscal year, exemption-status monitoring, and gross-receipts and revenue-line workpapers built from the ledger for your 990-N, 990-EZ, or full 990.
- **Excel, CSV, and QuickBooks exports**: Export the full transaction history for an advisor, a CPA, or nationals reporting – clean records that survive officer transitions.
- **Audit trail on every entry**: Who recorded it, who approved it, when it was paid, and which QuickBooks deposit it synced to. Exactly what an advisor or alumni board asks to see.
- **AI finance assistant**: Ask plain-English questions about outstanding dues, collection rates, and spending trends and get answers from your chapter's own records.
- **Chapter and nationals views**: National organizations see per-chapter financials, cross-chapter analytics, and consolidated reporting from the same ledger – at no cost.

## FAQ

**What is fraternity accounting software?**

Fraternity accounting software keeps a chapter's books – dues income, reimbursements, store and event sales, and fees – in one ledger and produces the reports a treasurer, advisor, or CPA needs. Dueflow does this from the payments themselves: because dues and sales are collected through Dueflow, every transaction is recorded with its category when it happens, then synced to QuickBooks Online and used to prepare Form 990 workpapers.

**Does Dueflow replace QuickBooks for a fraternity chapter?**

For most chapters Dueflow is the system of record and QuickBooks is optional. Chapters that keep formal books, or whose nationals or CPA require QuickBooks, connect QuickBooks Online once and post each completed payout to QuickBooks as a categorized deposit. Chapters that do not use QuickBooks export to Excel or CSV instead.

**How does Dueflow handle Form 990 filing?**

Dueflow tracks your chapter's fiscal year and 990 deadline, monitors tax-exempt status against IRS records, and builds gross-receipts, revenue-line, and balance-sheet workpapers from your ledger. It tells you whether a 990-N, 990-EZ, or full 990 applies, supports CPA review, and your officer files the return.

**What does fraternity accounting software cost with Dueflow?**

Dueflow is free for chapters and nationals – $0 platform fees. Members pay a small processing fee per payment. There is no per-member or per-semester charge for the accounting, QuickBooks sync, or reporting features.

**Can members pay with Venmo or cash and still have it recorded?**

Yes. Treasurers can record off-platform payments such as cash, check, Venmo, or Zelle against a member's balance so the ledger stays complete, while card, ACH, Apple Pay, and Klarna payments through Dueflow are recorded automatically.

**Is Dueflow accounting software for sororities too?**

Yes. The same ledger, QuickBooks Online sync, reimbursements, and Form 990 tooling work for sorority chapters, multicultural and NPHC organizations, and other student organizations that collect dues.

# Sorority Dues Collection Software

Last updated September 7, 2026

Dueflow pricing: $0 platform fees for chapters and nationals forever. Members pay a small processing fee per payment.

> Modern dues collection and treasury management built for sorority chapters. Automate payments, track finances, and eliminate the stress of chasing sisters for dues.

## Dues collection shouldn't create tension in your chapter

Sorority treasurers face a unique challenge: collecting money from your sisters while maintaining chapter harmony. Chasing payments through group chats and Venmo requests creates awkward dynamics. Legacy platforms charge per-member fees that inflate already-expensive dues. And when the new VP Finance takes over, she inherits a mess of spreadsheets and incomplete records.

## Automated, professional dues collection for sorority chapters

Dueflow takes the personal pressure out of dues collection. Members receive automated reminders via email and SMS – you never have to personally chase anyone. They pay through a professional portal with the payment method of their choice. Everything is tracked automatically, so handoffs between officers are seamless.

## Features

- **Flexible payment options**: ACH, credit card, Apple Pay, and Klarna buy-now-pay-later. Members choose what works for their budget.
- **Automatic payment reminders**: Email and SMS reminders go out on your schedule. No more awkward messages in the group chat.
- **Expense reimbursements**: Sisters submit expenses with receipts. Approve, reject, and track reimbursements with a full audit trail.
- **Member portal**: Every sister sees her dues status, payment history, and outstanding balance in a personal dashboard.
- **Financial transparency**: Real-time dashboards and exportable reports so the whole exec board can see where the money is.
- **No chapter fees**: Dueflow is free for sorority chapters. No per-member charges, no contracts, no hidden costs.

## FAQ

**Is Dueflow designed for sororities specifically?**

Dueflow is built for all Greek life organizations – fraternities and sororities. The platform handles the specific needs of sorority chapters including dues collection, reimbursements, merchandise sales, member management, and analytics.

**Can parents pay dues for their daughter?**

Yes. Dueflow supports parent/guardian payments. The payment link can be shared directly with parents, and they can pay via any supported method.

**How do sorority chapters use Dueflow for philanthropy events?**

Use the built-in Store feature to sell event tickets, merchandise, and fundraiser items. Each listing gets a shareable link and QR code, with built-in inventory tracking and payment processing.

**What if our nationals requires a specific platform?**

Many nationals are transitioning to modern platforms. Dueflow supports nationals-level oversight with cross-chapter analytics and reporting. We work with chapters and nationals to make the transition seamless.

# Sorority Dues Software

Last updated July 25, 2026

Dueflow pricing: $0 platform fees for chapters and nationals forever. Members pay a small processing fee per payment.

> Bill every sister for dues, recruitment fees, and event costs in minutes – with automated reminders, payment plans, and zero platform fees for your chapter.

## Big chapters make dues billing genuinely hard

A sorority chapter with 150+ members can bill out six figures a year across dues, new member fees, formals, and recruitment. Tracking that in a spreadsheet – or juggling a legacy platform that charges per-member fees on top of already-expensive dues – means the VP Finance spends her semester reconciling payments instead of managing the budget. And every unpaid balance turns into an awkward one-on-one conversation with a sister.

## Dues software that fits how sorority chapters actually bill

Dueflow lets you bill your whole roster – or just the new member class – in one step. Sisters and their parents pay by ACH, card, or Apple Pay through a professional portal, payment plans handle members who need to split large balances, and automated email and SMS reminders do the following up so no one on exec has to. Your chapter pays nothing: no per-member fees, no subscription, no contract.

## Features

- **Bill by class or group**: Charge the whole chapter, a pledge class, or just the members attending formal – each group gets exactly the right invoice.
- **Payment plans**: Let sisters split large dues balances into installments with each partial payment tracked against the total automatically.
- **Parents can pay directly**: Share a payment link with parents and they pay in seconds – no account, no app download, no forwarding screenshots.
- **Reminders without the awkwardness**: Automated email and SMS reminders go out on your schedule, so no sister ever has to chase another sister for money.
- **Live paid / unpaid board**: See exactly who has paid, who is on a plan, and what is outstanding – in real time, exportable for advisors and nationals.
- **Zero platform fees**: Dueflow is free for sorority chapters – no per-member charges. Members pay a small processing fee and the chapter keeps 100% of dues.

## FAQ

**How much does sorority dues software cost with Dueflow?**

Nothing for your chapter – $0, with no per-member fees, no monthly subscription, and no contract. Members pay a small processing fee at checkout, and the chapter receives 100% of the dues amount you set.

**Can we bill different amounts to different members?**

Yes. Bill live-in and live-out members differently, charge new members a one-time fee, or invoice only the sisters attending an event. Groups and per-member adjustments make mixed billing simple.

**How do payment plans work for large dues balances?**

You enable partial payments on any charge, and sisters pay in installments on their own schedule. Dueflow tracks every partial payment against the balance and keeps reminding until it's paid in full.

**Can parents pay a sister's dues?**

Yes – every charge has a shareable payment link that works for anyone. Parents pay by ACH, card, or Apple Pay without creating an account.

**What if our nationals already mandates a billing platform?**

Many chapters use Dueflow alongside a nationals-mandated system for local billing – formals, recruitment costs, sisterhood events, and fines – and some nationals are open to switching chapter-level billing entirely. We're happy to talk through what your organization allows.

# Sorority Finance Software

Last updated July 25, 2026

Dueflow pricing: $0 platform fees for chapters and nationals forever. Members pay a small processing fee per payment.

> Run your chapter's entire financial life – dues, budgets, reimbursements, and event revenue – in one place your whole exec board can see. Free for chapters.

## Sorority finances are bigger than a spreadsheet

Between dues, recruitment, sisterhood events, philanthropy revenue, and formal, a sorority chapter's money moves through more hands than almost any student organization on campus. When it's all tracked across spreadsheets, Venmo histories, and a shoebox of receipts, the VP Finance can't answer basic questions – how much did recruitment actually cost? – and advisors and standards boards are left trusting rather than verifying.

## One financial system for the whole chapter

Dueflow puts collection, spending, and reporting in one place. Dues and event payments come in through the platform, sisters submit reimbursements with receipts attached, and every dollar lands in a real-time dashboard the exec board and advisors can actually read. When officers transition at the end of the year, the incoming VP Finance inherits organized records instead of a mystery.

## Features

- **All revenue in one place**: Dues, new member fees, event tickets, and merch sales all flow through one platform with one clean record.
- **Reimbursements with receipts**: Sisters submit expenses with photos of receipts. Approve or reject in one click, with a full audit trail.
- **Spending visibility**: See what recruitment, sisterhood, and philanthropy actually cost – not what the budget hoped they would.
- **Built-in storefront**: Sell philanthropy shirts, event tickets, and merch with shareable links and QR codes – inventory tracked automatically.
- **Reports advisors trust**: Export clean financial reports for advisors, house corporations, and nationals in seconds.
- **AI finance assistant**: Ask questions about your chapter's finances in plain English and get answers backed by your real data.

## FAQ

**What does sorority finance software need to cover?**

The full cycle: billing dues, collecting payments, reimbursing sisters who front expenses, selling event tickets and merch, and reporting it all back to the exec board, advisors, and nationals. Dueflow covers each of those in one platform instead of five tools.

**How much does Dueflow cost for sororities?**

Dueflow is free for chapters – no per-member fees, no subscription, no contract. Members pay a small processing fee when they pay, and the chapter keeps 100% of what it bills.

**Can our advisor or house corporation see the finances?**

Yes. Role-based access lets advisors and other stakeholders view dashboards and reports without being able to move money, so oversight doesn't depend on screenshots.

**How does Dueflow handle officer transitions?**

Everything – payment history, budgets, reimbursements, member records – lives in the platform, not in a personal spreadsheet. The incoming VP Finance gets full continuity on day one instead of rebuilding records from scratch.

**Does Dueflow work for sorority philanthropy events?**

Yes. The built-in store sells tickets and merchandise with shareable links and QR codes, and all proceeds are tracked alongside the rest of your chapter's finances – so philanthropy totals are one export away.

# Software Built for Sorority Treasurers

Last updated July 25, 2026

Dueflow pricing: $0 platform fees for chapters and nationals forever. Members pay a small processing fee per payment.

> Everything a sorority treasurer or VP Finance needs to run chapter money – billing, reminders, reimbursements, and reports – without spreadsheets or awkward conversations.

## VP Finance shouldn't be a full-time job

You were elected VP Finance, and now you're personally responsible for one of the largest budgets of any student org on campus – often with nothing but a handed-down spreadsheet and a binder from your predecessor. You're reconciling Venmo payments at midnight, texting sisters about balances you'd rather not bring up at chapter, and dreading the day nationals or your advisor asks for a report you'll have to build by hand.

## The tools that make the role manageable

Dueflow was built for chapter finance officers. Your dashboard shows collected, outstanding, and upcoming money in real time. Automated reminders handle every follow-up, reimbursements arrive with receipts already attached, and any report an advisor asks for is an export, not a project. When your term ends, your successor logs into a clean system instead of inheriting your spreadsheet.

## Features

- **One dashboard for everything**: Collected, outstanding, and upcoming payments at a glance – the whole chapter's finances without a single spreadsheet.
- **Reminders you never send**: Email and SMS follow-ups go out automatically until sisters pay, so you're never the one asking twice.
- **One-click reimbursements**: Sisters submit receipts through the portal; you approve from your phone and every payout is documented.
- **Reports on demand**: Advisor wants a budget update? Nationals wants numbers? Export a clean report in seconds.
- **Semester-over-semester trends**: Compare collection rates and spending across terms so you can budget from real data, not guesses.
- **Painless officer handoff**: Your successor inherits complete records, running reminders, and a working system – not a folder of mystery files.

## FAQ

**Is Dueflow built for sorority treasurers or VP Finance roles?**

Both – the title varies by organization, but the job is the same, and Dueflow is designed around it: billing the chapter, tracking who's paid, handling reimbursements, and reporting to advisors and nationals.

**How much time does Dueflow actually save?**

The biggest wins are automated reminders (no more individual follow-up texts), self-serve payment tracking (no more reconciling Venmo against a spreadsheet), and instant reports. Treasurers typically go from hours per week to minutes.

**What happens when I hand off to the next VP Finance?**

You add her as an officer and she sees everything you see – full payment history, budgets, reimbursements, and member records. The handoff is a permissions change, not a semester-long knowledge transfer.

**Do sisters need to download an app to pay?**

No. Sisters (or their parents) pay through a link in the reminder email or text – ACH, card, or Apple Pay – with no app and no account required.

**How much does Dueflow cost?**

It's free for chapters – no per-member fees, no subscription, no contract. Members pay a small processing fee at checkout, and your chapter keeps 100% of what you bill.

# Software Built for Fraternity Treasurers

Last updated October 3, 2026

Dueflow pricing: $0 platform fees for chapters and nationals forever. Members pay a small processing fee per payment.

> Everything a fraternity or sorority treasurer needs to manage chapter finances – from dues collection to reimbursements to financial reports. Built by treasurers who lived the pain.

## Being treasurer is hard enough without bad tools

You got elected treasurer, and suddenly you're responsible for thousands of dollars with tools from 2005. You're chasing payments in group chats, tracking who paid in a spreadsheet, writing checks for reimbursements, and trying to explain the budget at chapter meetings with incomplete data. When your term ends, you hand off a mess to the next treasurer. The cycle repeats every year.

## Tools that make treasury actually manageable

Dueflow was built by fraternity treasurers who experienced this exact pain. Every feature exists because a real treasurer needed it. The dashboard gives you a real-time view of your chapter's finances. Automated reminders handle the chasing. Reimbursement workflows eliminate paper receipts. And when you hand off to the next treasurer, they inherit a clean, organized system.

## Features

- **Treasurer dashboard**: See total collected, outstanding dues, member payment rates, and revenue trends at a glance. No spreadsheets needed.
- **Set-and-forget reminders**: Configure reminder schedules once. Dueflow handles email and SMS follow-ups automatically.
- **Reimbursement workflows**: Members submit expenses digitally. You review, approve, and pay from your dashboard with a complete audit trail.
- **One-click exports**: Export payment records, member lists, and financial summaries to Excel, CSV, or QuickBooks in one click.
- **AI financial assistant**: Ask Dueflow's AI questions in plain English: 'Who hasn't paid fall dues?' or 'What's our collection rate this semester?'
- **Seamless officer transitions**: Every payment, receipt, and decision is logged. The next treasurer picks up right where you left off.

## FAQ

**Do I need accounting experience to use Dueflow?**

No. Dueflow is designed for student treasurers, not professional accountants. The interface is intuitive, and the AI assistant can answer financial questions in plain English.

**How long does it take to set up?**

Most treasurers are fully set up in 5 minutes. Create your account, invite members, connect your bank account, and create your first payment. We also offer personal onboarding if you want a walkthrough.

**What happens when I graduate or the new treasurer takes over?**

Add the new treasurer as an admin, and they instantly have access to the full history – every payment, every reimbursement, every report. No data is lost, no spreadsheets to transfer.

**Can the whole exec board see financial data?**

Yes. You can add other officers with different permission levels (admin, editor, viewer) so the president and VP can see financial dashboards without being able to modify payments.

# Dues Collection for Student Organizations

Last updated September 7, 2026

Dueflow pricing: $0 platform fees for chapters and nationals forever. Members pay a small processing fee per payment.

> Collect dues and manage finances for any student club, honor society, club sports team, or campus organization. Free to use, 5-minute setup.

## Student orgs deserve real financial tools

Most campus organizations run finances through Venmo requests and Google Sheets. There's no formal record of who paid, no automated follow-up, and no easy way to hand off to the next treasurer. When your org needs to account for funds – for SGA audits, national headquarters, or tax purposes – you're stuck piecing together Venmo screenshots.

## Professional treasury tools for any campus organization

Dueflow gives student organizations the same financial infrastructure that Greek chapters use – but it works for any org type. Set up in 5 minutes, start collecting dues immediately, and let automated reminders handle the follow-up. Every payment is recorded, every dollar is tracked, and reports are exportable at any time.

## Features

- **Collect dues online**: Members pay via ACH, credit card, Apple Pay, or Klarna. Share a payment link – no app download needed.
- **Automated reminders**: Email and SMS reminders go out on schedule. Stop chasing members in group chats.
- **Sell merch and tickets**: Use the built-in store to sell club merchandise, event tickets, or fundraiser items with inventory tracking.
- **Financial tracking**: See who's paid, track outstanding balances, and export reports for SGA audits or organizational reviews.
- **Expense reimbursements**: Members submit expenses with receipts. Officers approve or reject with a transparent audit trail.
- **Always free**: No platform fees, no per-member charges, no contracts. Dueflow is free for all student organizations.

## FAQ

**Is Dueflow only for Greek organizations?**

No. Dueflow works for any student organization – honor societies, club sports teams, student government, professional clubs, cultural organizations, and more. The platform is designed for any group that collects dues or manages shared finances.

**What if our club is small?**

Dueflow works for organizations of any size. Whether you have 10 members or 500, the platform scales with you. And since it's free, there's no minimum to justify the cost.

**Can we use this for fundraising?**

Yes. Use the Store feature to create fundraiser listings with shareable links and QR codes. Track inventory, collect payments, and manage orders all in one place.

**Do members need to create accounts?**

Members don't need to download an app or create an account to pay. They receive a payment link via email or SMS and pay directly from their browser.

# Fraternity & Sorority Dues Collection Software

Last updated October 9, 2026

Dueflow pricing: $0 platform fees for chapters and nationals forever. Members pay a small processing fee per payment.

> Automate dues collection for fraternities, sororities, clubs, and student organizations. Multiple payment methods, automated reminders, and zero platform fees.

## Manual dues collection wastes everyone's time

If you're collecting dues through Venmo requests, Cash App, or manual checks, you already know the problems: no record of who paid, constant follow-up messages, no automated receipts, and no way to generate reports. You spend hours every month on what should be a simple process. And the members who forget to pay? You have to chase them personally.

Fraternities, sororities, honor societies, club sports teams, student government, professional organizations, and any group that collects recurring fees from members.

**How are payment methods different from Venmo or Zelle?**

Yes. You can collect for events, merchandise, fundraisers, house fees, or any other recurring or one-time payment. The Store feature also lets you sell items with inventory tracking.

# Fraternity Reimbursement Software

Last updated September 7, 2026

Dueflow pricing: $0 platform fees for chapters and nationals forever. Members pay a small processing fee per payment.

> Digital expense reimbursements for fraternity and sorority chapters. Members submit receipts, treasurers approve with one click, and every action is logged.

## Paper receipts and Venmo refunds are not reimbursements

When a brother buys supplies for a chapter event, what happens? He texts the treasurer a photo of the receipt. The treasurer Venmos him back from a personal account. There's no formal record, no approval process, and no audit trail. If nationals or the university asks for documentation, you're digging through old text messages.

## A real reimbursement workflow for chapters

Dueflow gives your chapter a proper reimbursement system. Members submit expenses through the member portal – they upload the receipt, categorize the expense, and enter the amount. The treasurer reviews submissions in a dedicated inbox, approves or rejects with one click, and records the payout. Every action is logged with timestamps and actor identification.

## Features

- **Digital receipt submission**: Members upload receipts and expense details from their phone or computer. No paper, no text messages.
- **One-click approval**: Treasurers review expenses in a dedicated inbox. Approve, reject, or request more info with a single click.
- **Full audit trail**: Every action is logged – who submitted, who approved, when it was paid, and the exact amounts. Perfect for audits.
- **Custom expense categories**: Create categories that match your chapter's budget (events, supplies, philanthropy, etc.) for organized tracking.
- **Nationals visibility**: National organizations can view chapter expenses in read-only mode for oversight without interfering with chapter operations.
- **Flexible payout methods**: Record payouts via Venmo, Zelle, check, cash, or direct bank transfer. Every method is tracked.

## FAQ

**How is this different from just Venmoing people back?**

Venmo has no approval workflow, no receipt storage, no audit trail, and no reporting. Dueflow tracks the full lifecycle: submission, review, approval, and payment – with receipts attached and every action logged.

**Can members submit reimbursements from their phone?**

Yes. Members submit expenses through the member portal, which is fully mobile-friendly. They can snap a photo of a receipt and submit it in under a minute.

**Do national organizations have access to chapter expenses?**

Yes. Nationals can view all chapter expense submissions in read-only mode. They can filter by chapter, member, category, status, or date – without being able to approve or modify chapter decisions.

**Can we set spending policies?**

Yes. You can require receipts for all reimbursements and create custom expense categories that match your chapter's budget structure.

# Fraternity Merchandise Store Software

Last updated September 7, 2026

Dueflow pricing: $0 platform fees for chapters and nationals forever. Members pay a small processing fee per payment.

> Sell merch, event tickets, and fundraiser items directly from your chapter's platform. Built-in inventory, shareable links, and integrated payments.

## Stop running merch sales through Google Forms

Chapters selling merchandise, event tickets, or fundraiser items usually cobble together a Google Form, a Venmo account, and a spreadsheet. Orders get lost, inventory isn't tracked, and reconciling payments takes hours. Third-party merch platforms take large cuts and don't integrate with your chapter's financial records.

## A built-in store connected to your treasury

Dueflow's Store feature lets you create product listings with inventory tracking, custom checkout fields, and multiple payment methods – all within the same platform you use for dues. Revenue flows into your chapter's financial dashboard automatically. Every order is tracked and exportable.

## Features

- **Product listings**: Create listings for merchandise, event tickets, fundraiser items, or anything else. Add multiple items with individual pricing and inventory.
- **Inventory management**: Set total inventory and per-person purchase limits. Overselling is prevented at the database level.
- **Shareable links and QR codes**: Every listing gets a unique URL and QR code. Share on social media, in group chats, or print on flyers.
- **Custom checkout fields**: Add text, number, date, phone, or dropdown fields to collect sizes, dietary preferences, or any custom info.
- **Integrated payments**: Buyers pay via ACH, card, Apple Pay, or Klarna. Revenue appears in your chapter's financial dashboard.
- **Order export**: Export all orders to CSV including custom field values. Perfect for fulfillment, event check-in, or record keeping.

## FAQ

**Can non-members purchase from the store?**

Yes. Store listings are publicly accessible via shareable links. Buyers can either select themselves from the member list or enter guest information (name and email).

**Is the store separate from dues collection?**

The Store is a separate feature within the same platform. Store revenue is tracked in your financial dashboard alongside dues, giving you a complete picture of chapter income.

**Can we use this for event tickets?**

Yes. Create a listing for your event, set ticket quantities and per-person limits, add custom fields (meal choice, plus-one name, etc.), and share the link. Orders are tracked and exportable for event check-in.

# Automated Dues Reminders

Last updated September 7, 2026

Dueflow pricing: $0 platform fees for chapters and nationals forever. Members pay a small processing fee per payment.

> Stop chasing members for payments. Dueflow sends automated SMS and email reminders on your schedule until members pay.

## You're not a debt collector – you're a treasurer

The worst part of being treasurer is the constant follow-up. You post in the group chat, send individual texts, bring it up at chapter meetings – and still, members don't pay on time. The personal friction damages relationships and morale. It's exhausting, and it doesn't even work that well.

## Professional reminders that don't come from you

Dueflow sends payment reminders from the platform, not from you personally. Set your reminder interval – every day, every 3 days, weekly – and the system handles it. Members receive professional emails and SMS messages with a direct link to pay. When they pay, reminders stop automatically. You focus on running the chapter, not chasing payments.

## Features

- **Email and SMS reminders**: Multi-channel reminders reach members wherever they are. Email for detailed info, SMS for immediate attention.
- **Customizable intervals**: Set reminders to go out daily, every 3 days, weekly, or on a custom schedule. Adjust per payment or per group.
- **One-click payment from reminder**: Every reminder includes a direct payment link. Members tap once and they're at the checkout – zero friction.
- **Collection rate tracking**: See how reminders are performing. Track collection rates over time and adjust your strategy.
- **Bulk payment prompts**: Members with multiple outstanding dues see a 'Pay all' option in their reminder, with combined fee savings.
- **Automatic stop on payment**: Once a member pays, reminders stop immediately. No manual intervention needed.

## FAQ

**How do SMS reminders work?**

When you enable SMS reminders, members receive text messages with their outstanding amount and a direct link to pay. SMS reminders are sent alongside email reminders for maximum reach.

**Can I customize the reminder schedule per member?**

Reminder schedules are set per payment or per billing group. All members in a group receive reminders on the same schedule. You can also send manual one-time reminders to specific members at any time.

**Do reminders come from my personal number?**

No. All reminders are sent from Dueflow's notification system. Members see a professional payment request from your chapter – not a personal text from the treasurer.

**How much do automated reminders reduce late payments?**

Chapters using Dueflow's automated reminders see 60-70% fewer late payments compared to manual collection methods.

# Nationals Chapter Management Software

Last updated September 7, 2026

Dueflow pricing: $0 platform fees for chapters and nationals forever. Members pay a small processing fee per payment.

> Cross-chapter financial oversight for national fraternity and sorority organizations. Per-chapter analytics, organization-wide reminders, and consolidated reporting – all free.

## You can't manage what you can't see

National organizations struggle with financial visibility across chapters. Each chapter runs its own system – some use OmegaFi, some use spreadsheets, some use nothing. Getting a consistent view of dues collection rates, outstanding balances, and chapter financial health requires manual outreach and data aggregation. By the time you have the numbers, they're already outdated.

## Real-time chapter financial oversight

Dueflow gives national organizations a centralized dashboard with real-time visibility into every chapter's finances. See per-chapter collection rates, outstanding balances, and payment trends – without asking chapters to submit reports. Send organization-wide payment reminders. View chapter expenses for oversight. Export consolidated data for board reporting.

## Features

- **Multi-chapter dashboard**: See all chapters at a glance – collection rates, outstanding dues, payment activity, and financial trends.
- **Cross-chapter analytics**: Compare chapter performance side by side. Identify chapters that need attention before problems escalate.
- **Organization-wide reminders**: Send payment reminders to all chapters at once, or target specific chapters with custom messages.
- **Chapter expense oversight**: View chapter expense submissions and reimbursements in read-only mode. Full visibility without interfering with chapter operations.
- **Consolidated reporting**: Export organization-wide financial data for board meetings, tax filings, or compliance requirements.
- **Free for nationals**: Dueflow is free for national organizations. No per-chapter fees, no per-member fees, no contracts.

## FAQ

**Is Dueflow free for nationals?**

Yes. The standard Nationals tier is completely free – $0 forever. We also offer Nationals Pro at $50/chapter/month for organizations that need custom integrations, bespoke reporting, priority support, and dedicated account management.

**Do chapters need to use Dueflow for nationals to get visibility?**

Yes, chapters need to be on Dueflow for their financial data to appear in the nationals dashboard. The platform is free for chapters, making adoption straightforward.

**Can nationals set payment policies for chapters?**

Nationals can view chapter activity and send organization-wide reminders. Custom payment logic and approval workflows are available on the Nationals Pro plan.

**How does this compare to OmegaFi or BillHighway for nationals?**

Legacy platforms charge significant per-chapter and per-member fees for nationals services. Dueflow provides comparable oversight capabilities at zero cost, with a modern interface and real-time data – not monthly reports.

# Fraternity & Sorority Management Software

Last updated September 29, 2026

Dueflow pricing: $0 platform fees for chapters and nationals forever. Members pay a small processing fee per payment.

> Fraternity and sorority management software for chapters and their national headquarters – the best app for running a fraternity chapter's money and membership. Dues collection, member management, reimbursements, event ticketing, merchandise sales, analytics, AI, and HQ oversight – all in one place, at $0 to the chapter.

## Managing a fraternity shouldn't require 6 different tools

Most chapters piece together Venmo for dues, Google Sheets for budgets, GroupMe for communication, a separate platform for merch, and maybe OmegaFi because nationals requires it. Each tool creates data silos, drops context between officers, and makes it impossible to get a clear picture of chapter operations. When a new exec board takes over, they inherit a disjointed mess and start from scratch.

## One platform for everything your chapter needs

Dueflow consolidates your chapter's core operations into a single platform. Collect dues with automated reminders. Process reimbursements with digital receipts and audit trails. Sell merch and event tickets through a built-in store. Track everything in a real-time dashboard. Ask questions to an AI assistant that knows your chapter's finances. When officers transition, the next team picks up exactly where you left off.

## Features

- **Dues collection**: Automated billing with ACH, card, Apple Pay, and Klarna. Smart reminders reduce late payments by 60-70%.
- **Member management**: Member directory with profiles, payment history, contact info, and parent/guardian details. Role-based access for the exec board.
- **Reimbursements**: Digital expense submission, receipt upload, approval workflows, and full audit trails. No more Venmo refunds and lost receipts.
- **Store and events**: Sell merch, event tickets, and fundraiser items with inventory tracking, custom fields, and shareable links.
- **Analytics dashboard**: Real-time financial dashboards, collection progress, revenue trends, and exportable reports for chapter meetings.
- **Communication**: Automated email and SMS payment reminders, bi-weekly treasury insight emails, and member notifications.
- **AI assistant**: Ask questions about your chapter's finances in plain English. Get instant answers about dues, payments, and trends.
- **Nationals integration**: National organizations get cross-chapter oversight, comparative analytics, and organization-wide management tools.

## FAQ

**Is Dueflow a full chapter management platform?**

Yes. Dueflow handles dues collection, member management, expense reimbursements, merchandise and event sales, financial analytics, AI-powered insights, and nationals oversight. It's designed to be the single platform your chapter needs for financial and operational management.

**How does Dueflow compare to GreekTrack or DashBill?**

Dueflow offers comparable chapter management features – dues, members, events, and communication – plus reimbursements, a merch store, AI tools, and nationals oversight. Unlike GreekTrack or DashBill, Dueflow charges zero platform fees. Members pay a small convenience fee per payment.

**How does Dueflow compare to newer chapter apps like Greekly, Greekstack, ChapterHub, Covey, or Greek Chapter?**

Those tools lead with recruitment, a branded chapter site, or general club membership, and each bills the chapter: Greekstack charges $1,000 a year plus 5% of everything collected, Covey starts at $89 a month, Greekly sells annual contracts on a quote, Greek Chapter is $200 a year and lists no dues features, and ChapterHub's dues fee is still a placeholder while it is in beta. Dueflow covers dues, payment plans, reimbursements, budgets, store, analytics, AI, Form 990 filing, and nationals oversight at $0 to the chapter, with a side-by-side page for each at dueflow.co/vs.

**Can the whole exec board use it?**

Yes. Add officers with different permission levels – admin, editor, or viewer. The president can see financial dashboards, the social chair can manage store listings, and the treasurer controls payments.

**Do we need to keep using Google Sheets and Venmo?**

No. Dueflow replaces your spreadsheets for tracking, Venmo for collecting, and separate tools for reimbursements and merch. Everything is in one platform with proper records and audit trails.

**What happens when the exec board turns over?**

New officers are added as admins and immediately have access to the full history – every payment, every reimbursement, every report. No spreadsheet handoffs, no lost data. The platform is designed to survive annual turnover.

**Is it free?**

Dueflow is free for chapters and nationals – $0, forever. No per-member fees, no contracts. Members pay a small convenience fee when they make a payment to cover processing costs.

**What is the best app for running a fraternity chapter?**

For the money and membership side of running a chapter – dues, new member fees, payment plans, reimbursements, budgets, member records, and the reports exec, advisors, and headquarters ask for – Dueflow is the strongest choice and costs the chapter $0. Chapters pair it with a recruitment tool such as Rush+ or ChapterBuilder and a chat app such as GroupMe or Flare, because no single app does dues, rush, and communication well.

# Greek Life Management Software

Last updated September 17, 2026

Dueflow pricing: $0 platform fees for chapters and nationals forever. Members pay a small processing fee per payment.

> The modern platform for fraternity and sorority chapter operations. Replace OmegaFi, GreekBill, and spreadsheets with one tool for dues, members, events, reimbursements, and more.

## Greek life software hasn't been updated since the 2000s

The platforms that dominate Greek life – OmegaFi, GreekBill, BillHighway – were built 15-20 years ago. They charge per-member fees, require lengthy onboarding, and have interfaces that look like they belong on a Blackberry. Meanwhile, chapters work around them with Venmo, Google Sheets, and GroupMe. The result: fragmented records, frustrated treasurers, and chapters paying thousands per year for software they don't even like.

## Fraternity and sorority management software built for how chapters actually operate in 2026

Dueflow is a modern, mobile-friendly platform designed for how Greek chapters work today. Members pay dues from their phone in 30 seconds. Treasurers see real-time dashboards instead of monthly reports. Reimbursements are digital, not paper. Merch sales run through the same platform as dues. And it costs chapters nothing – ever.

## Features

- **Modern payments**: ACH, cards, Apple Pay, Google Pay, and Klarna BNPL. Members pay in 30 seconds from any device.
- **Member portal**: Every member gets a dashboard with dues status, payment history, reimbursement tracking, and profile management.
- **Automated outreach**: Email and SMS payment reminders, treasury insight emails, and member notifications – all automated.
- **Expense management**: Digital reimbursements with receipt upload, approval workflows, custom categories, and audit trails.
- **Events and merchandise**: Sell event tickets, chapter merch, and fundraiser items with inventory tracking and custom checkout fields.
- **Chapter analytics**: Real-time dashboards for collection progress, revenue breakdown, member activity, and financial trends.
- **Nationals support**: National organizations get free cross-chapter oversight, comparative analytics, and consolidated reporting.
- **Zero platform fees**: Free for chapters and nationals. No per-member fees, no contracts, no hidden costs. Members pay a small convenience fee.

## FAQ

**What is fraternity and sorority management software?**

Fraternity and sorority management software is one platform that runs a Greek chapter's operations: billing and collecting dues, tracking members and officers, handling reimbursements, selling event tickets and merch, and reporting up to nationals. Legacy options like OmegaFi, greekbill, and Billhighway charge per-member platform fees. Dueflow covers the same operations with zero platform fees for the chapter, a member portal, automated reminders, and real-time dashboards.

**What makes Dueflow different from OmegaFi or GreekBill?**

Three things: price ($0 platform fees vs $15-30/member), speed (5-minute setup vs weeks of onboarding), and experience (modern, mobile-friendly interface vs outdated portals). Dueflow also includes features legacy platforms don't – like buy-now-pay-later, AI financial insights, and a built-in merch store.

**Does Dueflow work for both fraternities and sororities?**

Yes. Dueflow is built for all Greek organizations – fraternities, sororities, co-ed Greek organizations, and multicultural Greek councils. The platform adapts to any chapter structure.

**Can we use this even if nationals requires another platform?**

Many nationals are open to modern alternatives, especially when they see the cost savings and better data. Dueflow includes nationals-level tools so headquarters can still maintain oversight. We work with chapters to make the transition case to nationals.

**How is this different from DashBill or GreekTrack?**

DashBill and GreekTrack cover chapter operations broadly but charge platform fees and may lack features like BNPL payments, AI chat, reimbursement workflows, and merchandise stores. Dueflow includes all of these at zero cost to chapters.

**What if we're currently using spreadsheets and Venmo?**

That's exactly who Dueflow is built for. Set up in 5 minutes, add your members, create your first payment, and let automated reminders handle the rest. You'll have proper records, real-time tracking, and exportable reports from day one.

# Fraternity Analytics Dashboard

Last updated September 7, 2026

Dueflow pricing: $0 platform fees for chapters and nationals forever. Members pay a small processing fee per payment.

> Real-time financial analytics for fraternity and sorority chapters. Track dues collection, revenue trends, member payment behavior, and chapter financial health.

## You can't run a chapter on vibes

How much has your chapter collected this semester? What's the collection rate? How many members are past due? Most treasurers can't answer these questions without spending an hour in a spreadsheet. Without real-time data, you're making financial decisions based on guesswork – and presenting incomplete information at chapter meetings.

## Financial clarity in real time

Dueflow's dashboard gives treasurers and exec boards instant visibility into chapter finances. See total collections, outstanding amounts, member payment rates, and revenue breakdowns – live, not last month. Drill into individual members, payment groups, or time periods. Export reports for chapter meetings, nationals reporting, or audits.

## Features

- **Collection progress**: See total collected vs outstanding at a glance. Track progress toward semester goals in real time.
- **Revenue trends**: Visualize income over time – from dues, store sales, and other sources. Spot trends and seasonal patterns.
- **Member payment behavior**: Track individual member payment history. Identify consistently late payers and members who always pay early.
- **Revenue breakdown**: See income split between dues and store sales. Understand where your chapter's money comes from.
- **Exportable reports**: Export any view to Excel, CSV, or QuickBooks-compatible formats. Create reports for chapter meetings or audits in seconds.
- **AI-powered insights**: Ask the AI assistant questions about your finances in plain English and get instant, accurate answers.

## FAQ

**What data does the dashboard track?**

The dashboard tracks total collections, outstanding amounts, member payment rates, revenue by source (dues vs store), payment method breakdown, collection progress over time, and individual member payment history.

**Can other exec board members access the dashboard?**

Yes. You can add officers with viewer permissions so they can see financial dashboards and reports without being able to modify payments or settings.

**Is the data real-time?**

Yes. The dashboard updates as payments come in. There's no waiting for monthly reports or manual data entry.

# Dueflow for Interfraternity Councils (IFC)

Last updated September 7, 2026

Dueflow pricing: $0 platform fees for chapters and nationals forever. Members pay a small processing fee per payment.

> Collect council dues from every member chapter, fund all-Greek programming, and keep IFC finances transparent through officer turnover – at zero platform cost.

## Running council finances across dozens of chapters is chaos

The IFC treasurer has to collect dues from every member fraternity, fund all-Greek events and philanthropy, and answer to the exec board and university – usually with a spreadsheet, a Venmo account, and a lot of follow-up texts. Chapters pay late or not at all, there's no clean record of who owes what, and when the council exec turns over each year, the next treasurer inherits a mess.

## One dashboard for the whole council's money

Dueflow lets the IFC bill every member chapter from one place, send automated reminders until they pay, and collect for all-Greek events and programming through shareable links. The council sees collection status across all chapters in real time, keeps a full record of every dollar, and hands off a clean system to the next exec board – all free.

## Features

- **Per-chapter dues billing**: Bill each member fraternity for council dues and track who's paid, who's outstanding, and how much is owed across the whole council.
- **Automated reminders**: Stop chasing chapter treasurers in the group chat. Dueflow sends email and SMS reminders until each chapter pays.
- **All-Greek event payments**: Sell tickets and collect for Greek Week, philanthropy events, and programming with shareable links and QR codes.
- **Council-wide dashboard**: See collection rates and balances across every chapter in real time – no more waiting on chapters to report numbers.
- **Clean officer transitions**: Every payment and decision is logged, so the next council treasurer picks up where you left off instead of starting over.
- **Zero platform fees**: Free for the council and member chapters. Members pay a small processing fee; the council keeps 100% of dues collected.

## FAQ

**How does an IFC collect dues from member chapters with Dueflow?**

Add each member fraternity, create a council dues payment for the term, and Dueflow bills them with automated reminders. You track every chapter's payment status from one dashboard, and chapters can pay by ACH, card, or Apple Pay.

**Can we collect for Greek Week and all-Greek philanthropy events?**

Yes. Use the Store feature to sell event tickets and collect programming fees with shareable links and QR codes. Revenue is tracked alongside dues in your financial dashboard.

**Does the university or exec board get financial visibility?**

You can add exec board members and advisors with viewer permissions so they see collection dashboards and reports without being able to move money.

**How much does Dueflow cost an IFC?**

Nothing. Dueflow is free for councils and chapters – no per-chapter or per-member fees. Members pay a small processing fee when they make a payment.

# Dueflow for Panhellenic Councils (CPC)

Last updated September 7, 2026

Dueflow pricing: $0 platform fees for chapters and nationals forever. Members pay a small processing fee per payment.

> Council dues, recruitment registration fees, and all-sorority programming – collected automatically and tracked in one place, free for your council.

## Recruitment season is a financial scramble

Panhellenic treasurers collect recruitment registration fees from hundreds of PNMs, council dues from every member sorority, and money for all-Greek programming – often in a compressed window with cash apps and a spreadsheet. Payments get lost, there's no clean record for the exec board, and the next council inherits an unclear picture.

## Professional collection for the whole council

Dueflow gives the Panhellenic Council one place to collect recruitment registration fees, bill member chapters for council dues, and run programming payments – with automated reminders, real-time dashboards, and clean records that survive officer turnover.

## Features

- **Reimbursements**: Council officers submit expenses with receipts; you approve and track every payout with a full audit trail.
- **Clean transitions**: Every record persists across officer turnover, so the next council treasurer starts with a complete picture.

## FAQ

Yes. Create a registration listing with a shareable link and QR code; PNMs pay online by card, ACH, or Apple Pay, and you get a tracked record of every registrant – perfect for recruitment season volume.

**How do we collect council dues from member sororities?**

**Is Dueflow free for a Panhellenic Council?**

# Dueflow for NPHC Councils & Chapters

Last updated September 7, 2026

Dueflow pricing: $0 platform fees for chapters and nationals forever. Members pay a small processing fee per payment.

> Modern dues, event ticketing, and programming payments for National Pan-Hellenic Council chapters and councils – flexible payment options and zero platform fees.

## Collecting for events and dues shouldn't mean cash apps

NPHC chapters and councils run step shows, probates, and community programming – often collecting through personal Cash App and Venmo accounts with no record, no receipts, and no easy way to account for the money to nationals or the university. Dues and event income blur together, and handoffs lose the history.

## Flexible, modern collection with clean records

Dueflow lets NPHC chapters and councils collect dues, sell event and step-show tickets, and run programming payments through one platform – with flexible payment methods including buy-now-pay-later, automatic receipts, and a clear financial record for every dollar.

## Features

- **Event & step-show ticketing**: Sell tickets to step shows, probates, and programming with shareable links and QR codes, plus built-in attendance tracking.
- **Flexible payment methods**: Members and attendees pay by ACH, card, Apple Pay, or Klarna buy-now-pay-later – whatever fits their budget.
- **Automated dues reminders**: Set a reminder schedule once and Dueflow follows up on outstanding dues by email and SMS automatically.
- **Member portal**: Every member sees their dues, payment history, and balance in a personal portal – no app download required.
- **Clear financial records**: Keep dues and event income separate and accountable, with exportable reports for nationals or the university.

Yes – Dueflow works for chapters of any size and is free, so there's no minimum to justify the cost. It's well-suited to smaller chapters that need real records without the overhead of legacy platforms.

**What payment methods can attendees and members use?**

ACH bank transfer, credit/debit card, Apple Pay, Google Pay, and Klarna buy-now-pay-later – giving members flexibility on how and when they pay.

Dueflow pricing: $0 platform fees for chapters and nationals forever. Members pay a small processing fee per payment.

> Collect council and chapter dues, run cultural programming and events, and manage finances across diverse member organizations – all free for your council.

## Diverse councils need flexible, unified finances

Multicultural Greek Councils span many organizations with different sizes, traditions, and financial needs. Collecting council dues, funding cultural programming, and running events across all of them usually means a patchwork of cash apps and spreadsheets – fragmented, hard to oversee, and impossible to hand off cleanly.

# Dueflow for Chapter Presidents

Last updated September 7, 2026

Dueflow pricing: $0 platform fees for chapters and nationals forever. Members pay a small processing fee per payment.

> See your chapter's finances in real time, keep your treasurer accountable, and never get blindsided by a budget shortfall – without touching a spreadsheet.

## You're accountable for money you can't see

As president, you answer to your chapter, your nationals, and your university for the chapter's finances – but you usually have zero visibility into them. You rely on the treasurer's word at chapter meetings, find out about shortfalls too late, and have no way to verify collection is on track until it's a crisis.

## Real-time financial visibility, the right permissions

Dueflow gives presidents a live view of the chapter's finances – collection rates, outstanding dues, and spending – with a viewer role that lets you see everything without being able to move money. You walk into chapter meetings with real numbers and catch problems before they escalate.

## Features

- **Real-time dashboard**: See total collected, outstanding dues, and member payment rates live – the same numbers your treasurer sees.
- **Role-based access**: A viewer role lets you and the exec board see financial dashboards and reports without being able to modify payments.
- **Collection visibility**: Know exactly how dues collection is tracking against the budget at any moment – no waiting on a report.
- **Full audit trail**: Every payment, reimbursement, and decision is logged with who did what and when – accountability built in.
- **Stay informed**: Keep a pulse on chapter finances between meetings so nothing is a surprise at the worst possible time.
- **Smooth transitions**: When your term ends, the next exec board inherits a clean, documented financial system – not a mystery.

## FAQ

**What can a president see in Dueflow?**

With a viewer role you see the full financial dashboard – total collected, outstanding dues, member payment rates, revenue trends, and reports – everything the treasurer sees, in real time.

**Can I see finances without being able to move money?**

Yes. Permission levels (admin, editor, viewer) mean the president and exec board can view dashboards and reports while only the treasurer controls payments.

**How does this help me hold the treasurer accountable?**

You see the same numbers the treasurer sees, with a complete audit trail of every action. There's no gap between what's reported at chapter meetings and what's actually happening.

**Does it cost the chapter anything?**

No. Dueflow is free for chapters. Members pay a small processing fee when they pay dues; the chapter pays nothing.

# Dueflow for Chapter Advisors

Last updated September 7, 2026

Dueflow pricing: $0 platform fees for chapters and nationals forever. Members pay a small processing fee per payment.

> Financial oversight and continuity for the chapters you advise – read-only visibility, audit trails, and clean records that survive every officer turnover.

## Students turn over yearly; the financial risk doesn't

As an advisor, you're responsible for financial continuity and risk management – but the students running the books turn over every year, records live in personal spreadsheets and Venmo accounts, and each transition loses history. When something goes wrong, there's often no trail to follow.

## Persistent oversight across every transition

Dueflow gives advisors read-only visibility into the chapters they advise, a complete audit trail of every financial action, and records that persist across officer turnover. You can spot problems early, support continuity, and reduce financial risk – without managing the day-to-day yourself.

## Features

- **Oversight dashboard**: See collection rates, outstanding dues, and spending for the chapters you advise – without running them.
- **Complete audit trail**: Every payment, approval, and reimbursement is logged with actor and timestamp – a real record if questions arise.
- **Continuity across turnover**: Financial history persists when officers change, so each new treasurer inherits a documented system, not a blank slate.
- **Reimbursement visibility**: Review how chapter funds are spent through receipt-backed reimbursements with a transparent approval trail.
- **Read-only advisor access**: View everything without the ability to move money – appropriate oversight without taking over chapter operations.
- **Zero cost**: Free for chapters and advisors. Members pay a small processing fee; there's nothing for the chapter to budget for.

## FAQ

**What visibility do advisors get?**

Advisors get read-only access to the chapter's financial dashboard, reports, and full audit trail – collection status, spending, and reimbursements – without the ability to modify payments.

**How does Dueflow help with officer transitions?**

Because every payment and decision is logged in one system, financial history carries over when students graduate. The next treasurer starts with complete records instead of reconstructing them.

**Does this help with financial risk management?**

Yes. A complete, timestamped audit trail and read-only oversight make it far easier to catch issues early and demonstrate proper financial controls to nationals or the university.

**Is there a cost to advise a chapter on Dueflow?**

No. Dueflow is free for chapters and advisors. Members pay a small processing fee when they make a payment.

# Pay Your Student's Fraternity or Sorority Dues

Last updated September 19, 2026

Dueflow pricing: $0 platform fees for chapters and nationals forever. Members pay a small processing fee per payment.

> A simple, secure way to pay your student's chapter dues – by bank transfer, card, or Apple Pay, or in installments. No app and no account required.

## A Venmo request is no way to pay hundreds of dollars

Parents often cover their student's chapter dues, but the 'bill' shows up as a vague Venmo request with no itemization, no receipt, and no clarity on what it's for or when it's due. Sending real money to a student's personal account with no record is stressful – and there's rarely an option to spread the cost out.

## A clear, secure payment – your way

Dueflow sends a clean payment link with the exact amount, what it covers, and the due date. You pay securely by bank transfer, card, or Apple Pay – or split it into installments – and get a receipt automatically. No app to download, no account to create.

## Features

- **Pay how you want**: Bank transfer (ACH), credit or debit card, Apple Pay, or Google Pay – choose whatever is easiest and most secure for you.
- **Payment plans**: Split a large dues bill into smaller installments instead of one lump sum, when the chapter offers it.
- **Automatic receipt**: Get an itemized receipt for every payment – clear records for you, no chasing your student for confirmation.
- **Clear due dates**: See exactly what's owed and when, so you're never surprised by a last-minute request the night before it's due.
- **No app, no account**: Pay directly from the link in your browser. There's nothing to download and no account to set up.
- **Transparent fees**: The processing fee is shown up front before you pay – no hidden charges, and you choose the method that costs the least.

## FAQ

**Can parents pay a student's chapter dues directly?**

Yes. The chapter can share the payment link with you directly, and you pay your student's dues by bank transfer, card, or Apple Pay – no need to send money through your student.

**Do I need to create an account or download an app?**

No. You pay directly from the link in your browser. There's no app to install and no account to create.

**Can I pay in installments instead of all at once?**

If the chapter has enabled payment plans, you can split the dues into smaller scheduled payments rather than paying the full amount up front.

**Is paying through Dueflow secure?**

Yes. Payments are processed through bank-level secure, PCI-compliant payment providers, and you get an itemized receipt for every payment.

**Can I pay sorority or fraternity dues with a 529 plan?**

Generally no. The IRS treats chapter dues, social fees, and national assessments as personal expenses rather than qualified higher-education expenses, so using 529 money for them is a non-qualified withdrawal: the earnings portion is taxable and usually carries a 10% additional tax. The room-and-board portion of living in a chapter house can qualify if the student is enrolled at least half-time, up to the school's published cost-of-attendance allowance for off-campus housing. Ask the chapter for an itemized bill that separates housing from dues before you withdraw, and confirm your situation with a tax professional (see IRS Publication 970). Dueflow's guide "Can You Pay Fraternity or Sorority Dues With a 529 Plan?" (linked below under related resources) walks through the IRS rules, a worked example, and the five steps to do it correctly.

**Are fraternity or sorority dues tax deductible?**

No. Most chapters are 501(c)(7) social clubs, and payments to a social club for membership are not deductible as charitable contributions. A donation to a chapter's separate 501(c)(3) educational foundation may be deductible; the receipt you receive through Dueflow shows exactly what each payment covered so you can tell the difference.

# QuickBooks Integration for Fraternity & Sorority Chapters

Last updated September 1, 2026

Dueflow pricing: $0 platform fees for chapters and nationals forever. Members pay a small processing fee per payment.

> Dueflow connects to QuickBooks Online and posts payouts as categorized deposits – dues, store sales, donations, and chapter billing split into the right income accounts, matching the bank statement to the penny.

## Chapter books don't survive spreadsheet accounting

Most chapters that keep formal books re-key Dueflow payouts into QuickBooks by hand: one lump deposit hits the bank, and the treasurer or a paid accountant reverse-engineers how much was dues, how much was merch, and what the processor took in fees. Every manual entry is a chance for the books to drift from the bank – and at officer turnover, the drift becomes the next treasurer's problem.

## Payouts arrive in QuickBooks already categorized

Connect QuickBooks Online in a single OAuth step and map your chart of accounts once – a bank account, an income account per category, and an expense account for payout fees. From then on, each Dueflow payout can be posted as a deposit with a line per income category, a negative line for fees, and a balancing line for carryover, adding up to exactly what landed in the bank.

## Features

- **One-click QuickBooks Online connect**: Authorize Dueflow from your QuickBooks company in one OAuth step. Tokens refresh in the background, and you can disconnect at any time.
- **Income split by category**: Dues, store sales, donations, and chapter billing each post to the income account you choose – revenue is classified before your accountant ever opens the file.
- **Deposits that tie to the bank**: Refunds net out, payout fees post as an expense line, and a balancing line absorbs carryover – the deposit total always equals the bank statement.
- **An auditable sync log**: Every payout shows whether it synced, when, and which QuickBooks deposit it created – with the error message when something fails.
- **Nothing posts by surprise**: You choose which payouts to sync, and Dueflow warns you when a category or fee account is unmapped instead of guessing.
- **Built on the real ledger**: Deposit lines come from the actual payments behind the payout – the same data as your dashboard and exports, not a re-keyed summary.

## FAQ

**Does Dueflow integrate with QuickBooks?**

Yes. Dueflow connects to QuickBooks Online and posts payouts as deposits with a line per income category (dues, store, donations, chapter billing), a fee expense line, and a balancing line – so the deposit matches the bank statement exactly. The integration is rolling out per organization; contact us to enable it for your chapter.

**Does the integration work with QuickBooks Desktop?**

The native sync is for QuickBooks Online. Chapters using other accounting software can export their payment data from Dueflow as CSV or Excel files instead.

**Do I need an accountant to set it up?**

No. Setup is a one-time OAuth connection plus mapping a handful of accounts. Most treasurers finish it in a few minutes, and the mapping carries over at officer turnover.

**What happens to processing fees in QuickBooks?**

Payout fees post as a negative line to the expense account you map, so income stays gross and fees are visible as their own expense – the way accountants expect.

**Does QuickBooks sync cost extra?**

No. Like the rest of Dueflow, the QuickBooks integration is free for chapters – there are no platform fees or per-member charges.

# Sorority Chapter Management App & Software

Last updated September 26, 2026

Dueflow pricing: $0 platform fees for chapters and nationals forever. Members pay a small processing fee per payment.

> Dueflow is a sorority chapter management app that runs dues billing, member records, event ticketing, reimbursements, philanthropy and merch sales, and financial reporting for the whole exec board – VP Finance, president, and advisors – at $0 to the chapter. Sisters and parents pay from their phone by ACH, card, Apple Pay, or Klarna.

## Running a 150-member sorority chapter across six apps doesn't scale

A sorority chapter with 100-200 members bills dues, new member fees, formal tickets, and philanthropy items every semester, and most chapters run that through a mix of Venmo, GroupMe, Google Sheets, and whatever platform nationals picked. Records live in different places, the VP Finance reconciles by hand, and every officer transition starts over from a spreadsheet.

## One chapter management platform for finances, members, and events

Dueflow gives a sorority chapter one place to bill sisters – by pledge class, live-in versus live-out, or the whole roster – track who has paid, approve reimbursements with receipts, sell event tickets and merch, and report to advisors and nationals. Role-based access lets the president, VP Finance, and philanthropy chair each see what they need. Officers turn over every year; the chapter's history stays in one place.

## Features

- **Dues and fee billing**: Dueflow bills dues, new member fees, and event costs to the whole chapter or a single group, with payment plans for large balances. Sisters and parents pay by ACH, card, Apple Pay, or Klarna.
- **Member management**: Dueflow keeps a member directory with roster status, payment history, contact and parent/guardian details, and admin, editor, and viewer roles for the exec board.
- **Automated reminders**: Dueflow sends email and SMS payment reminders on the chapter's schedule, so no sister has to chase another sister for money.
- **Reimbursements**: Dueflow reimbursements let sisters submit expenses with receipts; officers approve or reject each request with a full audit trail.
- **Events, philanthropy, and merch**: Dueflow's built-in store sells formal tickets, philanthropy items, and merch through shareable links and QR codes, with inventory tracking.
- **Reporting for exec, advisors, and nationals**: Dueflow dashboards show collection progress and outstanding balances in real time, with exportable reports for chapter meetings, advisors, and headquarters.
- **AI assistant**: Dueflow's AI assistant answers plain-English questions about the chapter's dues, payments, and trends.
- **Nationals oversight**: Dueflow gives national organizations cross-chapter analytics and oversight while each chapter keeps day-to-day control of its own finances.

## FAQ

**What is a sorority chapter management app?**

A sorority chapter management app is software that runs a chapter's operations – dues billing, member records, event ticketing, reimbursements, and reporting – in one place instead of Venmo, GroupMe, and spreadsheets. Dueflow is a sorority chapter management app that covers all of those at $0 to the chapter.

**How much does Dueflow cost for a sorority chapter?**

Dueflow costs the chapter $0 – no per-member fee, no subscription, no setup fee, and no contract. The member paying adds a processing fee at checkout: for ACH, $2 under $100, $10 from $100 to $399, and $15 at $400 or more; for card, $5, $10 + 3.3%, or $15 + 3.3% at the same tiers; Klarna is 6%. The chapter receives 100% of the dues amount it sets.

**Can the whole exec board use Dueflow, not just the VP Finance?**

Yes. Dueflow supports admin, editor, and viewer roles, so the president can see the financial dashboard, the philanthropy chair can manage store listings, and the VP Finance controls billing and payouts.

**Does Dueflow handle new member fees separately from active dues?**

Yes. Dueflow bills a pledge class, live-in members, live-out members, or the whole chapter as separate groups, so new member fees, active dues, and event charges each go to exactly the right sisters.

**Can parents pay a sister's dues through Dueflow?**

Yes. Dueflow gives every charge a payment link that can be shared directly with parents, who pay by ACH, card, or Apple Pay without creating an account or downloading an app.

**How does Dueflow compare to GreekTrack, OmegaFi, or Greekly for sorority chapters?**

GreekTrack, OmegaFi, and Greekly are chapter management platforms that bill the chapter for the software – GreekTrack and Greekly on quote-based annual contracts, OmegaFi at roughly $3 per member per month on chapter invoices. Dueflow covers dues, payment plans, reimbursements, store, analytics, AI, and nationals oversight at $0 to the chapter, with a side-by-side comparison for each at dueflow.co/vs.

**What if our nationals requires a specific platform?**

Dueflow supports nationals-level oversight with cross-chapter analytics and reporting, and works with chapters and headquarters to make a transition seamless. Many national organizations are moving chapters to modern platforms.

# Is It Safe to Collect Fraternity Dues Through Venmo? What Venmo's Own Terms, Fees, and Tax Rules Say

Sam Cooper | 10/19/2026

> Mostly no. Venmo's user agreement bars personal accounts from commercial payments between people who do not know each other, the compliant business profile costs the chapter 1.9% + $0.10 per payment, and dues end up in one student's name with no ledger. Here is what the terms, fees, and 1099-K rules say and when Venmo is still fine.

Mostly no, for a chapter of any size. A treasurer can collect fraternity dues through a personal Venmo account and nothing will go wrong on day one, but it is the wrong tool for the job for three concrete reasons: Venmo's own user agreement says personal accounts may not be used for business or commercial payments between people who do not personally know each other and lets Venmo reverse payments that break the rule; the money lands in one student's personal account with no roster, no receipt per member, and no record that survives the next officer transition; and the compliant alternative, a Venmo business profile, costs the chapter 1.9% + $0.10 on every payment it receives. Below is what Venmo's published terms, fee schedule, and tax rules actually say, what universities and national organizations tell chapters, and when Venmo is still fine.

## What does Venmo's user agreement say about collecting dues?

Venmo's U.S. user agreement draws a line between personal payments (money sent between people who know each other, with no goods or services behind it) and payments for goods and services. Except for transactions Venmo expressly authorizes, such as payments to a business profile or payments the sender tags as goods and services, personal accounts "may not be used to conduct business, commercial or merchant transactions with other personal accounts." The agreement also states in capitals that Venmo "should only be used to transact with people you know and trust," and that if a prohibited payment is later reversed, the recipient "could lose both the underlying goods or services and the money sent for them."

Chapter dues sit in a gray zone Venmo does not define: they are not a sale of merchandise, but they are a required payment in exchange for membership, collected from dozens of people, many of whom the treasurer only knows because of the chapter. Venmo's own answer to anyone who "plans to use your Venmo account to receive payments for goods or services" is to have the payer tag the payment as goods and services or to open a business profile. Either route turns the payment into a fee-bearing commercial transaction. The personal, fee-free path is the one the agreement says not to use for commerce.

## What does Venmo actually cost a chapter?

A personal Venmo account charges nothing to receive a bank- or balance-funded payment, which is why treasurers reach for it. The compliant route is not free. Venmo's help center lists a seller transaction fee of 1.9% + $0.10 on every payment of $1 or more received by a business profile (2.29% + $0.10 for Tap to Pay), deducted from the amount the payer sends and non-refundable. The fee is charged to the business profile, so the chapter, not the member, absorbs it.

On typical chapter numbers that adds up. A $600 semester dues payment received by a business profile loses $11.50 to the fee. A chapter of 80 members collecting $600 per member per semester runs about $96,000 a year through the account, and at 1.9% + $0.10 the business-profile fees come to roughly $1,840 a year, paid out of the chapter's own budget. For comparison, [Dueflow charges chapters $0](https://www.dueflow.co/pricing) and the member pays a flat processing fee at checkout: $2 on an ACH payment under $100, $10 from $100 to $399, and $15 at $400 and up (card payments are $5, $10 + 3.3%, and $15 + 3.3% at the same tiers). On a $600 ACH dues payment the member pays $615 and the chapter receives the full $600.

## Will the chapter or treasurer get a 1099-K from Venmo?

Only above the federal threshold, and only for payments tagged as goods and services or received by a business profile. Venmo's tax FAQ states that for the 2025 calendar year it issues Form 1099-K when goods-and-services payments exceed $20,000 and there are more than 200 separate transactions in the year; personal (friends and family) payments are excluded, and some states use lower thresholds. The IRS describes the form as a report of payments received for goods or services through payment apps and payment cards.

The practical problem is whose name is on it. A Venmo account is tied to one person's phone number and tax ID, so a chapter that crosses the threshold through a business profile puts the reporting on the treasurer, not the organization. Venmo also asks for tax information before a threshold is reached to avoid payment holds and backup withholding. A chapter that incorporates its finances properly collects into an account held in the chapter's name; see [how to open a bank account for a fraternity or sorority chapter](https://www.dueflow.co/blog/best-bank-account-for-fraternity-sorority-chapter) for what that requires.

## What do universities and national organizations say about Venmo for dues?

Campus fraternity and sorority life offices increasingly say it out loud. The University of Arizona's Fraternity & Sorority Programs FAQ tells families that most chapters use an online billing system such as Billhighway, OmegaFi, Greek Bill, or LegFi, and that "Venmo or similar platforms are not appropriate for dues collection." Student-organization treasurer manuals, such as Ohio University's, require treasurers to provide a receipt for every collection and deposit funds into the organization's own account, which a personal payment app cannot document on its own.

National organizations are moving the same direction. Phi Delta Theta now requires every chapter to use a single finance platform for banking, accounting, and dues; others invoice the chapter and leave local collection to the treasurer. Which model you are under is covered in [does your chapter have to use the dues platform nationals picked](https://www.dueflow.co/blog/does-my-chapter-have-to-use-nationals-dues-platform). Under either model, a personal Venmo account is rarely an approved method, and under a mandate it is usually prohibited outright.

## What goes wrong in practice when a chapter collects dues on Venmo?

- No roster reconciliation. Payments arrive as free-text notes ("dues," "rent lol," an emoji), and the treasurer rebuilds who owes what in a spreadsheet by hand.
- No payment plans. Venmo cannot split a $600 balance into dated installments or remind a member automatically, so partial payers are chased by text message.
- Commingled funds. Dues sit in a student's personal balance alongside their own money until someone transfers them out; if the treasurer graduates, goes abroad, or loses the phone, the chapter's cash and its history go with them.
- No audit trail. Nationals, campus offices, and an incoming treasurer need a per-member ledger with dates, amounts, and balances. Venmo exports a transaction list for one account, not a dues ledger for an organization.
- No protection. Personal payments carry no purchase protection, and a payment Venmo later reverses leaves the chapter without the money.

## When is Venmo fine, and what should a chapter use instead?

Venmo is fine for what it was built for: one brother paying another back for a tank of gas, splitting a dinner, or a small, informal, one-off reimbursement between people who know each other. It is not built to collect a required, recurring payment from an entire membership into an organization's account.

For dues, use a tool that bills the roster in the chapter's name, offers ACH so members avoid card fees, supports installments, and gives the next treasurer a complete ledger. The legacy Greek-life platforms do this for a per-member fee; [Dueflow](https://www.dueflow.co/) does it with no platform fee to the chapter, [payment plans](https://www.dueflow.co/blog/payment-plans-for-fraternity-sorority-dues), and a [choice of who covers the processing fee](https://www.dueflow.co/blog/should-members-or-chapter-pay-payment-fees). Whatever you choose, the test is the same: could you hand the account to your successor tomorrow with every member's balance intact? If the answer is a personal Venmo login, the answer is no.

# Dueflow Cards: The Only Cashback Card Built for Student Groups

Sam Cooper | 10/19/2026

> Dueflow Cards are the only card product that pays cashback directly into a group treasury. Here's how every feature works — virtual cards, spend limits, Apple Wallet, instant cancel, and up to 1% back on every purchase.

**Dueflow Cards are the only cashback card built specifically for student groups and chapters. Every purchase earns up to 1% back — paid into the group treasury, not to an individual — and every card is virtual, issued in seconds, and fully controllable by the treasurer.**

No other card product on the market does this for fraternity and sorority chapters. Here’s exactly how it works.

## What Dueflow Cards are

A Dueflow Card is a **virtual credit card** tied to a chapter’s Dueflow account. The chapter treasurer issues it from the dashboard in a matter of seconds — no waiting for plastic in the mail, no calling a bank, no paperwork. The card is created, named, assigned, and ready to spend almost immediately.

Once issued, the member it’s assigned to adds it straight to Apple Wallet and taps to pay anywhere contactless payments are accepted. From the treasurer’s side, every transaction shows up in the Dueflow dashboard in real time, already tagged to the card and the member who spent it.

## Every feature, explained

### Virtual cards, sent to Apple Wallet

Each card exists digitally. There’s no physical card to print, mail, or lose. The member receives the card details and provisions it to Apple Wallet in seconds — then it’s ready to tap at any merchant that accepts contactless payments. No waiting, no logistics.

This also means a lost phone is not a crisis. The treasurer cancels the card from the dashboard in one tap, and the number is dead instantly.

### Spend limits — set by the treasurer, enforced automatically

Every card gets a spend limit the moment it’s created. Treasurers can set limits on four different frequencies:

- Daily — the card resets each day
- Weekly — resets each week
- Monthly — resets each month
- One-time — a single fixed budget that doesn’t reset

On top of the overall limit, treasurers can also set a per-transaction cap. That means even if the monthly limit is $500, no single purchase can exceed whatever the per-transaction limit is set to. Both are enforced by the payment network automatically — the card declines if it would go over, no manual tracking required.

### Member assignment

Every card can be assigned to a specific member so the treasurer always knows who’s carrying it. Cards can also be kept organization-owned — for a shared team budget or a recurring vendor — without being tied to any individual. The assignment shows up in the transaction feed, so every charge has a name next to it.

### Instant freeze and cancel

Treasurer notices something off? Freeze the card — it stops working immediately but can be unfrozen just as fast. Event’s over and the card is no longer needed? Cancel it. The number is permanently invalidated and the card disappears from Apple Wallet. Neither action requires a call to anyone.

### Real-time transaction feed

Every purchase on every card shows up in the Dueflow Finance dashboard as it happens — the merchant, the amount, the date, the card it came from, and the member it’s assigned to. Treasurers can itemize charges against budget line items on the spot rather than reconciling a statement at the end of the month.

For chapters with nationals oversight, the same feed is visible at the national level through the Dueflow nationals dashboard at no extra cost.

## The only cashback card built for groups

This is the part that makes Dueflow Cards genuinely different.

Most card products — business credit cards, shared debit accounts, treasurer’s personal cards — either earn no rewards or earn rewards that go to an individual. A treasurer using their own Amex earns their own points. A chapter using a shared debit card earns nothing at all.

Dueflow Cards earn **up to 1% cashback on every purchase**, and it goes directly back into the chapter treasury. Not to the treasurer. Not to Dueflow. To the chapter.

The math is straightforward:

- $10,000 in annual card spend → **$100 back**
- $25,000 in annual card spend → **$250 back**
- $50,000 in annual card spend → **$500 back**

That’s on purchases the chapter was going to make anyway. Events, supplies, food, apparel, vendor payments. The cashback compounds every year the chapter is on Dueflow.

Every other card option for student groups returns $0 in rewards to the group itself. No Greek life-specific card, no shared bank account, no campus debit card offers cashback that lands in the treasury. Dueflow Cards are the only one.

## How Dueflow Cards compare to what chapters use today

### Treasurer’s personal card

Earns rewards for the treasurer personally, not the chapter. No per-member spend limits. The treasurer is personally liable for all chapter spending. And reconciliation is still manual — you’re comparing a personal card statement to a spreadsheet of what the chapter agreed to spend.

### Shared debit card or shared bank account

No rewards on debit. Weak fraud protection. And “shared” means everyone has access to the full balance. Platforms built on a shared-account model — like Switch — also require the chapter’s money to sit inside their balance before any card can be funded. Dueflow is different: dues collected go straight to the chapter’s own bank account, and cards draw from a separate funded balance that the treasurer controls.

### Business credit cards (Amex, Chase, etc.)

Not designed for student organizations. Require a business credit check, a named cardholder liable for the debt, and often a personal guarantee. Rewards go to the named account holder, not a group treasury. And issuing a card to a committee member means either adding them as a user on the business account (a compliance headache) or, again, having them front their own cash.

## Frequently asked questions

### Who can issue Dueflow Cards?

Any chapter on Dueflow. Card issuing runs on bank-grade rails, so the organization completes a short one-time verification step before the first card is issued. After that, the treasurer can create as many virtual cards as the chapter needs.

### Is there a limit on how many cards a chapter can have?

No fixed cap. Treasurers can issue cards for individual members, for committees, or for specific events — and cancel them when they’re no longer needed.

### Does cashback apply to all purchases?

Up to 1% cashback applies to purchases made on Dueflow Cards. The rate is set per chapter and paid into the treasury automatically.

### What does this cost?

Dueflow charges chapters and nationals **$0 in platform fees**. Cards are part of the same platform. The cashback means the cards actively return money to the chapter rather than adding another cost line.

### Can national headquarters see card activity?

Yes. Nationals get full visibility into card spend across chapters through the Dueflow nationals dashboard, the same way they see dues, payments, and balances. No extra setup required.

## Getting started

Dueflow Cards are available now. Chapters can issue their first virtual card from [Finance → Cards](https://www.dueflow.co/signup) in the Dueflow dashboard. If your chapter isn’t on Dueflow yet, [get started here](https://www.dueflow.co/signup) — setup takes about five minutes, and the first card can be issued the same day.

# Dueflow Cards: Virtual Chapter Cards With 1% Cashback

Santiago Schmitt | 10/18/2026

> Dueflow Cards let any chapter issue a virtual card to any member, push it to Apple Wallet, set limits, cancel anytime, and earn up to 1% cashback.

## The story behind Dueflow Cards

**Today we’re launching Dueflow Cards.** Imagine a world where your chapter earns cashback on every transaction. As of today, it can.

When I was a treasurer, every dollar the chapter spent went through the debit card on our bank account. Thousands of dollars a year on events, supplies, food and apparel, and it earned us exactly zero. That’s still true for chapters everywhere. **Bank of America, Chase, your local credit union: the chapter debit card earns nothing.**

The missing cashback wasn’t the only problem. Letting members spend was a constant headache. There was one card, so either I handed it over and hoped for the best, or members paid out of pocket and waited weeks to be reimbursed. **There was no easy way to give someone a budget and trust it would be kept.**

That’s how Dueflow started. **We’re building the tools I wished I’d had as a treasurer**, and Dueflow Cards are one of the biggest pieces yet.

**With Dueflow Cards, you can send a card to any member in seconds.** It goes straight into their Apple Wallet with the limit you’ve set, you can cap individual purchases, and you can freeze or cancel it whenever you need to. Every transaction shows up live in your dashboard, tied to the person who made it. Managing who spends what, and how much, finally becomes easy.

**And every purchase earns up to 1% cashback, paid back into your chapter’s treasury.** A chapter spending $50,000 a year gets around $500 back on money it was going to spend anyway. That’s money back to the organisation, for a philanthropy donation or one less fee to charge members.

This is a big day for us. It’s the product I’d have killed for as a treasurer, and **I think every chapter should be using it.** If your chapter isn’t earning cashback on its spending right now, it should be. [**Use Dueflow**](https://www.dueflow.co/signup).

Dueflow Cards are live now under **Finance → Cards**. And huge thanks to the team for all the hours that went into getting this right.

# Fraternity Dues Collection Statistics: Collection Rates, Payment Timing & Payment Plans (Fall 2026)

Sam Cooper | 10/4/2026

> Original benchmarks from 3,397 paid dues payments across 48 fraternity and sorority chapters: median chapter collects 93% of dues within 14 days (97% by day 45), 54% of payments arrive on time, the median late payment is 7 days late, 32% use payment plans, and card vs. ACH is a 42/40 split.

Fraternity and sorority chapters on Dueflow collect a median 93% of billed dues within two weeks of the due date and 97% within 45 days. Only 54% of individual dues payments arrive on or before the due date; the typical late payment lands 7 days after. Those are the two numbers every chapter treasurer asks us for, so this page publishes them – plus payment-plan adoption, card vs. bank mix, and when members actually pay – from anonymized, aggregate Dueflow data covering 3,397 paid dues payments by 1,838 members across 48 chapters between December 2025 and October 2026.

Updated October 4, 2026. Every figure below is an aggregate over all chapters on Dueflow; no chapter, member, or individual payment is identifiable, and store orders, donations, and voided charges are excluded. Methodology and definitions are at the bottom. You may quote any statistic on this page with attribution to Dueflow (dueflow.co).

## Key fraternity dues collection statistics (Fall 2026)

- Median chapter dues collection rate: 93% of billed dues paid within 14 days of the due date (interquartile range 84%–96%, 27 chapters with 10+ due charges).
- Collection rate 45 days after the due date: 97% median; 93% of chapters are above 90% (14 chapters with completed 45-day windows).
- Pooled collection rate across all chapters: 86% at 14 days, 94% at 45 days.
- 54% of dues payments are made on or before the due date; 46% are late.
- Of late payments, the median payment is 7 days late; 25% of all payments arrive 1–7 days late, 16% arrive 8–30 days late, and 5% arrive more than 30 days late.
- 27% of payments arrive a week or more early, 19% in the final week before the deadline, and 8% on the due date itself.
- Median time from the charge being issued to payment: 13 days.
- 32% of dues payments are made through a payment plan (installments or partial payments); every chapter with 10+ paid charges has used plans.
- Payment method mix: 42% card, 40% bank account (ACH), 1% buy-now-pay-later, 18% other or not recorded.
- Median dues charge: $650. Charges of $1,000 or more are paid on a plan 45% of the time, versus 27% for charges under $250.
- Members pay on weekdays: 89% of payments land Monday–Friday; Monday and Friday are the two biggest days, and the single busiest hour is 8–9 a.m. Eastern.
- September is the peak collection month (32% of this year's payments), followed by August (20%). June is the trough.
- Half of all currently outstanding dues charges on the platform (51%) are past their due date – the backlog every treasurer is chasing.

## What is the average dues collection rate for a fraternity chapter?

On Dueflow, the median chapter collects 93% of billed dues within two weeks of the due date and 97% within 45 days. A chapter in the bottom quartile two weeks after the deadline is still at about 84%. Pooled across every chapter (weighting large chapters more), the rate is 86% at 14 days and 94% at 45 days. In practice, a chapter that ends a semester below 90% collected has a structural problem – usually no payment plans, no automated reminders, or a deadline that doesn't match when financial aid disburses – rather than an unusually delinquent membership.

These rates count a charge as collected when it is fully paid. Charges on a payment plan that are still being paid down count as uncollected until the final installment clears, which makes the 14-day figure conservative for chapters that lean on plans.

## How long do members take to pay dues?

The median member pays 13 days after the charge is issued, and the median payment lands exactly on the due date (median of zero days early or late). But the distribution is wide: 27% of members pay a week or more early, 19% pay in the last week before the deadline, 8% pay on the day, and 46% pay late. Among late payers the median is one week late; roughly one in twenty payments arrives more than 30 days after the deadline.

The practical reading: a chapter should expect roughly half of its dues on or before deadline day and most of the rest within the following week, provided reminders keep going out. The 5% that stretch past 30 days are the payments that need a human conversation and, usually, a payment plan.

## How many members use payment plans?

32% of all dues payments are made through a payment plan – either scheduled installments or partial payments against a balance. Adoption is strongly tied to the size of the charge: 45% of charges of $1,000 or more are paid on a plan, versus 30% of $500–$999 charges and 27% of charges under $250. Every chapter with at least 10 paid charges has at least one member on a plan.

Plans trade punctuality for completion. Payments on a plan hit the original due date 49% of the time versus 57% for single payments, but the plan is what gets a $1,200 semester bill paid at all. For how to structure one, see our [guide to payment plans for fraternity and sorority dues](https://www.dueflow.co/blog/payment-plans-for-fraternity-sorority-dues).

## Do members pay dues by card or bank account?

It is almost an even split: 42% of dues payments are made by card and 40% by bank account (ACH), with 1% through buy-now-pay-later and the remainder other or not recorded. The two methods are used differently. Bank payments carry a higher median charge ($810 vs. $515 for card) and are more often late (40% on time vs. 69% for card), which is consistent with members choosing ACH for big bills they want to avoid a card fee on, and paying them when the money is actually in the account.

For treasurers, that means the on-time rate you see is partly a function of which payment methods you allow and what each one costs the member. Chapters that absorb fees or pass through a flat fee see different behavior than chapters that pass through a percentage. See [how Dueflow handles fees](https://www.dueflow.co/pricing).

## When do members actually pay?

- By day of week: 89% of payments are made Monday through Friday. Monday (20%) and Friday (19%) are the heaviest days; Saturday (5%) and Sunday (6%) are the lightest.
- By hour: the busiest hour is 8–9 a.m. Eastern, when reminders go out, followed by 10–11 a.m. and 9–10 a.m. Eastern.
- By month: September accounts for 32% of this year's dues payments and August for 20%; April is the spring peak (11%); June is the lowest month (2%).

Deadlines that fall on a weekday, with a reminder the morning of, line up with when members already pay. A Sunday-night deadline fights the data.

## Do automated reminders help?

97% of dues charges on Dueflow have automated reminders enabled, so the platform has very little 'no reminder' data to compare against: the 80 charges without automated reminders were paid on time 51% of the time versus 54% with reminders. That is a small difference on a small sample, and we report it rather than oversell it. The clearer signal is behavioral – the busiest payment hour of the day is the hour reminders are delivered.

## Early-bird discounts and late fees

7% of dues charges carry an early-bird discount deadline and 17% carry a late-fee deadline. Where an early-bird discount is offered, 45% of members hit it. Both are still minority practices; we will report on their effect on collection rates once more chapters have used them for a full cycle.

## How the numbers were calculated

- Source: anonymized, aggregate Dueflow production data, December 5, 2025 through October 4, 2026. 48 chapters, 1,838 paying members, 3,397 fully paid dues charges (2,910 with a due date).
- Excluded: store orders, donations, voided charges, and any charge without a paid timestamp. Statuses counted as outstanding: pending and partially paid.
- On time means paid on or before the due date (calendar day, UTC). Days late is paid date minus due date.
- Chapter collection rate is paid charges divided by all non-voided charges with a due date at least 14 (or 45) days ago, for chapters with at least 10 such charges. Medians and quartiles are across chapters; the pooled rate weights all charges equally.
- Payment plan means the charge had scheduled installments or more than one partial payment recorded.
- Payment method shares include the 18% of paid charges where the method was not recorded by the processor.
- Dollar figures are the charge amount set by the chapter, before fees.
- No chapter-, member-, or payment-level data is published. Figures are rounded to the nearest whole percent except where noted.

## Frequently asked questions

### What percentage of fraternity dues are paid on time?

Across 2,910 dues payments with a due date on Dueflow, 54% were paid on or before the due date. 25% were paid 1–7 days late, 16% were 8–30 days late, and 5% were more than 30 days late. The median late payment arrives 7 days after the deadline.

### What is a good dues collection rate for a sorority or fraternity?

The median Dueflow chapter collects 93% of billed dues within two weeks of the due date and 97% within 45 days, and 93% of chapters clear 90% by day 45. If your chapter is below 90% six weeks after the deadline, you are in the bottom tail and the usual fixes are payment plans, automated reminders, and aligning the deadline with financial-aid disbursement.

### What share of fraternity dues are paid by payment plan?

32% of dues payments on Dueflow are made through a payment plan. Adoption rises with the size of the bill: 45% of charges of $1,000 or more are paid on a plan, compared with 27% of charges under $250.

### What is the average fraternity dues payment?

The median dues charge on Dueflow is $650. Charges paid by bank account have a higher median ($810) than charges paid by card ($515). This is the amount billed by the chapter per charge, not annual dues, since many chapters bill per semester or in installments.

### Do fraternity members pay dues by credit card or bank transfer?

Roughly evenly: 42% of dues payments are by card and 40% by bank account (ACH), with 1% buy-now-pay-later and 18% other or not recorded. Card payments are on time 69% of the time; bank payments are on time 40% of the time.

# What Happened to GreekFlow? What Chapters Should Know

Sam Cooper | 9/30/2026

> GreekFlow's website is offline (HTTP 402, deployment disabled, as of September 30, 2026) with no public announcement. What GreekFlow was, the timeline, how to check your chapter's data and payments, and what to look for in a replacement.

GreekFlow's website is offline. As of September 30, 2026, greekflow.com and www.greekflow.com return an HTTP 402 "Payment required – DEPLOYMENT_DISABLED" error from the hosting provider, and app.greekflow.com returns a 404. We could not find a public shutdown announcement from the company, and its LinkedIn page lists one employee. If your chapter used GreekFlow or was evaluating it, here is what is known, how to check on your data and payments, and what to look for in a replacement.

## What was GreekFlow?

GreekFlow (GreekFlow LLC, greekflow.com) was a chapter-management app for fraternities and sororities that opened a public beta on February 11, 2025. Its site described one app for rosters, dues collection advertised at "0% processing fees", events, messaging, and recruitment tools such as QR-code PNM profiles, plus a planned "GreekFlow Treasury" budgeting feature announced in its January 2025 launch post and a partner for collecting unpaid dues. GreekFlow never published pricing; the site asked visitors to book a demo. In March 2026 it was featured in the NYU Stern Berkley Center 2026 Challenge Showcase.

## Did GreekFlow shut down?

GreekFlow has not published a shutdown notice that we can find, but its product is unreachable. On September 30, 2026 the marketing site returned HTTP 402 with the text "Payment required / DEPLOYMENT_DISABLED" (the error a hosting platform shows when a deployment has been disabled, typically for a lapsed account) and the app subdomain returned 404. Because the site stopped loading, Dueflow retired its [Dueflow vs GreekFlow](https://www.dueflow.co/vs) comparison page on September 28, 2026, and that address now points here. If GreekFlow comes back online or publishes a statement, we will update this post with the date and a link.

## The GreekFlow timeline

- January 1, 2024 – GreekFlow LLC's terms of service take effect (greekflow.com/terms).
- January 16, 2025 – GreekFlow announces its beta launch and the planned GreekFlow Treasury feature on its blog.
- February 11, 2025 – "GreekFlow's Public Beta is Available Now" is posted on the company LinkedIn page.
- March 2026 – GreekFlow appears in the NYU Stern Berkley Center 2026 Challenge Showcase.
- September 28, 2026 – Dueflow retires its GreekFlow comparison page after greekflow.com stops loading.
- September 30, 2026 – greekflow.com returns HTTP 402 DEPLOYMENT_DISABLED; app.greekflow.com returns 404. No public announcement found.

## What should my chapter do if it used GreekFlow?

Treat it like any vendor outage that may be permanent: secure your records first, then move payments. In order:

- Reach the company. Use the support address from your onboarding emails or invoices and ask for a roster and ledger export and a written statement of service status. Keep the reply for your records.
- Find where member payments settled. Dues collected through an app settle to your chapter's bank account through a payment processor. Pull bank statements for the current and prior term and mark every deposit that came from GreekFlow.
- Rebuild the ledger. Match those deposits to your roster so you know who paid, how much, and when. This is the list you need for your national organization's reporting and for the chapter's Form 990 or 990-N.
- Tell members where to pay next before the next due date. A gap between platforms is when dues drift into Venmo and GroupMe and stop being trackable.
- Choose a replacement that publishes its pricing and lets you export your data, so the next transition is a download rather than a reconstruction.

## What should you look for in a GreekFlow replacement?

Look for published pricing, a clear statement of who pays processing fees, roster and ledger export, and the collection features GreekFlow advertised but never priced: payment plans, automated reminders, and a treasurer view of who still owes. If your chapter reports to a national organization, ask whether nationals can see chapter finances without paying extra. If the treasurer also handles reimbursements and a merch store, prefer a platform that covers those instead of stitching three apps together.

## GreekFlow alternatives

Full disclosure: this article is published by Dueflow, a dues collection and chapter finance platform for fraternities, sororities, and other member organizations, so we are one of the alternatives. Dueflow charges chapters and national organizations $0 in platform, per-member, and setup fees; members pay the processing fee shown at checkout (ACH, card, Apple Pay, Google Pay, or Klarna), and the platform includes payment plans, automated email and SMS reminders, reimbursements, a merch store, QuickBooks sync, and free nationals oversight. The full fee table is on the [pricing page](https://www.dueflow.co/pricing).

# How Long Do Members Take to Pay Dues? 2026 Chapter Data

Sam Cooper | 9/28/2026

> About two weeks. Across 3,772 dues charges issued by 41 fraternity and sorority chapters on Dueflow, the median member pays 12.6 days after the charge goes out, only 37.9% pay on or before the due date, and 17% take longer than a month. Automated reminders, early-bird discounts, and bank-transfer autopay are what move the number.

Members take about two weeks to pay dues. Across 3,772 dues charges issued by 41 fraternity and sorority chapters on Dueflow between December 2, 2025 and September 22, 2026, the median charge was paid 12.6 days after it was issued and the mean was 21.4 days. Only 29.8% of paid charges were settled within the first week, 56.5% within two weeks, 83.0% within 30 days, and 17.0% took longer than a month. Just 37.9% of members paid on or before the due date. The full dataset, with methodology, is on the [Chapter Dues Collection Benchmarks](/research/dues-collection-benchmarks) page.

That two-week figure is the honest answer for a chapter treasurer, a club treasurer, or an association membership manager asking the same question: if the dues cycle is planned around money arriving in the first few days, it is planned around less than a third of the roster.

## How long do members take to pay dues?

The median member pays a dues charge 12.6 days after it is issued. Because a minority of members take months, the mean (21.4 days) is much higher than the median, so the median is the number to budget on. The distribution of the 2,598 paid charges in the Dueflow dataset:

- Within 3 days: 14.1% of paid charges
- Within 7 days: 29.8%
- Within 14 days: 56.5%
- Within 30 days: 83.0%
- Longer than 30 days: 17.0%

The fall 2026 cycle is tracking the same way. Between August 1 and September 22, 2026, 44 chapters issued 2,260 dues charges; the median fall payment landed 13.1 days after the charge, and 36.8% of the charges whose due date had passed were paid on time, in line with the 37.9% all-time rate.

## What share of members pay dues on time?

37.9%. Of 2,210 charges whose due date had already passed, 838 were paid on or before the deadline, 1,039 were paid late, and 333 were still unpaid at the snapshot. Among charges that were eventually paid, 55.4% arrived after the deadline, and the median late payment came in 7 days after the due date. Late is the normal case, not the exception, which is why the [enforcement guide](/blog/what-happens-when-member-doesnt-pay-dues-enforcement-guide) matters more than the due date itself.

## How does that compare with other membership organizations?

Fraternity and sorority chapters are not unusual. A Forrester study commissioned by GoCardless found that businesses collecting recurring payments wait an average of 20 to 30 days from the day a payment becomes receivable to the day it is collected, across all payment methods ([GoCardless Global Payment Timings Index](https://gocardless.com/assets/40w0m41bmydz/3OOEiCyQqMrhhlBEhk9uiR/2fbb129c1e3b1376a7ac54f3e710060e/the-global-payment-timings-index-2021-final.pdf)). Association software vendors describe the same shape for annual renewals: a cluster of early payers within days of the invoice, a second cluster right at the deadline, and a tail that needs follow-up ([Glue Up, 2026](https://www.glueup.com/blog/membership-dues-management-crm)). Dueflow's 12.6-day median sits inside that range, and the 17% tail past 30 days is the group every treasurer already knows by name.

## What makes members pay dues faster?

Four things move the number in the Dueflow data, and none of them is a sterner group-chat message.

### Automated reminders

Charges with at least one automated reminder were paid at 70.8%, against 19.4% for charges with none. Reminders are the single largest effect in the dataset. Association guidance lands in the same place: a 60/30/7-day cadence before the deadline keeps the bill in front of the member without a treasurer typing anything ([Glue Up](https://www.glueup.com/blog/improve-membership-dues-collection)).

### Early-bird discounts

Charges carrying an early-bird discount were paid on time 58.8% of the time, versus 37.9% overall. A modest discount for paying in the first week pulls the payment curve left more reliably than a penalty pushes it.

### Late fees, used carefully

Charges carrying a late fee were paid on time only 31.8% of the time, below the 37.9% baseline. That is selection, not causation: treasurers attach late fees to the members and charges they already expect trouble from. Late fees are a backstop for the tail, not a lever for the median.

### Bank transfer and autopay

Members split almost evenly between ACH bank transfer (50.4%) and card (48.3%) when both are offered. Bank-first autopay removes the decision point entirely; the payment happens on the due date without a reminder. Where a charge is large, a [payment plan](/blog/payment-plans-for-fraternity-sorority-dues) does the same job: only 1.9% of fully paid charges were split into installments, but the ones that were split were much larger, a median $1,140 versus $700.

## How should a treasurer plan a dues cycle around a 12.6-day median?

1. Issue dues charges at least three weeks before the money is needed, so the median payer (day 13) and most of the 30-day group (83%) have paid before the first big vendor bill.
2. Turn on automated reminders before the due date, not after it; the 70.8% versus 19.4% gap is the largest effect in the data.
3. Offer a small early-bird discount for the first week and publish it with the charge.
4. Offer ACH alongside card and let members enable autopay, so the due date collects itself.
5. Treat the 17% who take longer than a month as a known group: split the charge into a payment plan early rather than stacking late fees on it.
6. Re-check your own numbers against the [benchmarks](/research/dues-collection-benchmarks) each semester; the page is updated as the dataset grows.

## How was this measured?

Figures are aggregate and anonymized from 3,772 dues charges issued by 41 chapters on Dueflow between December 2, 2025 and September 22, 2026 (2,598 paid in full at the snapshot; 2,210 past due date). Days to pay is measured from the charge issue date to the payment date. On-time means paid on or before the due date. No individual chapter or member is identifiable, and chapters with fewer than five charges are excluded. Definitions, the full tables, and the September 22, 2026 addendum on payment plans and off-platform payments are on the [Chapter Dues Collection Benchmarks](/research/dues-collection-benchmarks) page; a treasurer's playbook for the follow-up itself is in [How to Get Members to Pay Dues](/blog/how-to-get-members-to-pay-dues).

# How Do Sororities Handle Members Who Can't Afford Dues? Payment Plans, Hardship Policies, and Grants (2026 Guide)

Sam Cooper | 9/24/2026

> Mostly at the chapter level. Sororities and fraternities handle members who can't afford dues with installment payment plans, private hardship conversations with the treasurer, chapter or Panhellenic dues scholarships, status changes (inactive, early alumna), and university fee waivers. National foundation member-assistance grants at Chi Omega, Alpha Chi Omega, and Phi Mu exclude dues by rule, and some organizations have no hardship mechanism at all. What each published policy says, plus how often chapters on Dueflow void or split charges.

Mostly at the chapter level, and mostly with time rather than money. When a member cannot afford dues, sororities and fraternities handle it in five ways: (1) an installment payment plan that spreads the semester bill over several months, (2) a private hardship conversation with the treasurer or finance chair that can push a due date, reduce a fee, or waive a late charge, (3) a chapter or Panhellenic dues scholarship funded by alumnae or the council, (4) a status change such as inactive or early-alumna status that lowers the bill, and (5) a university fee waiver for the campus Greek-life fee. Two things are less obvious. National foundation "member assistance" grants at Chi Omega, Alpha Chi Omega, and Phi Mu are real, but each one excludes dues by rule. And some organizations, Sigma Gamma Rho among them, say plainly that they have no formal mechanism to waive or subsidize dues. This guide quotes the published policies, shows how often chapters actually cancel or split charges, and gives treasurers a process that protects both the member and the budget.

It is written by Dueflow, a dues-collection platform for chapters, from public policy documents and from anonymized, aggregate data on Dueflow. It is general information, not legal or financial advice; the rules of your own organization control.

## How do sororities handle members who cannot afford dues?

The first answer is almost always a payment plan, and the second is a conversation. Dues are set by the chapter budget, so a chapter cannot simply forgive one member's share without the other members covering it. What a chapter can do is change the timing (installments, a later due date), change the status (a member who goes inactive or takes early-alumna status usually owes national fees but not the full chapter operating bill), or find outside money (a scholarship or a waiver). The University of Delaware's Panhellenic financial-transparency forms show the standard shape: one chapter's Spring 2025 form offers "one-time payment or 3 installments to pay dues each semester" and adds that a member "financially struggling due to an extreme circumstance" can "schedule a meeting with the president and personnel chair to discuss a more efficient plan." Kansas State's 2024-2025 transparency sheet asks every chapter two yes/no questions, "Does your chapter provide payment plan options?" and "Does your chapter provide any student scholarships?"; all 13 chapters that answered say yes to payment plans and 13 of 14 say yes to scholarships. Plan plus conversation, sometimes plus a scholarship, is the chapter hardship policy.

Here is how the five mechanisms compare, from the most common to the least.

### 1. Installment payment plans

Most chapters let members split a semester's dues into two to four payments, either informally through the treasurer or automatically through the chapter's dues platform. A plan does not lower what is owed; it changes when it is owed, which is enough for the member whose problem is a $900 bill on move-in week rather than $900 across four months. Chapters that bill members through a national headquarters platform may not control this: when Phi Kappa Tau returned to chapter billing for Fall 2026, its Executive Offices said chapters "again have full flexibility to offer local payment plans, scholarships, or need-based adjustments," which individual billing through headquarters had not allowed. See [how payment plans for fraternity and sorority dues work](https://www.dueflow.co/blog/payment-plans-for-fraternity-sorority-dues) for the mechanics.

### 2. A private hardship conversation with the treasurer

Nearly every chapter's bylaws or financial policy allows an officer to adjust a member's account for hardship: waive a late fee, extend a deadline, put a charge on hold, or in rare cases void it. The process is usually a short written request to the treasurer or finance chair, reviewed with one other executive officer, and kept confidential. Sigma Gamma Rho, which has no national mechanism, still tells members to "contact their chapter leadership to discuss possible local chapter support options or payment timing considerations" and to "review chapter-level assistance initiatives, if available."

### 3. Chapter and Panhellenic dues scholarships

Some chapters and councils fund need-based dues scholarships directly. At Northeastern University, Panhellenic established three scholarships in fall 2024 after a member who "had to get a job to even join" proposed them: a half-dues scholarship, a first-generation scholarship, and a low-income scholarship for members whose family income qualifies them for student aid. Chapter-level funds are typically paid for by alumnae gifts or a small line in the chapter budget and are awarded privately. If your chapter has none, this is the mechanism most worth building; the [chapter budget guide](https://www.dueflow.co/blog/create-chapter-budget-complete-guide) covers where the line fits.

### 4. Status changes: inactive, early alumna, or non-meal-plan

Many organizations allow a member in good standing to petition for inactive status (usually for a defined reason such as finances, study abroad, or health) or, in a final year, early-alumna status. The member keeps her membership but owes a reduced bill, often only national dues and insurance. Live-in members can sometimes drop to a non-meal-plan or out-of-house arrangement; even OmegaFi's advice to chapters suggests "offering a non-meal-plan option to sisters who may not otherwise be able to swing dues payments." The rules differ by organization, and inactive terms often count against the total allowed, so read the national bylaws before petitioning.

### 5. University fee waivers

Campus Greek-life offices increasingly charge a per-member fee that appears on the student account, separate from chapter dues. Those fees usually come with a waiver. The University of Kansas charges every sorority and fraternity member a $25 Sorority and Fraternity Life fee each fall and spring and says that "members facing financial hardship or have other specific, extenuating circumstances" may "submit a request for a SFL Fee Waiver." A waiver like this covers the university's fee only, not the chapter's dues, but it is the one hardship mechanism that is handled entirely outside the chapter.

## Can a national sorority foundation pay a member's dues?

Usually not. The three largest published member-assistance programs all exclude dues:

- Chi Omega's Helping Hands Fund for Undergraduate Support gives a one-time grant "for basic necessities which may include room and board, tuition and fees, educational supplies and medical expenses," and the fund's own page states that "Chi Omega dues are excluded from basic necessities." The stated purpose is to relieve the other costs that "may present barriers to membership or hardships in maintaining membership." ([source](https://www.chiomega.com/the-helping-hands-fund-for-undergraduate-support))
- Alpha Chi Omega's member assistance grants, typically $500 to $2,000 and awarded first-come, first-served until the year's budget is spent, "cannot be used to pay dues and fees associated with Alpha Chi Omega membership." They are for members "facing extreme financial difficulties in meeting their basic needs of life." ([source](https://www.alphachiomega.org/foundation/giving-opportunities/special-funds/member-assistance-grants))
- Phi Mu Foundation's Leona Hughes Hughes Heart and Hand Fund and Betty Nell Wilkinson Emergency Fund cover basic necessities or educational expenses for members in distress; "Phi Mu fees, dues and obligations, including House Corporation expenses are not eligible." Applicants must be in good standing and initiated for at least one year. ([source](https://phimufoundation.org/our-purpose/member-assistance/))

The logic is consistent: a foundation grant pays for rent, food, tuition, or medical bills so that the member's own money can go to dues, but the foundation does not pay the sorority itself. Membership-fee scholarships that do pay the organization exist mainly in honor societies; Alpha Phi Sigma, for example, lets a chapter advisor apply for up to two need-based membership-fee scholarships per year, with an explanatory hardship letter, and the scholarship "applies only to Alpha Phi Sigma membership fee."

## What if the organization has no hardship policy at all?

Say so, and go local. Sigma Gamma Rho's member help center is unusually direct: "The organization does not have a formal mechanism to waive or subsidize membership dues due to financial hardship," and its disaster-relief fund is "very limited" and does not guarantee funds. Members are told to talk to chapter leadership about payment timing, to look for chapter-level assistance, and to "plan ahead for renewal periods when possible." In practice that means the chapter treasurer is the hardship policy, which is why the process in the next section matters even when nationals offers nothing.

## How often do chapters actually cancel or split a dues charge?

More often than most treasurers expect. Across every non-voided and voided dues charge issued on Dueflow between December 2, 2025 and September 24, 2026 (5,142 charges across 54 chapters and 2,486 members):

- 12.6% of dues charges issued were later voided by the treasurer (648 of 5,142). Voiding covers corrections and duplicates as well as hardship waivers, so this is an upper bound on waivers, but it shows that cancelling a charge is a routine treasurer action, not an exception.
- 39 of 54 chapters (72%) voided at least one dues charge in that period.
- 5.8% of dues charges that were still open on September 24, 2026 had been partially paid (82 of 1,424), meaning the member had made at least one installment and still owed a balance.
- 69 fully paid dues charges were settled in two or more separate installments, and treasurers recorded 259 dues payments as received off-platform by Zelle, Venmo, check, or cash, which is how many informal hardship arrangements show up in the books.

Numbers are aggregate and anonymized. No chapter, member, or individual payment is identified. Store orders, donations, and subscriptions are excluded so the figures describe dues only. The full benchmark set is on the [dues collection benchmarks page](https://www.dueflow.co/research/dues-collection-benchmarks).

## How should a treasurer handle a member who cannot pay dues?

A six-step process that most chapter finance policies already permit:

1. Publish the policy before recruitment. State in writing what payment plans exist, how to request a hardship adjustment, and who reviews it. Panhellenic financial-transparency forms at Delaware and Kansas State ask chapters to disclose exactly this to potential new members.
2. Ask early and privately. Send the request form (a short private form works) with the first bill, and tell members the treasurer and one other officer are the only readers.
3. Offer time first. Move the member to an installment plan or extend the due date before touching the amount. On Dueflow, this is a payment plan or a due-date change on the existing charge; no new charge is needed.
4. Then adjust the amount. Waive the late fee, apply a chapter scholarship as a credit against the charge, or, for a member changing to inactive or early-alumna status, void the chapter portion and re-issue the national-fees-only amount.
5. Point to outside money. University fee waiver for the campus Greek fee; foundation grants for rent, food, or medical bills so the member's own funds can cover dues; campus emergency funds.
6. Record it. Every waiver, credit, and voided charge should carry a note and the approving officer, so the next treasurer and the chapter's advisor can see why the budget line came in short.

Dueflow supports this workflow: [payment plans](https://www.dueflow.co/blog/payment-plans-for-fraternity-sorority-dues), due-date changes, treasurer-granted member credits that auto-apply to charges, voiding with a required note, and off-platform payment logging. A treasurer who wants to see how it looks can use the [payment plan generator](https://www.dueflow.co/tools/payment-plan-generator).

## What should a member do if she cannot afford her sorority dues?

1. Read the chapter's financial policy and the national bylaws for payment plans, hardship adjustments, and inactive or early-alumna status.
2. Tell the treasurer before the due date, in writing. Late fees and collections are much harder to reverse than a plan agreed in advance.
3. Ask specifically about a payment plan, a chapter or Panhellenic scholarship, and whether the late fee can be waived.
4. Check the campus Greek-life office for a fee waiver on the university's own Greek fee and for emergency student funds.
5. If the hardship is about rent, food, or medical costs rather than dues alone, apply to the national foundation's member-assistance fund; it will not pay the dues, but it can free up the money that does.
6. If none of that closes the gap, ask about inactive status rather than letting the account go delinquent. Delinquency can cost membership; inactive status usually preserves it.

## Frequently asked questions

### Can a sorority kick you out for not paying dues?

Yes, eventually. Most national bylaws make financial good standing a condition of membership, and a chapter can suspend privileges, refer the account to headquarters, or move to expel a member who is delinquent and unresponsive. Chapters almost always prefer a plan or a status change to expulsion, which is why telling the treasurer early matters. Dueflow's [guide to what happens when a member does not pay dues](https://www.dueflow.co/blog/what-happens-when-member-doesnt-pay-dues-enforcement-guide) walks through the usual escalation.

### Do fraternities handle it differently from sororities?

The mechanisms are the same: payment plans, treasurer discretion, chapter scholarships, and inactive status. The difference is usually who controls billing. Fraternities whose headquarters bill each member directly through a national platform have less local room for plans and adjustments; chapters that receive one consolidated invoice per term and collect locally have the most. [Does your chapter have to use the platform nationals picked?](https://www.dueflow.co/blog/does-my-chapter-have-to-use-nationals-dues-platform) explains the three billing models.

### Can financial aid or a 529 plan pay sorority dues?

Financial aid sometimes covers a university-charged Greek-life fee, depending on the aid's restrictions, but chapter dues are a personal expense. A 529 plan cannot pay dues without tax and a 10% penalty on the earnings portion, although rent and a meal plan at a chapter house can qualify as room and board. See [can you pay fraternity or sorority dues with a 529 plan](https://www.dueflow.co/blog/can-you-pay-fraternity-sorority-dues-with-529-plan).

### Does a payment plan cost the chapter money?

Not in dues collected; the chapter still receives the full amount, later. The cost is cash-flow timing and, on some platforms, per-transaction processing fees on each installment. The [dues collection benchmarks](https://www.dueflow.co/research/dues-collection-benchmarks) show how installment and off-platform payments behave in practice.

# Does Your Chapter Have to Use the Dues Platform Nationals Picked? What 2026 Fraternity Billing Policies Say

Sam Cooper | 9/23/2026

> Sometimes. Phi Delta Theta now requires every chapter to use Unified Finance as its sole dues and banking platform (exemptions reviewed yearly). Phi Kappa Tau returned to chapter billing for Fall 2026 and lets chapters collect locally by any method. Delta Upsilon encourages re:Members but does not require it. What each published 2026 policy says, how to tell which billing model you are under, and what a treasurer still decides.

Sometimes. Whether your chapter has to use the dues platform your national headquarters picked depends on which of three billing models your organization runs, and in 2026 the answers point in opposite directions. Phi Delta Theta now requires every chapter to use one platform (re:Members Unified Finance, formerly Billhighway) as its sole tool for banking, accounting, and dues collection, with exemptions reviewed once a year. Phi Kappa Tau went the other way for Fall 2026: headquarters invoices the chapter, and the chapter collects from members locally "using whatever method works best." Delta Upsilon sits in the middle, with a partner platform that chapters are encouraged, but not required, to use. Below is what each published policy actually says, how to tell which model you are under, and what a treasurer can still decide.

The short version: if headquarters bills each member individually through its own platform, you use that platform for national dues and usually for chapter dues too. If headquarters bills the chapter one consolidated invoice per term, the chapter owns local collection and can pick any tool, including a platform HQ has a partnership with, a different one, or none. Check your organization's most recent fee schedule or billing policy for the word "required"; if it is not there, the choice is yours.

## Why are national fraternities changing how dues are billed in 2026?

Two things happened at once. In January 2026 the IRS issued new procedures for nonprofit group exemptions, the first major rewrite in more than forty-five years. A fraternity's group exemption is what lets each chapter hold tax-exempt status without filing its own application, so headquarters now have a stronger reason to see every chapter's books. At the same time, banks in the United States and Canada have grown reluctant to open and keep accounts for unincorporated nonprofits like chapters. Phi Delta Theta cites both as the reason for its mandate, and the same pressures are behind the accounting, tax-filing, and banking features every Greek-life finance vendor added this year.

The billing model is the other variable. Some headquarters invoice every member directly and let the platform remit the national share; others invoice the chapter once per term and leave collection to the treasurer. Phi Kappa Tau tried individual billing in Fall 2025 and reversed it a year later after chapter feedback, which is why the same fraternity can look mandatory one year and hands-off the next.

## Which national fraternities require a specific dues platform?

### Phi Delta Theta: Unified Finance is required

Phi Delta Theta is the clearest 2026 example of a hard mandate. Its undergraduate FAQ answers "Is this required?" with: "Yes. A General Council policy requires every chapter to use Unified Finance as its sole software for financial management, banking and payments, accounting, and dues collection. Exemptions to this policy will be reviewed by General Headquarters by June 30 each year." Chapters must complete sign-up by the end of the 2026-27 academic year; early sign-ups opened in mid-August 2026 and chapters are transitioning on a rolling basis. Phi Delta Theta describes the move as expanding its re:Members partnership: Unified Finance is re:Members' rebranded Billhighway product, accessed through myPhiDelt, and about 85% of Phi Delt chapters were already on greekbill (re:Members Choice Finance) and get a provider-managed migration. The chapter accreditation guide reinforces it: points are awarded for using Unified Finance/Greekbill or holding an approved exemption.

What that means for a Phi Delt treasurer: unless your chapter has an approved exemption, you cannot run chapter dues on a different platform, and the exemption request goes to General Headquarters (chapteraccounting@phideltatheta.org) on an annual cycle. Dueflow is not an option for a Phi Delt chapter under this policy, and we would rather say that plainly than have you find out from your chapter support coordinator.

## Which national fraternities let chapters choose their own dues platform?

### Phi Kappa Tau: back to chapter billing for Fall 2026

Phi Kappa Tau is the mirror image. After a year of billing members individually through GreekBill, the Executive Offices announced that "based on your feedback, Phi Kappa Tau is returning to chapter billing for Fall 2026, giving your chapter full control over local collection." National dues and fees are now one consolidated invoice per chapter per term through the Phi Tau Portal (ChapterSpot), due September 15 for fall, and "your chapter is then responsible for collecting reimbursement from individual members locally, using whatever method works best for your brothers." Chapters "again have full flexibility to offer local payment plans, scholarships, or need-based adjustments," which individual billing did not allow.

GreekBill is still encouraged for local collection under the fraternity's partnership, and members can pay old individual balances there through November 1, 2026. But it is a chapter-level choice. Any individual balance still unpaid on November 15 rolls up to the chapter's national account with a Net-30 window, at which point collecting it "becomes the chapter's responsibility, the same as any other local dues collection."

### Delta Upsilon: a partner platform, encouraged but not required

Delta Upsilon announced a partnership with re:Members Financials (formerly greekbill) in fall 2024 and wrote the policy into the announcement: "While chapters are not required to utilize re:Members Financials, they are encouraged to." Chapters that use it pay a per-member fee, and the International Fraternity offered to cover two months of that fee for chapters that signed on by the end of 2024-25. The platform syncs the chapter roster with the DU Portal, which is the practical reason many DU chapters adopt it, but a chapter that prefers another tool for local dues is within policy.

### Tau Kappa Epsilon and Tau Epsilon Phi: HQ bills through its own portal, chapter collects locally

Tau Kappa Epsilon's 2026-27 fee structure routes candidate and initiation fees through MyTKE.org and puts annual membership fees, the risk management fee, and the chapter assessment fee on the chapter statement, with early-pay incentives (for example, paying the full year by October 1 saves $31 per man versus the two-installment rate). The chapter still has to collect its own dues and the national share from members however it sees fit. Tau Epsilon Phi's spring 2026 policy is similar at a smaller scale: rosters go through GreekTrack, national dues of $350 per member per semester are invoiced to the chapter, and headquarters asks to be paid by check or Zelle to avoid card fees. Neither policy names a required platform for the chapter's own dues.

## How do I find out which model my chapter is under?

Read three documents, in this order:

- The current fee schedule or billing policy (usually a PDF on the headquarters site titled "Fee Structure," "Schedule of Dues," or "Roster and Billing Policies"). Look for whether HQ invoices "each member" or "the chapter," and for the words "required" or "sole."
- Any platform announcement or FAQ from the last two years. Phi Delt, Phi Kappa Tau, and DU all published a plain-language FAQ when they changed models, and the policy language is in the FAQ rather than the bylaws.
- The chapter accreditation or standards rubric. Even where a platform is not mandatory, accreditation points for using it (as in Phi Delt's rubric) tell you how strongly HQ wants you on it.

If you still cannot tell, ask your chapter support coordinator or consultant one question: "Does headquarters invoice members individually, or does it invoice the chapter?" That answer determines everything else.

## What can a chapter treasurer still decide?

Under chapter billing, almost everything about local collection is yours: the platform, whether dues are paid online or off-platform, [payment plans](https://www.dueflow.co/glossary/payment-plan), early-bird and late pricing, and who absorbs processing fees. National dues still have to reach headquarters by its deadline, so the practical job is to bill members early enough that the national share is in the chapter account before the HQ due date. Our [dues collection benchmarks](https://www.dueflow.co/research/dues-collection-benchmarks) show why that margin matters: across 4,347 dues charges on Dueflow, the median member pays about 13 days after the charge is issued and only about 38% pay on or before the due date, so a chapter that bills on the HQ deadline will remit late.

Under individual billing on a mandated platform, the treasurer's decisions shrink to what that platform allows: which fees appear on the member invoice, whether HQ's platform supports payment plans at the chapter level (one of the flexibilities Phi Kappa Tau cited when it reversed course), and how to reconcile members who pay by Zelle or check outside it. Even mandated chapters keep some off-platform activity to reconcile; on Dueflow, 45% of chapters that collected a dues payment since December 2025 recorded at least one Zelle, Venmo, check, or cash payment.

## Does my chapter have to use GreekBill or re:Members?

Only if your headquarters says so in writing. Greekbill and re:Members (one company: greekbill is now re:Members Choice Finance and Billhighway is re:Members Unified Finance) hold partnerships with many national organizations, but a partnership is not a mandate. Delta Upsilon's and Phi Kappa Tau's policies both say "encouraged," and Phi Delta Theta's says "required." If yours says encouraged, compare on cost and fit: our [Dueflow vs Greekbill](https://www.dueflow.co/vs/greekbill) and [Dueflow vs re:Members](https://www.dueflow.co/vs/remembers) pages lay out the published fees and feature differences, and [how much fraternity national dues cost](https://www.dueflow.co/blog/how-much-are-fraternity-national-dues) covers the national share you will be collecting on top of chapter dues.

# How Much Are Fraternity National Dues? 2026-27 Fee Schedules From 9 Headquarters

Sam Cooper | 9/20/2026

> Fraternity national dues run about $100 to $220 per member per year at the headquarters that publish them (median $195), and $415 to $491 once liability insurance and assessments are added. Joining costs another $265 to $480 one-time. Published 2025-27 fee schedules from TKE, Beta, ZBT, DU, Pi Kappa Phi, Phi Kappa Sigma, Delta Chi, KA, and Alpha Delta Phi, with sources.

Fraternity national dues run about $100 to $220 per member per year at the nine headquarters that publish a fee schedule, with a median of roughly $195. That number is only the dues line. Once the national liability-insurance or risk-management fee and the smaller assessments are added, the total a chapter remits to headquarters for one initiated member is $415 to $491 a year (Beta Theta Pi $415, Kappa Alpha Order $425, Tau Kappa Epsilon $450, Pi Kappa Phi $471, Zeta Beta Tau $491.33 for 2026-27). Joining adds a one-time new-member fee plus an initiation fee of $265 to $480 combined, before insurance.

National dues are separate from chapter dues. The chapter collects both from the member on one bill and remits the national share by headquarters' deadline, usually October 1 and a date in late January or February. Below are the published 2025-26 and 2026-27 figures, organization by organization, with links to each source. This page is written by Dueflow, a dues-collection platform for chapters, and every number comes from the fraternity's own document.

## What are fraternity national dues?

[National dues](https://www.dueflow.co/glossary/national-dues) are the per-member fee an inter/national fraternity or sorority charges its chapters each year to fund headquarters staff, leadership programs, chapter services, expansion, and the magazine. Headquarters invoices the chapter, not the individual, based on the roster the chapter reports. The chapter treasurer then bills each member and forwards the money.

Most headquarters bill three kinds of per-member charges, and the names vary by organization:

- Annual membership dues (also called the National Active Fee, Annual Membership Fee, or Student Membership Fee), billed once a year or once per term.
- Liability insurance or risk-management assessment, billed per initiated member each year and often larger than the dues themselves.
- One-time joining fees: a new-member (candidate, associate, pledge, induction) fee at bid acceptance, and an initiation fee that covers the badge, certificate, and lifetime membership.

Some organizations add small line items such as a foundation contribution, a housing fund, a bonding fee, a software fee, or a per-chapter convention assessment. Chapter dues, house fees, parlor fees, social budgets, and council dues are all local and sit on top of everything below.

## Published national fee schedules, fraternity by fraternity

Figures are per member in US dollars, taken from each headquarters' current published fee schedule on September 20, 2026. Fiscal years differ, so each entry states which year it covers. Insurance and risk-management fees are listed separately from dues where the source separates them.

## What the schedules add up to

- Dues line only: $104 (ZBT) to $220 (Delta Upsilon, two $110 roster billings) per member per year; median about $195.
- Dues plus insurance or risk fee: $415 to $491 per member per year at the five headquarters that publish both.
- One-time joining cost (new-member fee plus initiation fee): $265 (Pi Kappa Phi) to $480 (Beta Theta Pi), before any insurance billed in the first term.
- Per-chapter assessments on top of per-member fees: $780 (TKE) to $2,250 (Delta Upsilon) a year where published.

## How much do national dues go up each year?

Three of the organizations above publish two consecutive years, which makes the increase visible. Beta Theta Pi's total annual fees rose from $402 to $415 (3.2%). Zeta Beta Tau's returning-brother total rose from $473.00 to $491.33 (3.9%). Delta Chi's membership dues rose from $185 to $195 (5.4%) and its associate fee from $125 to $135. Phi Kappa Sigma's stated four-year cost rose from $1,076.77 to $1,122.57 (4.3%), and its schedule notes the increase is capped by its constitution and by the average of comparable fraternities. A treasurer building next year's budget should plan on 3% to 5% more per member than this year's headquarters invoice.

## Why sorority national dues are harder to find

National Panhellenic Conference sororities generally do not post a public fee schedule. Their national fees appear instead on campus-level financial transparency forms. The University of Delaware Panhellenic Council's spring 2025 form for Sigma Kappa, for example, lists an inter/national fee of $117.00 in the new-member term and $51.00 per semester for active members, alongside a $272.00 badge and initiation fee, inside all-in term totals of $1,073.50 for new members and $687.00 to $762.00 for actives ([source](https://www.udelpanhellenic.com/_files/ugd/d56a29_52e8bc59ae894d4dba96e23e08083280.pdf)). If you are pricing a sorority, ask the chapter for its financial transparency form or check the campus Panhellenic site.

## How national fees show up on a member's bill

Headquarters bills the chapter, so a member never sees the national invoice. What the member sees is a chapter bill that bundles national dues, insurance, chapter dues, and any house or social fees into one amount, often without labels. Two things follow from the schedules above.

First, the timing is fixed and the penalties are per head. TKE's Annual Membership Fee is due October 1, Delta Chi bills October 15 and February 15, Beta splits its $415 into two $207.50 terms, and Delta Upsilon charges $10 to $20 per man when a chapter pays late. A chapter that gives members until Thanksgiving to pay fall dues is floating headquarters' money for two months or eating the late fees.

Second, itemizing pays. When national dues, insurance, and chapter dues are separate charges on the member's bill, a parent can see that $450 of a $1,400 semester is a pass-through set by headquarters, and the treasurer can put the national portion on a shorter due date than the local portion. On Dueflow, treasurers create each fee as its own charge, put the national share due before the headquarters deadline, and let members split the rest into a [payment plan](https://www.dueflow.co/blog/payment-plans-for-fraternity-sorority-dues) on autopay. Chapters pay $0 for the platform; the member covers processing at checkout. See [how dues collection works](https://www.dueflow.co/product/dues-collection) or run your numbers in the [payment plan generator](https://www.dueflow.co/tools/payment-plan-generator).

## How to budget for national fees as a treasurer

1. Download this year's fee schedule from headquarters and list every per-member and per-chapter line, with its due date.
2. Multiply per-member lines by your projected fall and spring rosters, including expected new members, and add per-chapter assessments.
3. Set the national portion of member dues to come due at least two weeks before the headquarters deadline, so late members do not create a chapter late fee.
4. Add 3% to 5% to next year's projection if headquarters has not published the new schedule yet.
5. Show the national line separately on the member bill and in the [chapter budget](https://www.dueflow.co/blog/create-chapter-budget-complete-guide) so members and parents can see what the chapter controls and what it does not.

## Common questions about national dues

### Are national dues the same as chapter dues?

No. National dues are set by headquarters and are the same for every chapter of that fraternity. Chapter dues are set by the chapter to cover its own budget and vary by campus. The member pays both on one bill.

### Does the national fee include insurance?

Usually not in the dues line, but the insurance or risk-management fee is a separate national charge on the same invoice, and at most of the organizations above it is as large as or larger than the dues: $191 at Beta, $234.46 at ZBT, $235 at TKE and KA, $300 at Pi Kappa Phi.

### Can national dues be paid from a 529 plan?

No. Dues, insurance, and initiation fees are personal expenses, not qualified education expenses. Only chapter-house rent and a meal plan can qualify as room and board. See [Can you pay fraternity or sorority dues with a 529 plan?](https://www.dueflow.co/blog/can-you-pay-fraternity-sorority-dues-with-529-plan).

### What happens if the chapter pays headquarters late?

The schedules above publish per-man late fees ($10 to $50) and higher fee tiers for late new-member and initiation payments, and unpaid balances can hold up initiation materials or chapter standing. That is why chapters enforce their own due dates on members; the [enforcement guide](https://www.dueflow.co/blog/what-happens-when-member-doesnt-pay-dues-enforcement-guide) covers what works.

### Do national dues vary by chapter size?

Per-member fees do not, but per-chapter assessments (TKE's $780, Delta Chi's $1,250, Delta Upsilon's $2,250) cost a 30-member chapter far more per head than a 120-member chapter. Small chapters should budget those as a fixed cost, not a per-member one.

# Dueflow Announces Integration with Fraternity Matters

Santiago Schmitt | 9/14/2026

> Dueflow is integrating with Fraternity Matters, pairing its dues, housing, and financial management platform with the Fraternal Protection Program for Greek organizations.

Dueflow, the financial platform built for fraternities and sororities, today announced an integration with Fraternity Matters, which connects Greek organizations with vetted technology and service partners.

The partnership makes Dueflow available directly through Fraternity Matters, giving chapters, house corporations, and national organizations an easier way to collect dues, manage housing and payments, and see their finances clearly. Alongside it, organizations can tap into Fraternity Matters' Fraternal Protection Program, which focuses on risk management, property protection, and new revenue.

## What Dueflow does

Dueflow handles the money side of running a chapter. It collects dues across ACH, cards, Apple Pay, and Klarna; sends payment reminders automatically; tracks reimbursements; and gives officers and nationals a real-time view of chapter finances — all in one place. It's built so the books don't fall apart every time chapter officers change hands.

## Housing, handled

For house corporations, Dueflow does the same for the housing side. It automates rent collection and reminders, handles lease and contract signing, and manages billing for everything from parlor fees to damage assessments and insurance. Instead of volunteers running a chapter house off spreadsheets and group texts, house corps get a clean ledger and know exactly who owes what.

> “Fraternity Matters is about connecting organizations with tools that solve real problems. Dueflow does exactly that for the hardest parts of running a chapter — the money and the housing. It takes work off volunteers and student leaders and makes the finances transparent.” — Bryan Hanson, Fraternity Matters

## Financial management meets protection

The Fraternal Protection Program rounds out the financial side by helping organizations manage risk, protect their property, and open up new revenue. Together, the two cover a lot of what keeps fraternal leaders up at night: money, housing, risk, and continuity.

> “Financial management, housing, and protecting the organization are some of the biggest responsibilities fraternal leaders carry. Our job is to make all of it easier. Dueflow and the Fraternal Protection Program fit that perfectly.” — Bryan Hanson, Fraternity Matters

For chapters and house corps, the integration means less time chasing payments and reconciling spreadsheets, and more confidence that the numbers are right. For nationals, it means real visibility into how chapters are doing financially — without waiting for a year-end scramble.

## About Dueflow

Dueflow is the financial platform for fraternities, sororities, and other member-based organizations. Chapters use it to collect dues, run reimbursements, manage payments, sell merchandise and event tickets, and track their finances. House corporations use it to automate rent, reminders, contracts, billing, and insurance. Nationals get oversight across every chapter. Members pay a small convenience fee; chapters pay nothing. Visit [Dueflow.co](https://dueflow.co) to learn more.

## About Fraternity Matters

Fraternity Matters connects fraternity and sorority organizations with technology, services, and partners that help them run better — improving operations, managing risk, protecting property, and strengthening the member experience.

# Can You Pay Fraternity or Sorority Dues With a 529 Plan?

Sam Cooper | 9/13/2026

> No. Chapter dues, national fees, and social fees are personal expenses, so a 529 withdrawal for them is taxable and owes a 10% additional tax on earnings. Rent and a meal plan at the chapter house do qualify as room and board, up to the school's cost-of-attendance allowance. IRS Pub 970 rules, a worked example, and five steps.

No. Fraternity and sorority dues are not a qualified 529 expense. The IRS list of qualified higher-education expenses for a 529 plan (a qualified tuition program) is tuition and fees required for enrollment, books, supplies and equipment, computers and internet access, special-needs services, and room and board for a student enrolled at least half-time. Chapter dues, national fees, social and formal fees, new-member fees, and fines are personal expenses, so paying them from a 529 is a non-qualified withdrawal: the earnings portion is added to taxable income and, in most cases, owes a 10% additional federal tax.

The exception is housing. Rent and a meal plan at a chapter house count as room and board and can be paid from a 529 tax-free, up to the room-and-board allowance in the school's published cost of attendance. This guide walks through what the IRS says, which line items on a Greek bill qualify, a worked example, and the five steps to do it correctly. It is written by Dueflow, a dues-collection platform for chapters, and it is general information, not tax advice.

## Can you pay fraternity or sorority dues with a 529 plan?

Not without a tax cost. A 529 distribution is tax-free only to the extent it pays qualified higher-education expenses, and chapter dues are not on that list. IRS Publication 970 (2025 returns) states that tuition and fees qualify only when they are "required for enrollment or attendance of a designated beneficiary at an eligible postsecondary school." Greek membership is optional, and the chapter, not the school, sets and collects the dues, so the requirement is not met. The same publication lists insurance, transportation, and "similar personal, living, or family expenses" as non-qualified even when they are paid to the institution, which is the category dues fall into.

This is true for every kind of Greek dues bill: semester chapter dues, national or headquarters assessments, chapter insurance premiums, new-member and initiation fees, badge and pin fees, formal and social fees, philanthropy assessments, and fines. It does not matter whether the chapter house is on campus or whether the fee is bundled into a single invoice with rent.

## What does the IRS count as a qualified 529 expense?

Publication 970 defines qualified higher-education expenses for a 529 plan as the following, in connection with enrollment or attendance at an eligible postsecondary school:

- Tuition and fees that are required for enrollment or attendance.
- Books, supplies, and equipment that are required for enrollment or attendance.
- Expenses for special-needs services incurred by a special-needs beneficiary.
- Room and board, but only for a student enrolled at least half-time, and only up to the greater of (a) the school's room-and-board allowance included in its cost of attendance for federal financial aid, for that academic period and living arrangement, or (b) the actual amount charged if the student lives in housing owned or operated by the school.
- Computers, peripheral equipment, software, and internet access used primarily by the student while enrolled.
- Fees, books, supplies, and equipment for a registered apprenticeship program, and up to $10,000 of principal or interest on the beneficiary's (or a sibling's) qualified student loans.

"Half-time" means at least half the full-time academic workload for the student's program, as the school defines it. If the student drops below half-time for a semester, the housing charges for that semester are not qualified either.

## Which parts of a Greek bill qualify, and which do not?

Most chapter invoices bundle several charges into one number. Only two of them can be treated as room and board. The rest are personal expenses.

### Qualified (room and board, within the school's allowance)

- House rent for a live-in member. The chapter house is normally not owned or operated by the university, so it is treated as off-campus housing and capped at the school's off-campus room-and-board allowance. If the university does own or operate the house, the actual amount charged qualifies instead.
- The meal plan or board charge at the chapter house, subject to the same allowance.

### Not qualified (personal expenses)

- Chapter dues and any operating assessment.
- National or headquarters dues, insurance, and risk-management fees.
- New-member, initiation, badge, and pin fees.
- Social, formal, recruitment, and philanthropy fees.
- Fines and late fees.
- A [parlor fee](https://www.dueflow.co/glossary/parlor-fee) charged to out-of-house members. It covers shared upkeep and events, not the member's own housing, so it is not room and board even when it includes some meals. Ask a tax professional before treating any part of it as board.

Two limits stack. First, only the housing line items count. Second, the total of those items is capped at the school's cost-of-attendance room-and-board allowance for the period, which the financial aid office publishes each year. Anything above the cap is a non-qualified distribution even though it was spent on rent.

## How much of a chapter house bill can a 529 cover? A worked example

Assume a member lives in the chapter house and receives one semester invoice of $6,000, itemized as $3,600 rent, $1,000 meal plan, $1,100 chapter dues, and $300 national dues and insurance. The school's cost of attendance lists an off-campus room-and-board allowance of $5,200 for the semester, and the student is enrolled full-time.

- Room and board on the invoice: $3,600 + $1,000 = $4,600.
- Allowance cap: $5,200. Since $4,600 is under the cap, the full $4,600 is a qualified expense.
- Non-qualified portion: $1,100 + $300 = $1,400. Pay this from a bank account, a card, or a payment plan, not the 529.
- If the same house charged $4,800 rent and $1,000 board ($5,800), only $5,200 would qualify and $600 would be non-qualified even though it was rent.

Illustrative figures only. Dues, rent, and allowances vary widely by campus, and the allowance for a student living at home is usually much lower than the off-campus figure.

## What happens if you pay dues from a 529 anyway?

The distribution is split into two parts on Form 1099-Q: your contributions (basis) and earnings. Basis is never taxed. The earnings share of a non-qualified distribution is included in the recipient's gross income, and Publication 970 adds a 10% additional tax on that same amount unless an exception applies (death or disability of the beneficiary, a tax-free scholarship, attendance at a U.S. military academy, or expenses used to claim an education credit).

Example: you withdraw $1,400 to cover dues from an account where 40% of the balance is earnings. $560 is earnings. That $560 is taxable income, and the additional tax is $56. At a 22% marginal rate the total federal cost is roughly $179 on a $1,400 withdrawal, plus any state recapture of a deduction you took for the contribution. There is no reporting form that flags a chapter invoice as housing versus dues; the account owner is responsible for the split if audited.

## How do you pay the housing portion from a 529 correctly?

### Step 1: Confirm at least half-time enrollment for the period

Room and board is qualified only for academic periods when the student is enrolled at least half-time under the school's definition. Keep an enrollment verification or transcript that shows the status for each semester you withdraw for.

### Step 2: Get the school's room-and-board allowance

Search the financial aid office's cost of attendance page for the current year and note the room-and-board figure for the correct living arrangement, usually "off campus" for a chapter house. Save a copy; the number changes annually and the page is often replaced.

### Step 3: Ask the chapter for an itemized bill

Request an invoice or receipt that separates rent and meal plan from chapter dues, national fees, and social charges. If the treasurer bills housing and dues as separate charges, each receipt already does this. If the bill is a single lump sum, ask for the house corporation's rent schedule and the chapter's dues breakdown in writing.

### Step 4: Withdraw only the qualified amount, in the same tax year

Take the distribution for the lower of the actual room-and-board charges or the school's allowance, and do it in the calendar year the housing expense is paid. Distributions and expenses are matched by tax year, so a December withdrawal for a January rent bill can create a mismatch. Paying the plan directly to the house corporation or having it sent to the student or account owner both work; keep the confirmation.

### Step 5: Keep the records together

File the itemized chapter bill, the cost-of-attendance page, proof of enrollment status, the payment receipt, and the Form 1099-Q for the year. If your household also claims the American Opportunity or Lifetime Learning credit, the same tuition dollars cannot be counted for both the credit and a tax-free 529 distribution, so coordinate the two before filing and confirm the plan with a tax professional.

## What should chapter treasurers do to make this easy for parents?

Parents can only use a 529 for the housing part of a bill if they can prove what the housing part is. Three habits on the chapter side remove most of the friction:

1. Bill housing and dues separately. A rent or [house fee](https://www.dueflow.co/glossary/house-fee) charge and a dues charge, each with its own receipt, is cleaner than one bundled invoice with a note.
2. Label charges plainly. "Fall house rent" and "Fall meal plan" are what a tax preparer needs to see; "Fall bill" is not.
3. Offer a payment plan on the dues charge. The non-qualified portion still has to be paid from ordinary funds, and splitting it into installments is the part families most often ask for. See [payment plans for fraternity and sorority dues](https://www.dueflow.co/blog/payment-plans-for-fraternity-sorority-dues) for how chapters set them up, or use the [payment plan generator](https://www.dueflow.co/tools/payment-plan-generator) to model a schedule.

Dueflow, which publishes this guide, is built around this model: treasurers create separate charges with their own deadlines and receipts, members or their parents pay each one by ACH, card, or Apple Pay with no account required, and payment plans can be enabled per charge. Chapters pay no platform fee. Details for families are on the [parents page](https://www.dueflow.co/for-parents) and for treasurers on the [dues collection page](https://www.dueflow.co/product/dues-collection).

## Frequently asked questions

### Can you use a 529 for sorority dues?

No. Sorority dues, including chapter, national, new-member, and social fees, are personal expenses under the 529 rules. Only the rent and meal plan for a member who lives in the sorority house can be paid from a 529, and only up to the school's cost-of-attendance room-and-board allowance for a student enrolled at least half-time.

### Can a 529 pay for living in a fraternity or sorority house?

Yes, for the room-and-board portion. Because most chapter houses are not owned by the university, the qualified amount is capped at the school's off-campus room-and-board allowance. If the university owns or operates the house, the actual charge qualifies. Dues bundled into the same house bill do not.

### Is a parlor fee or out-of-house fee 529-eligible?

Generally no. A parlor fee pays for an out-of-house member's share of the chapter facility and its events rather than that member's own housing, so it is not room and board. If part of it is a stated meal plan, ask a tax professional whether that portion can be documented as board.

### What is the penalty for using 529 money on fraternity dues?

The earnings portion of the withdrawal is taxed as ordinary income and, unless an exception applies, owes a 10% additional federal tax. Contributions come back tax-free. Some states also recapture a state income-tax deduction or credit taken on the original contribution.

### Does the chapter or the school issue any form for 529 purposes?

No. The 529 plan issues Form 1099-Q for the distribution, and the school issues Form 1098-T for tuition and fees it billed. Neither covers chapter housing, so the itemized chapter bill and the school's published cost of attendance are the records that support the withdrawal.

# How to Open a Bank Account for a Fraternity or Sorority Chapter (and Which Account Is Best): 2026 Guide

Richie Spencer | 9/11/2026

> How to open a bank account for a fraternity or sorority chapter, step by step: EIN, organizing documents, nationals' banking rules, choosing the account, signers, and connecting your dues platform. Plus the four account types chapters use in 2026, why banks got stricter after Rev. Proc. 2026-8, and how to keep the account clean through officer transitions.

How do you open a bank account for a fraternity chapter? Get an EIN for the chapter, gather your organizing documents (charter or nationals' letter, bylaws, officer list), check your national organization's banking rules, choose a no-monthly-fee organization checking account, name at least two officer signers, and connect your dues platform so collections settle to the account – the step-by-step is below. **Short answer on which account: **the best bank account for a fraternity or sorority chapter is a no-monthly-fee nonprofit or organization checking account opened in the chapter's own legal name with its own EIN, with at least two officer signers, online banking with ACH, and a written process for swapping signers at every officer transition. For most chapters that is an organization account at a campus-area credit union or community bank; if local banks turn you down, a fintech built for member organizations (Crowded is the one built specifically for Greek life) is the usual fallback; and if your national organization has moved to a unified finance platform, the decision has been made for you. Never run chapter money through a member's personal account or a personal Venmo.

Dueflow is not a bank and does not want to be one. Collected dues settle directly to the chapter's own bank account and Dueflow never holds chapter funds, so this guide is what we tell every new treasurer who asks where the money should land. It covers what you need before you walk into a bank, what to look for, the four kinds of accounts chapters actually use in 2026, why banks have become pickier, and how to keep the account clean through officer turnover.

## How do you open a bank account for a fraternity chapter?

To open a bank account for a fraternity or sorority chapter: get an EIN in the chapter's name, gather the chapter's organizing documents and current officer list, confirm your national organization's banking rules (some now require a specific platform), pick a no-fee organization account at a campus-area credit union or community bank, open it with two officer signers, and connect it to your dues platform so collections settle straight into it. Most chapters can do the whole thing in one to two weeks; the EIN is issued the same day online.

### Step 1: Get an EIN in the chapter's name

Apply free at IRS.gov (Apply for an EIN Online). Choose "View Additional Types" then "Other Non-Profit/Tax-Exempt Organizations" and "Banking Purposes" as the reason. Use the chapter's legal name and campus address, and have a current officer act as the responsible party. Before you apply, ask your national headquarters whether the chapter already has an EIN on file; many do, and a duplicate EIN creates filing problems later. Never open the account under an officer's Social Security number.

### Step 2: Gather the organizing documents and officer list

Banks open organization accounts for legal entities, so bring the chapter's charter or articles of incorporation, bylaws, and the minutes or officer roster showing who is authorized to open the account and sign on it. Bring proof of tax-exempt status if you have it (most chapters are covered by their national's 501(c)(7) group exemption; a letter from headquarters confirming that is enough) and government ID for every signer.

### Step 3: Check your national organization's banking rules

Some nationals require chapters to bank through a mandated unified finance platform, some require an authorization letter for a local account, and some leave it to the chapter. Confirm with headquarters before you visit a branch so you do not open an account you then have to close. Also check your campus student-organization rules: some universities require registered organizations to hold funds in a campus agency account.

### Step 4: Choose the account type and the bank

For most chapters the right choice is a no-monthly-fee nonprofit or organization checking account at a campus-area credit union or community bank, with online banking and ACH, at least two signers, per-card debit limits, and exportable statements. If local banks decline an unincorporated chapter, a fintech built for member organizations is the usual fallback. The account types below compare the four options chapters actually use.

### Step 5: Open the account with two officer signers

Book an appointment with the branch's business or nonprofit banker rather than walking in; bring the treasurer and president (or the two officers your bylaws name) with ID, the EIN confirmation letter (CP 575), the organizing documents, and the officer minutes. Set up online banking under a chapter-controlled email address, not a personal one, and order debit cards only for the officers who actually spend.

### Step 6: Connect the account and document the handoff

Connect the new account to your dues platform, accounting software, and any payment processor so dues and payouts settle directly into it, then write down the signer-swap procedure in the chapter's transition documents so next year's treasurer can update signers, cards, and logins in a single bank visit. If you use Dueflow, connect the account in Settings and collected dues land in it automatically; Dueflow never holds chapter funds.

## What does a fraternity chapter need before opening a bank account?

Banks open organization accounts for legal entities, not for groups of students. Before you apply, gather:

1. **An EIN in the chapter's name. **Apply free at [IRS.gov](https://www.irs.gov/businesses/small-businesses-self-employed/get-an-employer-identification-number); online applications are issued immediately. Check whether your chapter already has one before applying, because a second EIN creates tax-filing confusion for years. Your national headquarters usually has it on file.
2. **Organizing documents. **Articles of incorporation or a charter, bylaws, and a list of current officers. Many banks also ask for a signed officer resolution naming who may transact on the account.
3. **Proof of tax-exempt status, if you have it. **Most chapters are [501(c)(7) social clubs](https://www.dueflow.co/glossary/501c7) covered by their national organization's group exemption letter. Ask nationals for the group exemption number and your chapter's inclusion letter.
4. **Government ID for every signer. **Signers must generally be adults; some institutions require proof of address for each one.
5. **Your campus rules. **Some universities require registered student organizations to bank through a campus account. CHAARG's [chapter banking guide](https://chaarg.com/chapter-bank-accounts/) puts it first for a reason: talk to the student-organization office before you open anything off campus.

The IRS is explicit about how a social club is supposed to be funded, which is also why the chapter, not an officer, must own the account:

> “A social club must be supported by membership fees, dues, and assessments.”

— [IRS, Social Clubs: Requirements for Exemption, Support by Membership Dues](https://www.irs.gov/charities-non-profits/other-non-profits/social-clubs-requirements-for-exemption-support-by-membership-dues)

## What should you look for in a chapter bank account?

Treat this as a checklist. A chapter account is small, seasonal, and changes hands every year, so the features that matter are different from a business account.

- **No monthly maintenance fee and no minimum balance**, or a minimum you can hold through summer when the balance bottoms out.
- **At least two officer signers** (typically treasurer and president), with a documented way to add and remove signers without closing the account.
- **Online banking with ACH** so dues payouts, vendor payments, and reimbursements do not depend on paper checks.
- **Debit cards with per-card spending limits** for the officers who actually buy things, so reimbursements are the exception rather than the process.
- **Exportable statements (CSV or OFX)** so the books can be reconciled and handed to the next treasurer.
- **Federal deposit insurance** through an FDIC-insured bank or NCUA-insured credit union. Fintech accounts hold deposits at a partner bank; read the fine print for which one.
- **Nonprofit or organization account type**, so the bank's compliance team already understands that the owner is an unincorporated association or nonprofit corporation.

University Credit Union's organization-account page states the underlying principle well:

> “A designated account for official transactions will enable important financial controls and limit the risk of mismanagement.”

— [University Credit Union, Student Club or Organization Account](https://www.ucu.org/memberships/student-clubs-organizations)

## Which types of bank accounts work for fraternity and sorority chapters?

### 1. Organization account at a campus-area credit union or community bank

This is the default for independent chapters and the option most campus advisors recommend. Campus-adjacent institutions open dozens of these a year and know what an RSO packet looks like. Requirements are modest: University Credit Union's [organization account](https://www.ucu.org/memberships/student-clubs-organizations) requires a $5 share savings balance and a $50 opening deposit; CFSB's [Campus Checking](https://www.cfsbky.com/business/campus-checking) for student organizations has no minimum balance requirement and a $100 minimum deposit to open. Ask the treasurers of other organizations on your campus where they bank; the bank that already holds ten student-org accounts is the one that will not make you explain what a fraternity is.

### 2. A fintech account built for member organizations

When a local bank declines an unincorporated chapter, a nonprofit-focused fintech is the usual fallback. [Crowded](https://bankingcrowded.com/greek-life/) is built specifically for Greek life: fully digital account setup, digital officer handovers, budgeted debit cards, built-in dues requests, and Form 990 filing services. Rho and Givefront are cited in the same conversations, but they are built for startups and nonprofits with staff rather than chapters; Givefront requires only an EIN to issue cards, and Rho is a spend-management platform whose checking services are provided by a partner bank. With any fintech, confirm which bank holds the deposits and how officer changes are handled before you move money in.

### 3. Your national organization's unified finance platform

A growing number of nationals are consolidating banking, dues, and tax filing into one mandated system. Phi Delta Theta's Unified Finance, introduced in 2026 and built on the Billhighway system, is the clearest example: chapters no longer keep a local bank account, officer access follows roles set in the national member portal, and the cost is $30 per member per year plus 3 percent card and 1 percent ACH processing. Phi Delta Theta's own FAQ explains part of the motivation:

> “At the same time, banks in both the United States and Canada have grown increasingly reluctant to open and maintain accounts for unincorporated nonprofits such as fraternity chapters.”

— [Phi Delta Theta, Unified Finance FAQs for Undergraduates](https://phideltatheta.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/WEBSITE-Unified-Finance-FAQs-Undergraduates.pdf)

If your national organization requires a platform like this, the bank account decision is made for you. Confirm what happens to your existing local account (Phi Delta Theta's guidance is to transfer funds out and close it) and save final statements with the chapter's tax records before you do.

### 4. A campus-managed agency account

Some universities hold student-organization funds in an agency account administered by the student activities office. It is the simplest to open and often the slowest to spend from, because purchases go through the office's approval process. It works for chapters with low transaction volume, but check whether it can receive electronic dues payouts before choosing it.

### What never works: a personal account or a personal payment app

A member's personal checking account, personal Venmo, or personal Cash App is not a chapter bank account. It mixes chapter money with personal money, puts the officer's own tax situation at risk, breaks the moment that member graduates, and makes the [financial controls](https://www.dueflow.co/blog/financial-controls-fraternities-sororities-prevent-fraud) that protect both the chapter and the officer impossible. If your chapter is doing this today, opening a proper account is the first job of the semester.

## Why are banks getting stricter with fraternity chapters in 2026?

Two things changed at once. Banks' know-your-customer rules have made unincorporated associations with rotating student officers more work to onboard than they are worth to many branches. And in January 2026 the IRS released [Revenue Procedure 2026-8](https://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-drop/rp-26-08.pdf), the first full rewrite of the group exemption rules since 1980, which governs how national fraternities and sororities keep their chapters tax-exempt. Fraternal Law Partners summarize the change that lands on chapter treasurers:

> “Importantly, obtaining a copy of a subordinate’s Form 990 or Form 990-EZ satisfies the information-gathering requirement. However, a Form 990-N (the ‘e-Postcard’ filed by small organizations) does not suffice; central organizations must obtain supplemental information from those subordinates through some other means, such as a required annual written report.”

— [Fraternal Law Partners, What National Organizations Need to Know About Group Exemptions and Rev. Proc. 2026-8](https://fraternallaw.com/newsletter2/what-national-organizations-need-to-know-about-group-exemptions-and-the-major-changes-under-revenue-procedure-2026-8)

In plain terms: nationals now have to collect real financial information from every chapter every year to keep the group exemption, and the IRS [may terminate a group exemption](https://www.irs.gov/charities-non-profits/group-exemption-rulings-and-group-returns) if too many chapters fall out of compliance. Expect your headquarters to ask for bank statements, a budget-to-actual report, and proof of your annual filing. A dedicated chapter account with exportable statements makes that a ten-minute task; a shoebox or a personal Venmo makes it a crisis.

## How much does a chapter bank account cost?

A well-chosen chapter account should cost nothing to maintain. Organization accounts at credit unions and community banks are typically free of monthly fees; watch for wire fees, paper-statement fees, and check-order costs, which are the usual line items. Fintech accounts are also usually free to hold, and earn their revenue on payment processing or card interchange. Nationals' unified platforms are the exception and charge a per-member fee: Phi Delta Theta's is $30 per member per year, billed as two $15 semester installments. Dues platforms are a separate cost from the bank account; Dueflow charges chapters and nationals [$0 in platform fees](https://www.dueflow.co/pricing), with the paying member covering a small flat processing fee at checkout.

## How do you handle officer transitions on a chapter bank account?

Officer turnover is where chapter accounts break. The outgoing treasurer graduates, the bank still lists them as the only signer, and the new treasurer spends a month unable to pay the caterer. Build the handover into the calendar:

1. Elect officers early enough that the bank appointment happens before the outgoing treasurer leaves campus.
2. Bring the new officer roster, a signed resolution, and IDs for every new signer to the bank together. Add the new signers before removing the old ones.
3. Update the login, security questions, and recovery phone number on online banking to a chapter-controlled email such as treasurer@yourchapter.org rather than a personal address.
4. Reissue debit cards to the new officers and cancel the old ones.
5. Reconnect the account in any dues platform, accounting software, or payment processor that pays out to it, and confirm a test payout lands.
6. Save the final statements and reconciliation in the chapter's records before the old treasurer's access ends.

Our [treasurer transition checklist](https://www.dueflow.co/blog/treasurer-transition-checklist-fraternity-sorority) walks through the full handoff, including the books and the tax calendar.

## How does Dueflow work with your chapter's bank account?

Dueflow sits on top of whatever bank account you choose. You connect the chapter account in Settings using your online banking login, members pay dues by ACH, card, Apple Pay, or in installments, and collected funds settle directly to that account. Dueflow never holds chapter funds, there is no platform-managed balance to transfer out when officers change, and there is no per-member platform fee. In Dueflow's [aggregate benchmark data](https://www.dueflow.co/research/dues-collection-benchmarks) from 3,772 dues charges across 41 chapters, 50.4 percent of payments were made by ACH, which is why an account with clean electronic deposits and exportable statements matters more than a branch on the corner. Payouts can also post to [QuickBooks Online](https://www.dueflow.co/quickbooks-integration) as categorized deposits so the books match the bank statement to the dollar.

If you are switching platforms, keep the old account open for 30 to 60 days after cutover so refunds and late ACH returns have somewhere to land; our [mid-year platform switch guide](https://www.dueflow.co/blog/how-to-switch-fraternity-dues-platforms-mid-year) has the full sequence.

## Frequently asked questions

### Can a fraternity chapter use a personal bank account?

No. It commingles chapter and personal funds, exposes the officer personally, and cannot survive graduation. Open an organization account in the chapter's legal name with its own EIN.

### Does a fraternity chapter need an EIN to open a bank account?

Yes. Banks require a taxpayer identification number for the account owner, and for an organization that is an EIN. It is free from the IRS and issued immediately online. Check with your national headquarters first, because most established chapters already have one.

### Does a chapter have to be a 501(c)(7) to open a bank account?

No. A bank will open an organization account for an unincorporated association or a nonprofit corporation whether or not it is recognized as tax-exempt. Tax-exempt status matters for your annual IRS filing and for your national organization's group exemption, not for the bank.

### Should the chapter and the house corporation share a bank account?

No. The house corporation is normally a separate legal entity with its own EIN, officers, and filings. Keep separate accounts and move money between them with documented transfers.

### Can Dueflow be our chapter's bank?

No. Dueflow is a dues collection and chapter finance platform, not a bank. It pays collected funds out to the bank account your chapter already owns, which is exactly why choosing a good one is worth an afternoon.

# How to Switch Fraternity Dues Platforms Mid-Year (Without Losing a Payment)

Sam Cooper | 9/6/2026

> Yes, a chapter can switch dues platforms mid-year. Cut over at a billing boundary, export roster and balances first, import and reconcile, move the bank connection, and re-enroll payment plans. Six steps, a checklist, and what to do if your national mandates a platform.

Yes, a fraternity or sorority chapter can switch dues platforms in the middle of the school year – and it does not have to be messy. The clean way is to cut over at a billing boundary (the start of a semester, or the day the next installment is due), export the roster, open balances, and payment history from the old platform first, import the roster and balances into the new one, move the bank connection, and then have members re-enroll their payment methods. Done in that order, a 100-member chapter can be fully switched in about two weeks with no missed payment. This guide walks through the six steps, what to export, how to handle payment plans that are already in progress, and how to communicate the change so members actually pay on the new platform.

Full disclosure: this guide is published by Dueflow, a dues collection platform for fraternities, sororities, and other member organizations – so we are one of the destinations a chapter might switch to. The steps below are platform-agnostic; where we describe how something works on Dueflow specifically, we say so.

## Should you switch mid-year or wait for the semester break?

Switch now if the cost of staying is already fixed: your current platform is being retired or folded into a new product, your contract or per-member fee renews at the start of the next semester, or collections are so far behind that a new billing cycle would inherit the mess. Wait for the break if you are mid-semester with a large number of active payment plans and the platform is otherwise working – finishing the current installments on the old system and starting fresh on the new one is less work than re-enrolling everyone halfway through a plan.

The most common real-world trigger is a change at the vendor. greekbill was renamed re:Members Choice Finance in 2025, and in 2026 at least one national fraternity began moving every chapter off greekbill onto a different product. A vendor rebrand or consolidation is a natural moment to re-check fit, and it often comes with a deadline that decides the timing for you. See [what happened to greekbill](https://www.dueflow.co/blog/what-happened-to-greekbill) for the timeline.

## Check whether your national organization mandates a platform first

Before comparing vendors, ask your headquarters or chapter services contact one question: is our chapter required to use a specific financial platform? The answer varies widely by organization.

- Phi Delta Theta requires it. A General Council policy makes re:Members Unified Finance the sole platform for chapter banking, dues collection, accounting, and payments, replacing greekbill; exemptions are reviewed by General Headquarters by June 30 each year. Members pay $30 per year (billed as two $15 semester installments) plus 3% card / 1% ACH processing, and chapters transfer funds out of their local bank account and close it as part of the move. Source: [Phi Delta Theta Unified Finance FAQ](https://phideltatheta.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/WEBSITE-Unified-Finance-FAQs-Undergraduates.pdf) and the [July 2026 announcement](https://phideltatheta.org/news-stories/unified-finance-a-stronger-financial-foundation-for-every-phi-delt-chapter/).
- Delta Upsilon encourages but does not require it. DU chapters are encouraged to use re:Members Financials and pay a per-member fee if they do, but the fraternity states chapters are not required to use it.

- Many organizations leave the choice to the chapter, or only require that dues to nationals flow through a specific portal while local dues can be collected anywhere.

If your national mandates a platform, the destination is decided but everything below still applies – the export, the cutover date, the balance reconciliation, and the member communication are the same work. If the choice is yours, our [treasurer's checklist for choosing dues software](https://www.dueflow.co/blog/how-to-choose-fraternity-dues-software) covers what to compare.

## Step 1: Export everything from the old platform before you touch anything

Freeze the books first. Export from the outgoing platform while you still have full access, and store the files somewhere the next treasurer can find them (a shared chapter drive, not a personal laptop). You want five exports:

- The member roster with names, emails, phone numbers, and member status (active, new member, alumni, inactive).
- Outstanding balance per member as of the export date – this is the number you will reconcile against after import.
- Full payment history for the current fiscal year (and prior years if the platform allows) for your tax filing and audit trail.
- Payment plan schedules: who is on a plan, how many installments remain, and the due dates.
- Autopay and recurring enrollments, so you know exactly who will need to re-authorize on the new platform.

Most platforms export to CSV or Excel. If yours only offers PDF statements, export those too and build the roster and balance sheet by hand – it is tedious once, and impossible after your access is cut off.

## Step 2: Pick a cutover date at a billing boundary and announce it

Choose the date the old platform stops accepting payments and the new one starts. The best cutover is the day after a scheduled installment clears, or the first day of a semester, so no single payment straddles two systems. Give members at least two weeks' notice, and tell them three things: the date, what they need to do (re-enter a payment method), and where to go. Turn off autopay on the old platform effective the cutover date so nobody is charged twice.

A short message works better than a long one. Something like: "Starting [date], chapter dues are collected through [platform]. You'll get an email and text with your personal link. Please add a payment method by [date] – the old portal will stop taking payments that day. Questions: text the treasurer."

## Step 3: Import the roster and open balances, then reconcile

Import the roster into the new platform, then load each member's outstanding balance as their opening charge. Before you send anything, check one number: the sum of open balances in the new system should equal the total outstanding in the old system's export. If it does not, find the difference now – usually a member who paid between the export and the import, or a payment plan installment counted twice.

On Dueflow this is a CSV import of members, groups, and outstanding balances that takes about two minutes for a typical chapter, and most chapters are live the same day. Historical paid transactions stay in the exports from your old platform; the new platform starts from the opening balances.

## Step 4: Move the money path – bank account, payouts, and refunds

Connect the chapter's bank account to the new platform and confirm the first test payout lands. If the old platform held funds in a virtual or platform-managed account, request the final payout and confirm it arrives before you close anything. Keep the old bank account and the old platform login open for 30 to 60 days after cutover: refunds, chargebacks, and late ACH returns on the last batch of old-platform payments will post there.

If your national is moving you onto a platform that includes its own banking (as in the Phi Delta Theta case above), you will be transferring funds out of the local account and closing it – do that only after the final old-platform payout has settled and the last refund window has passed.

## Step 5: Re-enroll payment plans and autopay

Saved cards and bank accounts cannot be moved between payment processors – they are tokenized by the processor, so every member on autopay must re-authorize once on the new platform. This is the step chapters underestimate. Rebuild each in-progress payment plan with the remaining installments only (not the original total), send the personal payment link by both text and email, and schedule automatic reminders for anyone who has not added a payment method within a week.

Dueflow supports partial payments and payment plans natively, sends reminders by SMS, email, and in-app, and accepts ACH, card, Apple Pay, Google Pay, and Klarna, so members can re-enroll in whichever method they were using before. See our [guide to automatic recurring dues](https://www.dueflow.co/blog/automatic-recurring-dues-setup-guide) for setup details.

## Step 6: Run both platforms side by side for one cycle, then close the old one

Leave the old platform in read-only mode for one full billing cycle. Any straggler payments that land there get recorded manually in the new system so a member's balance is never wrong. Once the last payout has settled and the final export is saved with your tax records, close the account. Do not delete the exports – your chapter's tax filing and any future audit depend on them.

## Handle the officer transition at the same time

Mid-year switches almost always coincide with a new treasurer, because a new officer is the one who asks why the chapter is paying what it pays. Use the switch to fix the handoff problem: set up officer access by role rather than by a single personal login, add the president and the incoming treasurer as administrators from day one, and write the export-and-reconcile steps above into the chapter's transition binder. Every chapter that has lost access to its own financial records lost it because the platform was tied to a graduated member's email.

## Mid-year switch checklist

1. Confirm whether your national organization requires a specific platform.
2. Export roster, open balances, payment history, payment plan schedules, and autopay enrollments from the old platform.
3. Pick a cutover date at a billing boundary; announce it at least two weeks out.
4. Turn off autopay on the old platform effective the cutover date.
5. Import roster and opening balances into the new platform; reconcile the totals.
6. Connect the chapter bank account; confirm a test payout; request the final payout from the old platform.
7. Re-enroll payment plans (remaining installments only) and autopay; send links by text and email.
8. Keep the old account open 30–60 days for refunds and ACH returns.
9. Run both side by side for one cycle; record stragglers manually.
10. Save the final exports with the chapter's tax records; close the old account; update the officer transition binder.

## Frequently asked questions

### Will members have to re-enter their payment information?

Yes. Saved cards and bank accounts are tokenized by the payment processor and cannot be transferred between platforms, so every member who used autopay or a saved method will add it once on the new platform. Send the personal payment link by text and email and set a deadline a week before the next installment is due.

### What happens to payment plans that are already in progress?

Rebuild them on the new platform using only the remaining balance and remaining installments. Export the plan schedule from the old platform first so you know exactly how much each member still owes and when. If most of the chapter is mid-plan, it is often cleaner to let the current semester's plans finish on the old system and start the new platform at the next billing boundary.

### Will we lose our payment history?

Only if you skip the export. Payment history from the old platform usually does not import into the new one, so export it to CSV or Excel before your access ends and keep it with the chapter's tax records. The new platform starts from each member's opening balance and builds its own history from there.

### How long does switching dues platforms take?

Plan on about two weeks end to end: a few days to export and reconcile, a two-week notice period for members (which can overlap), and one billing cycle of running both systems for stragglers. The setup itself is the small part – on Dueflow the roster import takes about two minutes and most chapters send their first dues request the same day. The member re-enrollment window is what sets the calendar.

### What does it cost to switch to Dueflow?

Nothing for the chapter. Dueflow charges chapters and nationals $0 in platform fees with no contract and no setup fee; members pay a small flat processing fee based on how they pay (for example, $2 on an ACH payment under $100). The chapter keeps 100% of dues collected, and funds deposit directly into the chapter's own bank account. Current fees are listed on the [pricing page](https://www.dueflow.co/pricing), and the [greekbill vs Dueflow comparison](https://www.dueflow.co/vs/greekbill) shows what a 100-member chapter saves by switching.

### Can we switch if our national organization has a preferred platform?

Ask first. Some organizations only recommend a platform, some subsidize it, and some – like Phi Delta Theta with re:Members Unified Finance – require it by policy with exemptions reviewed annually. If the platform is required, the migration steps in this guide still apply but the destination is set. If it is only preferred, confirm any reporting your national needs (a roster or payment export is usually enough) and choose the platform that fits the chapter.

# What Happened to greekbill? Login, 2026 Pricing & the re:Members Rebrand

Sam Cooper | 8/31/2026

> greekbill wasn't shut down – it became re:Members Choice Finance in January 2025. The timeline, where to log in, what greekbill costs now ($18/member/semester), and what the rebrand means for your chapter.

greekbill didn't shut down – it was renamed. In January 2025, greekbill's parent company consolidated its products under a new brand, re:Members, and greekbill became re:Members Choice Finance. The greekbill name is being retired as part of a multi-phase rebrand, but the underlying platform, accounts, and billing service continue to operate. If you're looking for your greekbill login, it now lives under the re:Members brand.

Here is the full timeline, what the rebrand means for chapters that use it, what greekbill costs now, and what to check if your chapter is re-evaluating its dues platform.

## The greekbill timeline

- 1996 – greekbill, Inc. is founded in Torrance, California, as a billing and payments service built exclusively for fraternities and sororities.
- May 2018 – Billhighway acquires greekbill. Both companies continue to operate their platforms separately while sharing services for fraternal organizations. Source: [acquisition announcement](https://www.prweb.com/releases/billhighway_acquires_greekbill_a_promising_future_for_the_greek_community_lies_ahead/prweb15449415.htm).
- January 2025 – greekbill's parent announces the re:Members rebrand: Billhighway, ChapterSpot, greekbill, and Impexium are unified under one company name. Source: [rebrand press release](https://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/now-called-remembers-complementary-solutions-continue-working-together-under-new-unifying-name-302360361.html).
- Today – greekbill operates as re:Members Choice Finance; Billhighway is re:Members Unified Finance and ChapterSpot is the re:Members CRM platform. Source: [re:Members product page](https://www.remembers.com/fraternal/choice-finance/).

## What did greekbill change its name to?

greekbill is now called re:Members Choice Finance. The rename is part of a rebrand announced in January 2025 that unified four products – Billhighway, ChapterSpot, greekbill, and Impexium – under the re:Members name. The old product names map to the new ones like this:

- greekbill → re:Members Choice Finance
- Billhighway → re:Members Unified Finance
- ChapterSpot → re:Members CRM
- Impexium → re:Members AMS

## Did greekbill shut down?

No. greekbill was not shut down or discontinued – it was acquired by Billhighway in 2018 and renamed to re:Members Choice Finance in 2025. Chapters that were using greekbill continue to be served under the re:Members brand, and re:Members describes the change as a name change rather than a platform migration.

## Where do I log in to greekbill now?

Existing greekbill users can still reach their account through the re:Members website – the product page for the platform formerly known as greekbill is at [remembers.com](https://www.remembers.com/fraternal/choice-finance/). If your chapter pays dues through greekbill, your treasurer or national organization can confirm the current login URL for your account.

## What does the rebrand mean for your chapter?

For most chapters, nothing changes day to day: billing continues under the new name. But a vendor rebrand is also a natural moment for treasurers to re-check fit – pricing, member fees, payment plans, and how much manual work collections still take. Rebrands often come with platform consolidation over time, so it's worth confirming which product tier your chapter is actually on and what it costs per member per term.

## How much does greekbill (re:Members Choice Finance) cost?

re:Members does not publish a price list for Choice Finance, and the [product page](https://www.remembers.com/fraternal/choice-finance/) asks you to request a quote. Based on chapter invoices Dueflow has reviewed, greekbill charges the chapter a platform fee of $18 per member per semester ($36 per member per year), plus payment processing of 5.15% + 30¢ on card payments and 3% on ACH payments. For a 100-member chapter that is about $3,600 a year in platform fees before processing. Pricing can vary by national organization and contract, so check the figures against your own agreement.

For comparison, Dueflow charges chapters and national organizations $0 in platform, per-member, and setup fees. Members cover the processing cost on each payment: a flat $2 to $15 for ACH depending on the amount, or a flat fee plus 3.3% on cards, shown at checkout before they pay. The full member fee table is on the [pricing page](https://www.dueflow.co/pricing), and the [Dueflow vs greekbill comparison](https://www.dueflow.co/vs/greekbill) explains how each figure was sourced.

## Alternatives to greekbill / re:Members

Full disclosure: this article is published by Dueflow, a dues collection platform for fraternities, sororities, and other member organizations – so we're one of the alternatives. If your chapter is comparing options after the rebrand, we keep an up-to-date roundup of [greekbill alternatives](https://www.dueflow.co/greekbill-alternatives) and a side-by-side [Dueflow vs greekbill comparison](https://www.dueflow.co/vs/greekbill) with methodology and sources, including where greekbill/re:Members is the better fit.

# QuickBooks for Fraternities: A Treasurer's Guide

Santiago Schmitt | 7/13/2026

> Most fraternities either misuse QuickBooks or skip accounting entirely. Here’s how to set up your chapter’s books right – and sync dues automatically.

When I was treasurer, our chapter “used QuickBooks.” What that actually meant: the outgoing treasurer had set it up three years ago, nobody touched it for two years, and I spent my first week trying to figure out what account category “date function supplies” fell under.

Most Greek chapters are in one of two situations: they’re running the books in a spreadsheet (which works until it doesn’t), or they’ve set up QuickBooks but it’s so disconnected from actual dues collection that it’s basically decorative.

This guide is for both. Here’s what QuickBooks actually does well for chapters, where it falls short, and how to set things up so you’re not doing double the work.

## Do Fraternities and Sororities Need QuickBooks?

Short answer: probably not every chapter, but more than you’d think.

QuickBooks is accounting software. It tracks income and expenses, generates financial statements, and keeps a clean audit trail. If your chapter is incorporated (most fraternities and sororities are, usually as non-profit 501(c)(7) organizations), you’re legally required to maintain proper financial records. QuickBooks makes that easier.

If your chapter national has financial reporting requirements – and most do – having clean books in QuickBooks makes those reports much faster to generate.

If you’re a small chapter with under 30 members and a simple budget, a spreadsheet might genuinely be enough. But once you’re managing event budgets, reimbursements, multiple income sources, and national reporting, QuickBooks earns its keep.

## What QuickBooks Does Well for Greek Chapters

- Expense tracking and categorization. Connect your chapter bank account to QuickBooks and every transaction imports automatically. You can categorize expenses (social events, philanthropy, housing, dues to national) and run a budget-vs-actual report at any time. This is genuinely useful for understanding where money goes.
- Financial statements. At the end of the year, you need a profit-and-loss statement and a balance sheet – especially if your chapter undergoes any kind of audit. QuickBooks generates these in 30 seconds. In a spreadsheet, this is hours of work.
- Audit trail. Every transaction is logged with a date, amount, and category. If a future treasurer or a national auditor questions a payment, you have documentation. This protects you personally.
- Vendor management. If you pay the same vendors repeatedly – caterers, equipment rentals, your insurance company – QuickBooks tracks payment history and lets you run vendor reports.

## Where QuickBooks Falls Short

Here’s where most chapters get frustrated.

- Dues collection. QuickBooks doesn’t send payment requests, doesn’t process dues, doesn’t track who’s paid versus who hasn’t, and doesn’t send reminders. You still need a separate process to actually collect money from members.
- Member management. QuickBooks wasn’t built for organizations with 40–80 rotating members. It doesn’t have a concept of “active members,” payment plans, or member-specific balance tracking.
- Payment methods. Members don’t pay dues the same way they pay a vendor. They use Venmo, Apple Pay, cards. QuickBooks can record these transactions after they happen, but it doesn’t facilitate the collection.
- Reminders. The most effective tool in dues collection is an automated reminder system. QuickBooks has nothing like this.

This is why most chapters end up with two disconnected systems: dues software to collect money, QuickBooks to do accounting. And the problem with two systems is someone has to manually reconcile them.

## The Reconciliation Problem

Every week – or month, or end of semester when you finally get around to it – you have to take what your dues software shows as collected and enter it into QuickBooks. Miss a few weeks and you’re reconciling three months of transactions the night before a national report is due.

[Dueflow](https://dueflow.co) now syncs deposits directly to QuickBooks Online. When dues payments settle and get deposited to your chapter bank account, that deposit shows up automatically in QuickBooks – categorized correctly, no manual entry.

This eliminates the thing that makes dual-system accounting painful: the manual sync step. Your dues collection stays in dueflow (automated reminders, payment plans, member tracking). Your accounting stays in QuickBooks (financial statements, expense tracking, audit trail). The integration keeps them in sync.

## Setting Up QuickBooks for Your Chapter

If you’re starting from scratch:

### Step 1: Choose the right QuickBooks plan

For most chapters, QuickBooks Online Simple Start ($18/month) is enough. If you have more complex needs – multiple bank accounts, detailed vendor tracking, 1099s – QuickBooks Online Essentials ($27/month) adds features worth having.

### Step 2: Set up your chart of accounts

This is the list of categories your income and expenses fall into. A basic chart for Greek chapters:

- Income: Dues Revenue, Social Event Revenue, Fundraiser Revenue, Interest/Misc.
- Expenses: Social Events, Philanthropy, Chapter Operations, National Dues, Housing (if applicable), Insurance, Equipment.

Don’t over-complicate this. 8–12 categories is usually right. More than 20 and it becomes a burden to categorize every transaction.

### Step 3: Connect your bank account

In QuickBooks Online: Banking → Connect Account. Transactions import automatically from this point forward. Set your start date to the beginning of your current fiscal year.

### Step 4: Connect your dues software

If you’re using [dueflow](https://dueflow.co), connect it through the QuickBooks integration in your chapter settings. Deposits will sync automatically.

### Step 5: Assign a backup

The treasurer shouldn’t be the only person with QuickBooks access. Give your chapter president or faculty advisor read-only access so there’s always an independent check on the books.

## Frequently Asked Questions

### Do fraternities file taxes?

Most fraternities and sororities are organized as 501(c)(7) social clubs, which exempts them from income tax on dues and similar income. However, if your chapter has unrelated business income – selling merchandise to non-members, renting space – there may be filing requirements. Check with your national organization or a CPA familiar with Greek organizations.

### Can I connect dueflow to QuickBooks myself?

Yes – the integration is in your dueflow chapter settings under Integrations. It connects to QuickBooks Online (not QuickBooks Desktop). OAuth-based setup, takes a few minutes.

### What if I’m taking over from a treasurer who had messy books?

Start fresh with a new fiscal year rather than trying to fix old records. Import your opening bank balance, set up your chart of accounts, and go from there. Reconcile what you can from the old records for any ongoing expenses, but don’t spend 20 hours cleaning up someone else’s work.

### Does my national require QuickBooks specifically?

Most nationals don’t require a specific software – they require accurate reporting in a specific format. QuickBooks makes generating those reports easy, but well-maintained spreadsheets can work too if that’s what you have.

The treasury job is easier when your tools talk to each other. Dues software handles collection. QuickBooks handles accounting. The piece that used to be manual – syncing them – is now something you set up once.

# How to Set Up Your Chapter's Fall Dues Collection Before School Starts

Richie Spencer | 6/29/2026

> It's late June. School starts in two months. The chapters that hit 90%+ collection rates in September set things up now – here's exactly what to do.

Most treasurers wait until the week before school starts to set up fall dues. I did exactly that my first semester. We went live with the payment link three days before move-in weekend, half the chapter missed it entirely, and I spent the first month chasing people who'd already moved on from summer mode.

The chapters I've seen hit 85–90%+ collection rates in September aren't doing anything magic. They set things up early – sometimes a month before school starts.

If you're reading this in June or July, you're in the right window. Here's what to do now so September doesn't feel like a fire drill.

## Step 1: Audit Your Member Roster Before Anything Else

Before you create a single payment, clean up your member list. This step gets skipped constantly, and it causes problems the entire semester.

Go through your roster and sort members into clear categories:

- Graduated members – remove or archive them. They should not be getting fall dues requests.
- Incoming new members / fall pledges – you may not have their info yet, but note that they're incoming so you can add them during rush.
- Members who still owe from spring – flag these separately. They need a different conversation before you stack new charges on top of old ones.
- Members in good standing – your standard fall collection audience.

In [Dueflow](https://dueflow.co), member tags let you segment this cleanly. Create tags like "new member," "still owes spring," or "graduated" – then filter your view and send targeted reminders instead of blasting the whole chapter with the same message.

## Step 2: Lock In Your Dues Amount and Timeline

Fall dues decisions happen at end-of-spring chapter meetings, but that decision often doesn't get implemented until August. Move the setup earlier.

Lock in these details now:

- Dues amount – if you're raising dues, give members as much notice as possible.
- Early-bird deadline – offering $10–20 off for paying by a set date genuinely moves early collection rates.
- Standard due date – set this 2–3 weeks into the semester, not on move-in day.
- Late fee policy – whether you charge one and when it kicks in.

Set up [payment plans](https://dueflow.co/blog/payment-plans-for-fraternity-sorority-dues) from day one. A member who can't pay $600 at once might pay $150/month without complaint. Dueflow handles installment drafts automatically – no manual tracking on your end.

## Step 3: Connect Your Bank Account Before the Semester Starts

This is the step most chapters miss, and it gets worse every year as treasurer turnover increases.

Many fraternities and sororities rotate treasurers every semester or every year. The outgoing treasurer had the chapter bank account connected. The incoming treasurer – you – has to reconnect it. On platforms that use microdeposit verification, this means waiting 2–3 business days for the processor to deposit two tiny amounts into your account, then logging back in to confirm the exact cents. Banks sometimes time out. Amounts get mistyped. The process starts over.

That process often gets started in September, which means dues are already past due by the time bank verification clears.

Dueflow uses instant bank verification – you connect your chapter bank account using your online banking credentials, and it verifies in seconds. No microdeposits, no waiting period, no crossing your fingers that your bank cooperates. Get it done in July when you're not under pressure, and it's off your plate.

> Dueflow supports ACH bank transfer, credit and debit cards, Apple Pay, Google Pay, and Klarna buy-now-pay-later for dues. Members choose whatever payment method works for them at checkout. The chapter pays zero platform fees regardless of which option they pick.

## Step 4: Configure Your Reminder Schedule Before You Need It

If you wait until dues are open to set up reminders, you're already behind. Build the reminder schedule first, then open the payment.

The cadence that works for most chapters:

1. Announcement email and SMS when dues are created – members know the payment link is live.
2. Reminder 7 days before the due date.
3. Reminder 3 days before.
4. Reminder on the due date.
5. Follow-up 3 days after for anyone who missed it.

With Dueflow, you configure this once per payment. Reminders go out on that schedule automatically and stop the moment someone pays – no manual tracking, no awkward "hey did you see my last message" follow-ups required.

The psychological advantage of opening early: members who pay in advance feel ahead of the game. Members who get reminded a week before the deadline have time to plan. Members who get blindsided on move-in day resent the message.

## Step 5: Open Dues 3–4 Weeks Before They're Due

The most common mistake: opening dues the same week they're due. You create a crunch that didn't have to exist.

When you give members 3–4 weeks, you get a natural payment curve – roughly 20–30% pay immediately, another 30–40% trickle in over the next two weeks, and the remaining group needs the due-date push. That's manageable.

Open everything the same week the deadline hits, and you're sending urgent messages all at once, which reads as spam, and you have no runway to deal with disputes before balances go delinquent.

Timing guidance:

- School starts late August → open dues in late July
- School starts after Labor Day → open dues in mid-August
- Either way: set the actual due date 2–3 weeks into the semester, not before classes start

## Handling Members Who Still Owe from Spring

Don't roll spring balances into fall dues. It makes accounting messy and gives members an excuse to dispute what they owe.

Handle them separately, before fall dues open:

1. Send each person a clear statement of what they owe and why.
2. Give them a deadline to either pay in full or arrange a payment plan.
3. Be explicit about the consequence – not in good standing, excluded from housing selection, can't hold elected positions, etc.
4. Then open fall dues clean, as a separate payment.

## One Thing Worth Doing in Summer That Nobody Does

Review last semester's collection data before building fall. It takes 20 minutes and actually changes how you approach setup.

Look at:

- Overall collection rate – were there specific members or groups who consistently didn't pay on time?
- Payment method breakdown – if most members paid via bank transfer, lead with that option prominently in fall.
- When people paid – were most payments in the first week or the last two days before the deadline?

Dueflow shows all of this on your dashboard. Pull the data now so your fall setup reflects what actually happened, not what you assume.

## Common Questions

### When should I open fall dues collection?

3–4 weeks before the due date. If your due date is two weeks into the semester and school starts late August, open the payment link in late July. More lead time means more early payers and fewer last-minute scrambles.

### How do I connect the chapter bank account to Dueflow?

Dueflow uses instant bank verification. Log in to your dashboard, go to Settings, and connect your chapter's bank account using your online banking credentials. Verification completes in seconds – no microdeposits, no waiting period.

### What if a new member joins after dues are already open?

Add them to Dueflow and assign them to the existing payment. They get their own invoice and reminder schedule. You can adjust their amount or due date independently if needed for pro-rated or pledge-specific dues.

### Can members pay fraternity dues with a bank account instead of a credit card?

Yes. Dueflow supports ACH bank transfer (typically the lowest-fee option for members), credit and debit cards, Apple Pay, Google Pay, and Klarna buy-now-pay-later. Members choose at checkout – the chapter pays zero platform fees regardless of which method they pick.

### How much does Dueflow cost?

Dueflow is free for chapters and nationals – no platform fees, no per-member charges, no contracts. Members pay a small convenience fee at checkout that covers payment processing costs. [Sign up at dueflow.co](https://dueflow.co/signup).

## The Bottom Line

Fall dues collection doesn't have to be a scramble. The parts that feel stressful in September are almost all avoidable if you do thirty minutes of setup in July.

Audit your roster. Lock in your amounts. Connect your bank account. Set your reminders. Open dues 3–4 weeks early.

You'll spend less time chasing people and more time on the other forty-seven things you're supposed to be doing as treasurer.

Set up fall dues collection on [Dueflow](https://dueflow.co/signup) – it's free for chapters.

# How to Choose Fraternity or Sorority Dues Software: A Treasurer's Checklist

Santiago Schmitt | 6/22/2026

> A former fraternity treasurer's practical guide to evaluating dues software for fraternity and sorority chapters – the five criteria that matter, fee structures, payment methods, reminders, reporting, and the red flags that cost chapters money.

The first semester I was treasurer, I had no idea how to pick dues software. I asked upperclassmen, googled around, and mostly went with whatever the outgoing treasurer used. I never evaluated it. I just inherited it.

That was a mistake. The platform charged $18 per member per semester in platform fees – before any transaction fees – and the interface hadn't been meaningfully updated since before I started college. It took me until my second semester to realize how much we were leaving on the table.

If you're a new treasurer evaluating options, this is the guide I wish I'd had.

## The short answer: what fraternity and sorority treasurers should look for

Choose dues software on five criteria: (1) the chapter pays $0 in platform or per-member fees and members pay a small flat processing fee instead; (2) members can pay by bank transfer (ACH), card, Apple Pay/Google Pay and installments without creating an account or downloading an app; (3) reminders go out automatically by email and text until someone pays; (4) you get a real-time paid/unpaid dashboard with CSV and QuickBooks export; (5) there is no annual contract and you can be collecting the same day you sign up. Everything here applies equally to sorority treasurers – the vendors and fee structures are the same. The rest of this guide explains why each criterion matters and the exact questions to ask before you sign.

## Start with the fee structure

The biggest source of confusion when choosing dues software is how fees work. Every platform has a different model, and they're not always transparent about it.

There are three common structures:

**Per-member platform fees** – You pay $3–25 per member per semester, regardless of how much you collect. OmegaFi and the legacy GreekBill (now re:Members) historically used this model. For a chapter of 80 members, that's $1,400–$2,000 in platform fees per year before a single payment is processed.

**Percentage on every transaction** – A percentage of every dollar collected goes to the platform. This looks smaller upfront but compounds quickly. Some platforms add this on top of per-member fees.

**Member-paid processing fees** – The platform is free for the chapter. Members pay a small, flat processing fee when they pay, based on payment size and method (for example, $2 on an ACH payment under $100). The chapter keeps 100% of dues collected. This is how Dueflow works.

The member-paid model is almost always better for the chapter financially. Members are already paying dues – adding a small processing fee is far less costly than charging your chapter $1,400 per year in platform fees.

One nuance: some chapters prefer to absorb processing fees for ACH payments (bank transfers) to remove any friction for bank payers, while still passing card and Klarna fees through to members. Look for software that gives you this flexibility – not every platform does.

## Payment methods: more options = higher collection rates

Your members span the full spectrum of financial preferences and capabilities. Some will pay immediately with a credit card. Others want to use their bank account. A few need to split payments over the semester.

The more payment methods you offer, the fewer excuses members have to delay.

**What to look for:**

- **ACH bank transfer** – The cheapest method for members. Low processing fees, which matters if you're passing fees through.
- **Credit and debit cards** – Essential. Not every member has a linked bank account ready to go.
- **Apple Pay / Google Pay** – Removes friction for members on mobile. One tap and done.
- **Buy now, pay later (BNPL)** – Klarna and similar services let members split dues into installments. This is especially important for chapters with higher dues or members who are cash-strapped mid-semester.
- **No app download required** – Some platforms require members to create an account and download an app before paying. That's two reasons to procrastinate.

If a platform only offers card payments and ACH, you're missing a chunk of your chapter. Evaluate what your members actually use.

## Automated reminders are non-negotiable

Ask any treasurer what they spend most of their time on, and "chasing people who haven't paid" is almost always in the top three. Manual follow-up by text, GroupMe, or email takes hours every week and makes you the bad guy in your own chapter.

The right software sends reminders automatically on a schedule you set. Members who haven't paid get an email and a text. You don't have to do anything.

When evaluating software, ask:

- Can I set a reminder schedule (e.g., every 3 days until paid)?
- Does it send both email and SMS?
- Can I send manual one-off reminders to specific members?
- Does it stop reminding after payment?

If the software requires you to manually trigger each reminder, that's not automation – that's just a spreadsheet with extra steps.

## Reporting: what you actually need to see

You'll be reporting to your chapter president, your exec board, and your national organization. The reporting tools matter.

**Must-haves:**

- Real-time paid/unpaid dashboard – who owes what, right now
- Payment history per member
- Export to CSV, Excel, or QuickBooks
- Total collected vs. total outstanding

**Nice to have:**

- Early/late payment breakdowns (especially if you use tiered pricing)
- Payment method breakdown (useful for fee discussions)
- Group-level reporting (if you charge different amounts to different pledge classes)

Watch out for platforms that only let you export data at the end of a billing cycle. You need live visibility, not monthly snapshots.

## Member experience: it has to be painless

Your dues collection rate is directly tied to how easy it is to pay. If the payment flow is clunky, confusing, or requires account creation – members will put it off.

Test the member-facing payment experience before you commit to any platform. Pay a fake invoice. Go through the full checkout. Ask: is this something a non-technical college student can complete in under two minutes?

Red flags on the member side:

- Requires creating an account or downloading an app to pay
- Doesn't support mobile payments
- Shows confusing fee math that makes members feel like they're being tricked
- Checkout process has more than 3 steps

## Red flags to watch before signing

**"Call for pricing"** – If a platform won't list its fees publicly, assume they're high and negotiated. That's fine for enterprise software serving nationals with hundreds of chapters, but not for a 60-person fraternity.

**Annual contracts** – Avoid locking in for 12+ months before you've validated the platform works for your chapter. Good software doesn't need to trap you with a contract.

**Per-member fees at any level** – Even $3/member/semester adds up. At 80 members, that's $480 per year – for software you're already using to collect thousands of dollars. Compare this to a member-paid model and the math is usually obvious.

**Slow onboarding** – Some enterprise platforms require 4–6 weeks to set up. Your dues deadline isn't going to wait. Ask how fast you can be collecting payments after signing up.

**No mobile checkout** – In 2026, if your dues platform doesn't work on a phone, it's going to miss half your chapter.

## Questions to ask before you sign up

Before committing to any dues software, get answers to these:

- What does the chapter pay? Ask for the total annual cost, not just the per-member rate.
- What do members pay? Processing fees, convenience fees, BNPL fees – ask to see the exact member checkout experience.
- What payment methods are supported? ACH, card, Apple Pay, BNPL?
- Can I absorb fees for specific payment methods? (If you want to cover ACH fees but not card fees, ask.)
- How do automated reminders work? Can I set a schedule? Email and SMS?
- What does the reporting dashboard look like? Ask for a live demo, not a screenshot.
- How long does setup take? Can I be collecting payments this week?
- Is there an annual contract? What's the cancellation policy?
- What happens to my data if I switch? Can I export member records and payment history?

## The bottom line

The best fraternity dues software makes your job easier, keeps your members out of friction, and doesn't cost your chapter money it doesn't need to spend.

Start with the fee structure: if the chapter is paying per-member fees, run the math against a member-pays model. Look at payment method coverage, because more methods means more paid. Check that reminders are truly automated, not semi-manual. And test the member checkout before you commit – if it's a pain to use, your collection rate will show it.

Dueflow is free for chapters – members pay a small processing fee on each payment. You can collect via ACH, card, Apple Pay, and Klarna, and automated reminders go out by email and SMS on whatever schedule you set. If you want to see how it compares to LegFi, OmegaFi, or GreekBill, we have detailed comparisons at [dueflow.co/vs](https://dueflow.co/vs).

But whatever you choose – ask the questions. The right software takes dues collection off your plate so you can focus on the rest of the job.

## Frequently Asked Questions

### Is there a free fraternity dues software?

Yes. Dueflow is free for chapters and nationals – $0 in platform fees, no contracts, no per-member charges. Members pay a small processing fee on each payment. Several other platforms also offer free tiers, though feature depth varies.

### What's the cheapest way for members to pay dues?

ACH bank transfer typically has the lowest processing fee. On Dueflow, a member paying under $100 by ACH pays a flat $2 versus $5 by card, and the gap holds at higher amounts ($10 vs $10 + 3.3% for a $100–$399 payment). If your chapter wants to minimize member cost, encourage ACH payments – or consider absorbing the ACH fee entirely so bank payers pay nothing.

### Can I switch dues software mid-year?

Technically yes, but it's messy. Mid-year switches mean migrating payment history and re-enrolling members. The cleanest switch point is between semesters. If you want to switch, export your member list and payment records before leaving your current platform.

### Do I need a chapter bank account to use dues software?

Not necessarily. Some platforms handle banking on your behalf and can pay out to your existing chapter account. Others require a business bank account. Ask before you sign up so you're not surprised during onboarding.

# What Happens When a Member Doesn't Pay Dues? A Treasurer's Guide to Enforcement

Santiago Schmitt | 6/8/2026

> Nationals suspend members about 30 days after dues go unpaid and expel or refer to collections at 60-90 days. What your chapter can and can't do, plus a policy template.

When a member doesn't pay dues, most chapters follow an escalating timeline: automated reminders, then a personal conversation and a payment plan, then loss of chapter privileges, then a report to headquarters. National fraternities formalize this. Sigma Phi Epsilon suspends a member at 30 days late and expels at 60; Pi Kappa Phi runs a 30/60/90-day suspension-to-expulsion process for balances over $100. Chapters can restrict privileges and charge late fees that members agreed to in writing; they cannot withhold housing that has already been paid for, interfere with academics, or publicly shame the member.

Late payment is also the normal case, not the exception. Across 2,941 dues charges on Dueflow, only 49% of charges with a due date were paid on or before it, and 17.5% of the charges that eventually got paid took longer than 30 days ([Dueflow dues collection benchmarks](https://www.dueflow.co/research/dues-collection-benchmarks)). An enforcement policy is how a treasurer handles half the roster, so it needs to be written down before the semester starts.

Updated Fall 2026 benchmarks – 54% of 2,910 dated dues charges paid on time, a median late payment of 7 days, and a median chapter collection rate of 93% at 14 days – are in our [fraternity dues collection statistics](https://www.dueflow.co/blog/fraternity-dues-collection-statistics) page.

## How do national fraternities handle members who don't pay dues?

Most headquarters publish a formal delinquency process that chapters are expected to follow, and the thresholds cluster at 30 and 60 days past due:

- **Sigma Phi Epsilon –** 10% fine and a one-on-one conversation at 1 day late; a letter to the member's parents and a referral to the chapter Standards Board at 20 days; automatic suspension from all chapter activities at 30 days; automatic expulsion and referral to collections at 60 days, under Article II of the Grand Chapter Bylaws. Source: [SigEp, Collecting Membership Dues](https://sigep.org/wp-content/uploads/Link-8-Collecting-Membership-Dues-1.pdf).
- **Pi Kappa Phi –** the "30/60/90 Process." Once a member is 30 days past due on more than $100, the treasurer reports him as financially suspended through Chapter Gateway; headquarters mails the suspension notice and copies the chapter advisor. At 60 days HQ warns the member he will be expelled in 30 days; at 90 days the National Council may expel him. Source: [Pi Kappa Phi, National Financial Suspension Process](https://pikapp.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/National-Financial-Suspension-Expulsion-Process-Explanation.pdf).
- **Phi Kappa Tau –** after 60 days unpaid, the chapter holds a hearing and may suspend the member or recommend expulsion to its Board of Governors, or pursue the balance in small claims court. Members sign a dues contract up front so the debt is enforceable. Source: [Phi Kappa Tau, Collecting Overdue Accounts](http://phikappatau.wikidot.com/finance:collecting-overdue-accounts).
- **Sigma Chi –** the chapter files a Form 50 (Request for Financial Suspension) with proof of delinquency; the member is suspended from the chapter roll until fees are paid, and still owes headquarters fees for as long as he is enrolled. Leaving a non-paying member off the roll to avoid fees ("ghosting") is treated as embezzlement. Source: [Sigma Chi, Statement of Position on Ghosting](https://sigmachi.org/statement-of-position-on-ghosting/).

If your chapter belongs to a national organization, read its policy before writing your own. Local bylaws generally cannot be more lenient than the national rule, and several nationals require the chapter to report delinquent members rather than quietly carry the balance.

## Are fraternity dues legally enforceable?

Usually, yes, if the member signed something. A membership agreement or dues contract that says "I agree to pay $X by Y date" is a binding contract, which is why SigEp, Phi Kappa Tau, and most other nationals tell chapters to collect a signed agreement before the first bill goes out.

Whether it is worth enforcing in court is a different question. Most chapters are unincorporated associations or small nonprofits, and small claims court is possible but slow and rarely worth it for a single semester's dues. In practice, the enforceable levers are the ones inside the chapter: privileges, standing with headquarters, and, for large balances with a signed note, collections.

The thing that matters more than the legal theory is whether your chapter has a written policy that every member agreed to. Without one, every step below is harder.

## What can a chapter do when a member doesn't pay dues?

- **Withhold chapter privileges. **Most bylaws let the chapter restrict voting rights, event attendance, intramurals, recruitment participation, and officer eligibility for members with unpaid balances. This is the most common and most effective enforcement tool, and it is what national suspension policies formalize.
- **Apply agreed late fees. **If the dues agreement includes a late fee and members signed it, you can add it. Keep it proportional: SigEp's national guidance is a 10% fine, and a flat $25 to $50 is typical for chapter-level policies. A $200 penalty on a $1,500 bill invites a dispute.
- **Offer a payment plan. **Before escalating, offer installments. Most members who don't pay aren't refusing; a $1,500 bill is overwhelming and six $250 payments are not. Get the plan in writing (a promissory note or an in-app payment plan) so the schedule is enforceable.
- **Report to headquarters. **If you are part of a national organization, unpaid dues affect the member's national standing. Depending on the fraternity, HQ will send the notices, suspend the member, and eventually expel or bar him from alumni benefits until the balance is cleared.
- **Refer to collections, carefully. **Some nationals (SigEp at 60 days) direct chapters to send large, long-overdue balances to a collections agency. Treat this as the last step: it damages the relationship permanently and only works if the member signed an agreement that clearly states the debt.

## What can't a chapter do about unpaid dues?

- **Lock a member out of housing he has paid for. **If housing is billed separately and has been paid, you cannot withhold access over unpaid chapter dues. That is a landlord-tenant problem, and usually an illegal one.
- **Touch anything academic. **Your chapter cannot interfere with a member's education: no holding transcripts, blocking registration, or contacting professors.
- **Publicly shame or harass. **Do not post names and balances in the group chat or on social media. Several nationals allow reporting delinquent accounts inside a closed chapter meeting or to the advisor; none endorse public shaming, and it can be treated as harassment.
- **Make up rules as you go. **If your bylaws have no late-payment policy, you cannot invent one mid-semester and apply it retroactively. Whatever consequence you want to use has to be in the bylaws or the signed dues agreement before the bill goes out.

## What does a typical dues enforcement timeline look like?

A chapter policy that mirrors the national 30/60-day structure, with the softer steps front-loaded, looks like this:

### Step 1: Send automated reminders before and after the due date (days 0 to 14)

Schedule reminders before the bill is due and again a few days after. On Dueflow, charges with at least one automated reminder were paid at 65.0% versus 11.3% for charges with none ([benchmarks](https://www.dueflow.co/research/dues-collection-benchmarks)). Most "non-paying" members at this stage simply forgot.

### Step 2: Reach out personally and offer a payment plan (days 14 to 30)

If reminders don't work, the treasurer texts or calls the member directly and asks whether cost is the problem. Offer an installment plan in writing. This is the same one-on-one conversation SigEp's guidance schedules at the first late day.

### Step 3: Send a formal written notice with a deadline (days 30 to 45)

Email a formal notice that states the amount owed, any late fee, the consequences in your bylaws, and a specific date. Copy the chapter advisor. This is the record you will need if the account goes to headquarters or collections.

### Step 4: Apply the consequences in your bylaws (day 45 onward)

Suspend privileges exactly as the policy says: no voting, no social events, no recruitment, no officer eligibility. Apply it consistently to every member past the threshold, or the policy stops working for everyone.

### Step 5: Report to headquarters or refer to collections (day 60 to 90)

Follow your national's process (Pi Kappa Phi's 30/60/90 report, Sigma Chi's Form 50, SigEp's automatic expulsion at 60 days). For a chapter without a national policy, this is where a hearing, a membership decision, and, for large balances backed by a signed note, collections belong.

## What should a delinquent dues policy include?

A written policy needs five things: the due date, the late fee, the privilege threshold, the reporting threshold, and how to request a payment plan. Here is a template chapters can copy into their bylaws and adjust to their national's rules:

> Dues are payable in full on the first day of each term. A member who cannot pay in full must sign a payment plan before that date. Balances unpaid 1 day after the due date incur a late fee of [10% / $__]. A member 30 days past due is suspended from voting, social events, recruitment, and officer eligibility until the balance is paid. A member 60 days past due is reported to [national headquarters / the executive board] under [policy name], and balances over $[100] may be referred to collections with the member's signed agreement as documentation. Payment plans are available to any member on request and are recorded in writing.

Vote it in before the semester starts, have every member sign it with the dues agreement, and re-read it at the first chapter meeting each term.

## How do you prevent non-payment in the first place?

Enforcement is expensive in time and goodwill. Prevention is cheaper:

- **Make payment easy. **Accept cards, ACH bank transfer, and Apple Pay. On Dueflow, members split almost evenly between ACH (49.4%) and card (49.2%), so a card-only or Venmo-only process turns away half the roster's preferred method.
- **Offer payment plans up front. **Offer installments when you send the invoice, not after someone falls behind.
- **Show what dues pay for. **Send the budget breakdown with the bill. Members who know where the money goes push back less.
- **Decide who pays processing fees. **Dueflow lets the chapter choose whether members or the chapter cover processing fees. Absorbing the fee removes one more reason to delay.
- **Set expectations early. **Communicate the due date, the late fee, the suspension threshold, and how to request a plan at the start of every term, in writing.

## The bottom line

National fraternities already agree on the shape of the answer: reminders and a conversation first, privileges suspended around 30 days, headquarters involved around 60, and collections or expulsion only for large, documented balances. Write that timeline into your bylaws, get it signed, and let software handle the reminders so the treasurer only steps in for the members who actually need a conversation.

# Should Members or the Chapter Pay Payment Processing Fees? Here's How to Decide

Sam Cooper | 6/1/2026

> Most billing software forces you to choose: pass fees to members or absorb them yourself. Dueflow now lets you pick–or switch between both models as your needs change.

When I was treasurer, one of the most common questions I got was: "Why do I have to pay an extra fee on top of my dues?"

It's a fair question. Credit card processors, ACH networks, and digital wallets all charge fees to move money. Someone has to pay them. The question is: who?

Most fraternity and sorority billing software passes these fees directly to members as a convenience fee. Member owes $500 in dues? They pay $500 + processing fees (usually 2-3%). The chapter gets exactly $500.

But some chapters want to offer a cleaner experience – no surcharges, no line items at checkout, just the amount members expect to pay. They're willing to absorb the fees themselves in exchange for simpler billing and happier members.

Until recently, most software gave you one option or the other. You picked a platform, and you were stuck with their fee model.

Today, we're changing that. Dueflow now lets you choose.

## Two Models, One Platform

When you set up your organization in Dueflow, you can now pick between two payment fee models:

### Member Pays Fees (Default)

This is how most billing software works, and it's the model we started with:

- Member is charged their dues amount **plus** a convenience fee
- Chapter receives the full dues amount
- Reconciliation happens automatically – no guesswork on what you'll actually receive

**Example:** Member owes $500. At checkout, they pay $515 ($500 + $15 processing fee). Your chapter receives $500.

**Best for:** Chapters that want predictable income and guaranteed receipt of the full dues amount. This is especially common for chapters with tight budgets or strict nationals reporting requirements.

### Chapter Absorbs Fees (New)

Now you can flip the model:

- Member is charged their dues amount only – no surcharge
- Chapter receives the dues amount **minus** processing fees
- Cleaner member experience, but the chapter gives up the "ask $X, get $X" guarantee

**Example:** Member owes $500. At checkout, they pay exactly $500. Your chapter receives ~$485 (after fees are deducted).

**Best for:** Chapters that prioritize member experience over exact revenue targeting, or chapters with flexible budgets that can absorb a small percentage hit on each payment.

## Why We Built This

We talked to dozens of treasurers over the past few months. Some loved the simplicity of passing fees to members – it meant budgets were predictable and nationals got the exact numbers they expected.

But others told us their members complained about the surcharges. They wanted to offer a seamless payment experience, even if it meant the chapter ate the cost. Especially for smaller payments (store purchases, event tickets), the fee breakdown felt clunky.

We realized there's no one-size-fits-all answer. It depends on your chapter's priorities, budget flexibility, and member expectations.

So we made it a toggle. You decide.

## How It Works

The fee mode is set at the organization level in your profile settings. When you create a new payment (dues, reimbursement, store order, etc.), Dueflow snapshots the mode for that payment.

That means:

- **Switching modes only affects new payments** – existing payments keep their original fee structure. This is critical for receipts, refunds, and reconciliation.
- **You can experiment** – flip it on for a semester, see how your members respond, flip it back if needed. Past payments won't be affected.
- **No mixed mode at checkout** – if a member is paying multiple things at once (dues + event ticket), all items need the same fee mode. Otherwise we'd show conflicting breakdowns.

The UI makes it clear what each mode means, with confirmation dialogs when you switch. We default to and bias toward "member pays" because it's what most chapters expect and what nationals typically require. But if you want to absorb fees, the option is there.

## What About Reconciliation?

When a member pays via Whop (our payment processor), we normally reconcile the payment by topping up your connected account with the exact dues amount. That's how we guarantee you get what you asked for, even when members pay with credit cards or Klarna.

In "chapter absorbs fees" mode, we skip reconciliation. The member's payment lands in your account as-is, minus all fees. You're accepting the variability in exchange for a cleaner member experience.

For most chapters, this is fine – the fee difference is small (2-3% on most transactions). But if you rely on exact revenue targeting (e.g., you budget for exactly $50,000 in dues and nationals audits to the penny), stick with "member pays."

## How Much Do Fees Cost, Anyway?

Here's a rough breakdown of what you'll pay in processing fees, depending on payment method:

- **ACH / bank transfer:** 1% capped at $5 (cheapest)
- **Debit card:** ~2.2%
- **Credit card:** ~2.9% + $0.30
- **Klarna (buy now, pay later):** ~4-6%
- **Apple Pay:** ~2.9% + $0.30 (same as credit card)

Dueflow doesn't mark up these fees – we pass through the processor's cost directly. Our revenue comes from the platform fee (a small percentage on top), not from fee padding.

If you absorb fees, factor in an average of 2.5-3% loss per payment when budgeting. For a $500 payment, that's $12.50-$15. For a $50 event ticket, it's $1.25-$1.50.

## Should You Absorb Fees?

Here's how to decide:

**Absorb fees if:**

- You want the simplest possible member experience
- Your budget has flexibility to absorb 2-3% variability
- You're competing with other chapters and want to stand out
- You're selling low-cost items where surcharges feel disproportionate (e.g., $3 ticket + $0.40 fee)
- Your members consistently complain about fees

**Pass fees to members if:**

- You need predictable, guaranteed revenue
- Nationals requires exact dues amounts with zero variance
- Your budget is tight and 2-3% makes a difference
- You want to educate members that payment processing costs money
- Most of your competitors do the same (so members expect it)

For most chapters, "member pays" is the safer default. But if you have the budget flexibility and want to differentiate on member experience, absorbing fees can be a powerful move.

## How to Switch

If you're using Dueflow:

1. Go to your profile settings
2. Scroll to "Payment Fee Mode"
3. Choose "Chapter absorbs fees"
4. Confirm in the dialog (we make sure you know what you're signing up for)
5. Create a new payment – members will now see the bare amount with no surcharge

That's it. Flip it back anytime if you change your mind.

## The Bottom Line

There's no universal right answer. Some chapters swear by passing fees to members (guaranteed revenue, predictable budgets). Others prefer absorbing fees (cleaner UX, happier members).

The best model is the one that fits **your** chapter's priorities and budget. Now you can choose without switching platforms.

# Financial Controls for Fraternities and Sororities: How to Prevent Fraud and Protect Your Chapter

Richie Spencer | 5/18/2026

> Strong financial controls prevent fraud, protect treasurers, and build member trust. Learn 8 practical strategies to implement audit trails, separation of duties, and transparency in your chapter.

When I was treasurer, one of my biggest fears wasn't forgetting to collect dues or messing up the budget – it was the possibility of someone questioning where the money went. Or worse, someone on the exec board taking money that wasn't theirs.

It sounds dramatic, but it happens more often than you'd think. A quick search for "fraternity treasurer embezzlement" pulls up real cases where treasurers (or other officers) misused chapter funds – sometimes thousands of dollars. And even if your chapter has never had an issue, implementing strong financial controls protects everyone: the treasurer, the exec board, and the membership.

Here's how to set up a system that prevents fraud, maintains accountability, and gives everyone peace of mind.

## Why Financial Controls Matter

Financial controls aren't just about preventing theft. They're about:

- **Protecting the treasurer**: If money goes missing and there's no paper trail, the treasurer is often blamed – even if they didn't do anything wrong.
- **Building member trust**: When members can see where their dues are going, they're more likely to pay on time and stay engaged.
- **National compliance**: Many nationals require chapters to maintain accurate financial records and have oversight processes in place.
- **Audit readiness**: If your chapter undergoes an internal or external audit (which happens more often than you'd expect), you need clean records and a clear chain of custody for funds.

Without these safeguards, even honest mistakes can look suspicious.

## The Core Principles of Financial Controls

Good financial controls follow three basic principles:

### 1. Separation of Duties

No single person should have complete control over chapter finances. At minimum:

- The person who approves expenses should NOT be the same person who processes payments.
- The person who collects dues should NOT be the only one with access to bank accounts.
- The treasurer should report to the exec board regularly, not operate in a silo.

**Example**: If your treasurer approves a reimbursement request, another officer (VP, president, or financial advisor) should review and process the actual payout. If one person does both, there's no check on fraudulent or mistaken payments.

### 2. Documentation

Every financial transaction – no matter how small – should have a record. That means:

- Receipts for all reimbursements
- Written records of who authorized each payment
- Bank statements reconciled monthly
- Meeting minutes documenting budget approvals and major expenses

When I was treasurer, I kept a shared Google Sheet where every single transaction was logged with a date, amount, category, and who requested it. It took 2 minutes per transaction, but it saved hours during budget reviews.

### 3. Transparency

Members should be able to see where their dues are going. This doesn't mean publishing your bank statements, but it does mean:

- Quarterly financial reports at chapter meetings
- Budget breakdowns available to all members
- Clear communication about major expenses

When members trust the process, payment rates go up and drama goes down.

## 8 Practical Financial Controls for Your Chapter

### 1. Require Two Signatures for Large Expenses

Set a threshold (e.g., $500 or $1,000) where any expense above that amount requires approval from two officers. This prevents a single person from making a major purchase without oversight.

**How to implement**: Add this as a bylaw or financial policy. Use a digital approval workflow where the treasurer submits the expense and the president/VP approves before payment goes out.

### 2. Limit Who Has Bank Account Access

Only 2-3 officers should have direct access to chapter bank accounts. Typically:

- Treasurer (primary)
- President or VP (secondary)
- Chapter advisor or national rep (oversight)

Everyone else should submit reimbursement requests rather than pulling funds directly.

### 3. Reconcile Bank Statements Monthly

At the end of every month, compare your internal records (spreadsheet, accounting software, or platform) against your bank statement. Every transaction should match.

If something doesn't line up – even a $10 discrepancy – figure it out before moving forward. Small errors compound, and unreconciled accounts are a red flag in audits.

### 4. Use Digital Payments for Audit Trails

Cash and personal checks are hard to track. When possible:

- Collect dues via ACH, card, or payment platform (not Venmo or cash at meetings)
- Process reimbursements via bank transfer or platform payout (not cash or personal Venmo)
- Keep a digital record of every transaction

Paper trails matter. If you pay someone $200 in cash for a party expense, get a signed receipt. Otherwise, it's your word against theirs if someone questions it.

### 5. Set Spending Limits by Category

Your chapter should have a budget with line items (e.g., social events, philanthropy, house maintenance). Set spending limits for each category, and require exec board approval to exceed them.

**Example**: If your social budget is $5,000 for the semester and you've already spent $4,800, the treasurer should flag this before approving another $500 bar tab. Without category limits, it's easy to overspend in one area and shortchange others.

### 6. Document Reimbursement Requests

Every reimbursement should include:

- Itemized receipt
- Written justification (what was purchased and why)
- Approval from the treasurer or another officer
- Confirmation that payment was sent

I used a Google Form for reimbursement requests. Members filled it out, uploaded a photo of the receipt, and the form automatically logged everything in a spreadsheet. It took 30 seconds for them and saved me hours of chasing people down.

### 7. Conduct Regular Financial Reviews

At the end of each semester (or at least once a year), have someone outside the treasury role review the books. This could be:

- A chapter advisor
- A national HQ rep
- An accountant (if your chapter can afford it)
- Another officer who understands basic accounting

This isn't an accusation – it's a standard practice in any organization that handles money. The treasurer should welcome it, because it protects them from false accusations.

### 8. Rotate Responsibilities During Transitions

When a new treasurer takes over, the outgoing treasurer should:

- Walk them through the current state of finances (balances, outstanding dues, pending expenses)
- Transfer access to bank accounts, payment platforms, and accounting tools
- Provide a written summary of any ongoing issues (e.g., members with overdue payments, pending reimbursements)
- Stick around for the first month to answer questions

Too many chapters do a 5-minute handoff and wonder why the new treasurer is lost. A clean transition reduces errors and prevents things from falling through the cracks.

## How Technology Helps

A lot of these controls are easier when you use modern tools instead of spreadsheets and cash boxes. Here's what to look for:

- **Audit logs**: Every action (payment sent, reimbursement approved) should be timestamped and tied to a specific user. If someone asks "who authorized this?", you should be able to pull it up in 10 seconds.
- **Multi-approver workflows**: For large expenses or sensitive actions, require two people to sign off before money moves.
- **Real-time tracking**: Members should be able to log in and see their payment status, outstanding balance, and transaction history. Less "did you get my payment?" emails.
- **Bank-level security**: Two-factor authentication, role-based permissions, and encrypted storage should be standard.

When I was treasurer, we used a basic payment platform that had none of this. I spent hours manually tracking payments in a spreadsheet and answering the same questions over and over. A better system would've saved time and reduced stress.

(Full disclosure: Dueflow has all of these features. But even if you use something else, make sure it has audit logs and permissions – those are non-negotiable.)

## Red Flags to Watch For

Even with strong controls, keep an eye out for warning signs:

- **Vague or missing receipts**: If someone submits a reimbursement request without an itemized receipt, ask for one. "I bought stuff for the party" isn't documentation.
- **Unusual payment patterns**: If a member suddenly has a lot of "emergency" reimbursements or the same vendor keeps getting paid without clear justification, investigate.
- **Reluctance to share records**: If the treasurer (or another officer) resists providing financial updates or bank statements, that's a red flag.
- **Cash-heavy operations**: If most transactions are in cash, it's harder to track and easier to manipulate.

Trust your gut. If something feels off, ask questions.

## What to Do If Fraud Happens

If you discover (or suspect) financial misconduct:

1. **Document everything**: Take screenshots, save emails, print bank statements. You'll need evidence.
2. **Loop in the chapter advisor and national HQ immediately**: This is above exec board pay grade. Nationals have protocols for handling this.
3. **Freeze access**: If someone is suspected of stealing, remove their access to bank accounts and payment platforms immediately.
4. **Don't confront the person privately**: This is a legal issue, not a "talk it out" situation. Let nationals handle it.
5. **Communicate with the chapter carefully**: Avoid making accusations publicly until you have facts. False allegations can destroy reputations.

Fraud cases are messy, but acting quickly and following proper channels protects the chapter and ensures the issue is handled fairly.

## Final Thoughts

Setting up financial controls isn't about accusing anyone of wrongdoing – it's about protecting everyone involved. A good system makes it impossible for fraud to happen unnoticed and makes it easy to prove that everything was handled correctly.

When I was treasurer, I wished someone had explained this stuff on day one. Instead, I figured it out the hard way, after a few close calls and a lot of unnecessary stress.

If you're a new treasurer, start with the basics: separation of duties, documentation, and transparency. If you're an outgoing treasurer, set your successor up for success by leaving clean records and a clear process.

Your chapter's finances are too important to wing it.

# How to Handle Chapter Reimbursements: A Complete Guide for Fraternity and Sorority Treasurers

Sam Cooper | 4/27/2026

> Stop tracking reimbursements in your head. Learn how to build a reimbursement system that is fair, fast, and actually gets members paid back on time.

When I was treasurer, one of the most frustrating parts of the job wasn't collecting dues – it was tracking who was owed money. A brother would buy pizza for a chapter meeting, someone else would grab supplies for an event, and suddenly I had a stack of Venmo requests and receipts to reconcile.

The worst part? Members would wait weeks (sometimes months) to submit receipts. I'd lose track of who I'd already paid back. Some brothers would give up and eat the cost rather than chase me down. It was messy, unfair, and completely avoidable.

If you're managing chapter reimbursements through Venmo, spreadsheets, or just memory, this guide will show you a better way.

## The Traditional Reimbursement Nightmare

Here's how most chapters handle reimbursements:

1. Member fronts money for chapter expense

2. Member texts treasurer with receipt photo

3. Treasurer writes it down (maybe)

4. Member follows up multiple times

5. Treasurer Venmos them back (hopefully)

6. Treasurer updates spreadsheet (probably not)

The problems:

- No central tracking – receipts arrive via text, email, DM, or crumpled paper
- Delayed payments – treasurers are busy, follow-ups are awkward
- No audit trail – good luck proving who got paid what at semester end
- Lost money – members give up and absorb costs they shouldn't

When reimbursements are this painful, one of two things happens:

1. Members stop volunteering to buy things (bad for the chapter)

2. Members buy things anyway and resent the treasurer (bad for everyone)

## A Better Reimbursement System

Whether you're using software or staying manual, here are the principles of a good reimbursement process:

### 1. Set a clear policy

Your chapter needs to answer these questions up front:

What gets reimbursed?

- Pre-approved purchases only, or anything reasonable?
- What's the dollar limit without approval?
- Are there categories you don't reimburse (personal items, alcohol)?

What documentation is required?

- Receipt photo? Itemized vs. summary?
- Description of what was purchased and why?
- Approval from what officer (president, treasurer, social chair)?

What's the timeline?

- How long do members have to submit receipts?
- How quickly will they be paid back?
- What happens to late submissions?

Example policy:

> "Any chapter expense under $100 can be reimbursed with a photo of the itemized receipt and a brief description. Expenses over $100 require pre-approval from the treasurer. Submit receipts within 7 days of purchase. Reimbursements are processed every Sunday night."

Put this in your bylaws or treasurer handbook. Share it in your chapter chat at the start of each semester.

### 2. Centralize reimbursement requests

Don't let members submit receipts via text, email, DM, and paper. Pick one channel and stick to it.

Manual option: Google Form

- Fields: Name, date, amount, description, receipt upload
- Form submissions go to a shared spreadsheet
- Treasurer reviews weekly

Software option: Dueflow

- Members submit reimbursements directly in the member portal
- Includes receipt upload, description, and automatic tracking
- Treasurer approves and processes in one click
- No Venmo/PayPal needed – money goes straight to their account

### 3. Make it easy to submit

The harder it is to request a reimbursement, the less likely members will do it (and the more likely they'll resent you for making them jump through hoops).

Keep it simple:

- One-click submission (no five-page forms)
- Mobile-friendly (they're submitting from their phone)
- Clear instructions (what info do you actually need?)

### 4. Pay promptly

Nothing kills trust faster than slow reimbursements. Set a schedule and stick to it:

- Weekly processing – review and pay every Sunday night
- Same-day for emergencies – if someone fronted $300 for an event, pay them back ASAP
- Communicate delays – if you can't process this week, say so

Members shouldn't have to chase you. If they submitted everything correctly, payment should be automatic.

### 5. Track everything

At semester end, you need to prove:

- Who got reimbursed
- For what
- How much
- When

If you're doing this manually, maintain a reimbursement log:

- Date submitted
- Member name
- Amount
- Description
- Receipt link/photo
- Date paid
- Payment method (Venmo, check, etc.)

If you're using software, this should all be automatic. Export a full reimbursement report for your records.

## How Dueflow Handles Reimbursements

Most treasury software makes you Venmo or PayPal members separately after logging the reimbursement. Dueflow built it differently.

When a member requests a reimbursement:

1. They submit the amount, description, and receipt photo

2. Treasurer approves it

3. Money goes directly to the member's bank account or debit card

4. The transaction shows up in your chapter's financial reports automatically

No Venmo. No separate payment. No tracking who you've paid vs. who's still waiting.

Reimbursements flow the same way dues do – through the platform, trackable, auditable, done.

## Common Reimbursement Scenarios

### Scenario 1: Event supplies

Situation: Social chair buys decorations for a mixer ($87)

Traditional way:

- Social chair texts you a receipt photo
- You write it down
- They follow up three times
- You Venmo them a week later
- You forget to log it

Better way:

- Social chair submits reimbursement via Google Form or Dueflow
- You approve it
- They get paid on your next processing day (or immediately if using Dueflow)
- It's logged automatically

### Scenario 2: Food for chapter meeting

Situation: Member picks up pizza for Monday chapter ($120)

Traditional way:

- They Venmo request you
- You approve it in the app
- You forget to reconcile it against your chapter budget
- Your books are off by $120 at month-end

Better way:

- Submit as reimbursement with description "Chapter meeting food - 10/16"
- Logged against "Chapter Meetings" budget category
- Paid and reconciled automatically

### Scenario 3: Bulk purchases across multiple events

Situation: Rush chair fronts $800 for multiple rush events

Traditional way:

- They submit receipts piecemeal
- You lose track of what's been reimbursed
- They're out $800 for three weeks
- They're understandably annoyed

Better way:

- Approve the budget up front
- Rush chair submits receipts as they come
- Each one gets paid within days
- Total spend tracked against rush budget

## Red Flags to Watch For

Problem: Members submitting personal expenses

- Solution: Require itemized receipts and descriptions. If it doesn't benefit the chapter, it doesn't get reimbursed.

Problem: Duplicate submissions

- Solution: Assign each reimbursement a unique ID. Check before paying.

Problem: Receipts with no context

- Solution: Require a description field. "$47 at Target" doesn't tell you anything. "$47 - craft supplies for rush event" does.

Problem: Members abusing the system

- Solution: Cap reimbursements at a reasonable amount without pre-approval. Require officer sign-off for large expenses.

## What to Do If You're Behind

If you've got a backlog of unpaid reimbursements:

1. Acknowledge it – send a message: "I know I'm behind on reimbursements. Working through them this week."

2. Prioritize by size – pay the big ones first (they hurt the most)

3. Set a deadline – "All pending reimbursements will be processed by Friday"

4. Fix the system – implement a better process so it doesn't happen again

Members will forgive being paid late once. They won't forgive being ignored.

## The Bottom Line

Good reimbursement systems:

- Make it easy to submit
- Process payments quickly
- Track everything automatically
- Don't rely on treasurer memory

Bad reimbursement systems:

- Require members to chase you
- Involve multiple tools (form → spreadsheet → Venmo → manual log)
- Lose receipts
- Create friction for people helping the chapter

If members are fronting money for chapter expenses, paying them back promptly isn't a favor – it's your job as treasurer.

Whether you build a manual system with forms and spreadsheets or use software like Dueflow to automate it, the key is this: make it easier to get reimbursed than to give up and eat the cost.

Your members will thank you. Your budget will be cleaner. And you'll avoid the Sunday night panic of "wait, did I already pay him back?"

Ready to stop tracking reimbursements in your head? Dueflow handles member reimbursements, dues collection, and financial reporting in one place – so you can stop juggling Venmo, spreadsheets, and guilt. Try it free.

# How to Run a Fraternity Chapter Budget: Create It, Track It, and Close It (2026 Guide for Fraternity and Sorority Treasurers)

Richie Spencer | 4/20/2026

> How to run a fraternity or sorority chapter budget: build it from scratch with real examples and templates, then track actuals against it every month, reconcile, and re-forecast mid-semester.

How do you run a fraternity chapter budget? Build it first – list your revenue sources (dues, initiation fees, social fees, fundraising), review last year's actual spending, project next year's revenue at a realistic 85-90% dues collection rate, estimate expenses by category, build a semester-by-semester spreadsheet, and present it for chapter buy-in – then run it: track actuals against the budget every month, reconcile, investigate any line more than 10% off, and re-forecast mid-semester. The same process works for sorority chapters. This guide walks through each step with real numbers and examples.

As a financial advisor for my fraternity, I inherited a messy spreadsheet with cryptic line items and zero documentation. I had no idea where the money was going, why we kept running out mid-semester, or how much we'd need for next year.

Sound familiar?

Most new treasurers get handed the role with little training and even less guidance on how to actually build a budget. You're expected to figure out how much to charge for dues, where the money goes, and how to keep the chapter solvent – all while managing your own coursework and chapter responsibilities.

Here's the truth: a good budget isn't just a requirement for nationals. It's the difference between a chapter that scrambles for cash all year and one that plans ahead, funds the experiences members care about, and avoids financial surprises.

This guide will walk you through exactly how to create a chapter budget from scratch, with real examples and practical advice from someone who's been there.

## Why Does Your Chapter Need a Real Budget?

A budget is more than a spreadsheet you submit to nationals once a year. It's a roadmap for your chapter's financial health.

Without a budget, you're flying blind. You don't know if you can afford that formal, whether dues are high enough to cover operations, or if unexpected expenses will blow up your semester. With a budget, you can plan for the entire year, communicate clearly with members about where their money goes, and make informed decisions about what the chapter can actually afford.

Here's what a solid budget gives you:

**Predictability.** You know what's coming. No surprises when the house bill arrives or when you need to pay for a mixer.

**Accountability.** Members can see where their dues go. Nationals can see you're managing funds responsibly. You can prove the chapter isn't just winging it.

**Better decision-making.** When someone proposes a new event or expense, you can check the budget and give a real answer – not a guess.

**Less stress.** You're not constantly checking the balance to see if there's enough money. You planned for this.

When I finally sat down and built a real budget, it changed everything. I stopped stressing about whether we could afford things and started making decisions based on actual numbers.

## Step 1: Understand Your Budget Categories

Every chapter's budget is different, but most fall into a few core categories:

### Revenue (Money In)

- **Dues** – the main source of funding for most chapters. Usually charged per member per semester.
- **Initiation fees** – one-time fees for new members.
- **Social fees** – additional charges for specific events (formals, date parties, etc.).
- **Fundraising** – revenue from chapter fundraisers, alumni donations, or philanthropy events.
- **Fines** – though not a primary revenue source, some chapters collect fines for missed meetings or rule violations.

Why the dues line matters more than any other: most fraternity and sorority chapters are tax-exempt as 501(c)(7) social clubs (often under their national organization's group exemption), and the IRS ties that status to where the money comes from. In its [requirements for exemption](https://www.irs.gov/charities-non-profits/other-non-profits/social-clubs-requirements-for-exemption-support-by-membership-dues), the IRS puts it plainly:

> “A social club must be supported by membership fees, dues, and assessments. A section 501(c)(7) organization may receive up to 35 percent of its gross receipts, including investment income, from sources outside of its membership without losing its tax-exempt status.”

In practice, that means dues have to carry the budget. Fundraisers, alumni gifts, and outside rentals can supplement it, but if you find yourself planning for a third or more of your revenue to come from non-members, talk to your national office or advisor before you finalize the budget.

### Expenses (Money Out)

#### Operations

- National dues and fees
- Insurance
- Administrative costs (bank fees, software subscriptions, etc.)
- Officer stipends or scholarships (if applicable)

#### Housing

- Rent or mortgage
- Utilities (water, electric, gas, internet)
- Maintenance and repairs
- Cleaning services
- Furnishings

#### Social Events

- Mixers and date parties
- Formals and semi-formals
- Tailgates and game days
- Brotherhood/sisterhood events

#### Philanthropy

- Event costs (venue, supplies, marketing)
- Donations to charity partners

#### Recruitment

- Rush week events
- Marketing materials (shirts, banners, flyers)
- Venue rentals
- Food and beverages

#### Other

- Intramurals and sports teams
- Greek Week participation
- T-shirts and apparel
- Chapter retreats
- Academic resources (study materials, tutoring)

Your chapter might not have all of these, or you might have additional categories (like a scholarship fund or composite photos). The key is to list out every place money comes from and every place it goes.

## Step 2: Review Last Year's Actual Spending

Don't start from zero. Pull your chapter's financial records from the last 1-2 years and see what you actually spent.

This is the same advice national treasurer manuals give. Psi Upsilon's [Handbook for Chapter Finance](https://psiu.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/10/handbook_for_chapter_finance.pdf) tells new treasurers:

> “It is good to practice to start by developing expense items, first. Look to past chapter expenditures as a starting point.”

Look at:

- Bank statements
- Payment processor records (if you use Dueflow, Stripe, or another platform)
- Receipts and invoices
- Old budget spreadsheets (if they exist)

For each category, calculate:

- **Total spent last year**
- **Average per semester**
- **Highest month** (to identify cash flow crunch points)

If your chapter doesn't have clean records, do your best to reconstruct it. Talk to the previous treasurer, check email receipts, or review Venmo/Zelle transactions if that's how members paid.

The goal isn't perfection – it's getting a realistic baseline. You need to know what "normal" looks like before you can plan for next year.

## Step 3: Project Revenue for Next Year

Now estimate how much money will come in.

### Dues Revenue

Start with membership numbers. How many active members do you expect next year? Be realistic – factor in expected graduations, new members from recruitment, and potential drops.

Multiply your membership count by your per-member dues:

**Total Dues Revenue = # of Members × Dues per Member**

Example:

- 80 active members
- $600 per semester in dues
- **Expected revenue: $48,000/semester** (or $96,000/year if you collect both fall and spring)

If you're considering a dues increase, model it out. What would an extra $50/semester per member generate? Is that enough to cover the new expense you're planning for?

### Other Revenue

- **Initiation fees:** Estimate how many new members you'll initiate. Multiply by your per-member initiation fee.
- **Fundraising:** Be conservative here. If you raised $5,000 last year through fundraisers, budget for $4,000 unless you have a concrete plan to do more.
- **Social fees:** If you charge extra for formals or other events, estimate attendance and multiply by the fee.

**Don't overestimate revenue.** It's better to underpromise and have extra cash than to budget for money that doesn't materialize.

Mississippi State University's Office of Fraternity and Sorority Life gives the same rule in its [best practices for chapter finances](https://www.greeks.msstate.edu/best-practices-chapter-finances): “Budget on the side of conservatism when calculating income (dues & fundraising).”

The numbers back this up. In [Dueflow's dues collection benchmarks](https://www.dueflow.co/research/dues-collection-benchmarks) (3,772 dues charges from 41 chapters), only 37.9% of charges that had reached their due date were paid on time, the median charge was paid 12.6 days after it was issued, and 17% of paid charges took longer than a month. Budgeting as if every dollar of dues arrives in week one means budgeting against less than a third of your roster. Plan cash flow around late payment, and use early-bird pricing if you need money in the door on time: charges with an early-bird discount were paid on time 58.8% of the time versus 37.9% overall.

## Step 4: Estimate Expenses for Next Year

Go category by category and estimate what you'll spend.

For **fixed expenses** (things that cost the same every month or semester):

- National dues
- Insurance
- Rent/mortgage
- Software subscriptions

Use last year's numbers and adjust for known price increases.

For **variable expenses** (things that change based on activity):

- Social events
- Recruitment
- Philanthropy

Estimate based on your planned calendar. If you're hosting three mixers this semester instead of two, budget accordingly.

For **one-time expenses**:

- New furniture
- Composite photos
- Renovations

Add these in the semester they'll happen.

**Add a 10% buffer.** Things cost more than you think. Venues raise prices, attendance is higher than expected, or last-minute expenses pop up. Build in cushion.

## Step 5: Build Your Budget Spreadsheet

Now put it all together in a spreadsheet.

Build it for the whole year, not one semester at a time. Psi Upsilon's handbook describes the proper procedure as: “Develop a Budget for the entire year, then break the budget down by calendar quarters.” The semester columns below do the same job for schools on a semester calendar.

I recommend a simple layout:

### Column A: Category

### Column B: Fall Semester Budget

### Column C: Spring Semester Budget

### Column D: Annual Total

Example structure:

Your net should be positive or at least break-even. If you're in the red, you need to either:

- Increase dues
- Cut expenses
- Raise more funds

## Step 6: Present and Get Buy-In

Your budget isn't done until the chapter approves it.

Most national organizations write this approval step into the treasurer's job description. Sigma Chi's [officer guide for the Quaestor](https://toolbox.sigmachi.org/officers/quaestor) (its chapter treasurer) describes the role as “preparing the budget before the start of the chapter’s fiscal year and presenting it to the chapter’s executive committee, members and advisors for approval.” Check your own organization's bylaws for who has to sign off and by when.

Schedule a budget presentation at a chapter meeting. Walk through:1. **Where the money comes from** (dues, fees, fundraising)2. **Where it goes** (operations, housing, social, philanthropy)3. **Why dues are set at this level** (show the math)4. **What members get for their money** (events, experiences, operations)

Be transparent. Show the spreadsheet. Answer questions. If members understand where their dues go, they're more likely to pay on time and less likely to complain.

If the budget requires a dues increase, explain why. Show what's driving the increase (higher insurance, more events, rising housing costs) and what members get in return.

## Step 7: Track Actual vs. Budget Throughout the Year

A budget is only useful if you actually track it.

At least once a month, compare your actual spending to your budget:

- Are you over or under in any category?
- Do you need to reallocate funds?
- Are you on track to hit your revenue targets?

If you're using Dueflow, you can track payments and member accounts in real time. You'll know exactly how much has been collected, who still owes, and what your current balance is – without manual spreadsheet updates.

If actual spending diverges significantly from the budget, adjust. Budgets aren't set in stone. They're tools to help you manage, not rules you follow blindly.

How much divergence is significant? Sigma Chi's [Quaestor Manual](https://sigmachi.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/Quaestor_Manual.pdf) gives a concrete threshold:

> “As a general rule, income or expenditures that are off budget by more than 10 percent need to be examined and the reason for discrepancy determined.”

Ten percent is a good default for any chapter: under it, note the variance and move on; over it, find out why before the next chapter meeting.

## How do you run a fraternity chapter budget month to month?

Running a fraternity chapter budget, once it is approved, is a monthly cycle: reconcile the bank and dues-platform balances to the books, compare actual revenue and spending to the budget line by line, flag any line more than 10 percent off and find out why, report the results to the executive board and your chapter advisor, and reallocate or adjust dues before the next semester if the gap will not close on its own. Collect dues on a published schedule with automatic reminders so the revenue side of the budget arrives when the expense side needs it.

A simple operating rhythm most chapters can keep: reconcile and update the actuals column in the first week of every month, review the variance report at the first executive board meeting, present a one-page summary at chapter, and do a full mid-semester re-forecast after the dues deadline passes. The seven steps above build the budget; this cycle is what keeps it real through the year.

## What Are the Most Common Chapter Budgeting Mistakes?

**Mistake 1: Forgetting about timing.**You might have enough revenue for the year, but if dues come in during October and your biggest expenses are in September, you'll have a cash flow problem. Stagger payments or build a cash reserve.

**Mistake 2: Not planning for nationals.**National dues, insurance, and fees are often due in specific months. Make sure you have the cash on hand when those bills arrive.

**Mistake 3: Underestimating social events.**Venues, catering, transportation – they all cost more than you think. Add that 10% buffer.

**Mistake 4: Ignoring small recurring expenses.**$20/month for a software subscription doesn't sound like much, but it adds up to $240/year. Account for everything.

**Mistake 5: Setting dues too low.**It's tempting to keep dues low to make membership affordable, but if your budget doesn't cover your expenses, you'll either run out of money or have to hit members with surprise fees mid-semester. Better to charge realistic dues upfront.

## How Does Dueflow Help with Chapter Budgeting?

Budgeting is easier when you have real-time data.

Dueflow tracks every payment, shows who's paid and who hasn't, and gives you an up-to-date balance at any time. No more digging through bank statements or reconciling spreadsheets.

You can:

- See exactly how much has been collected in dues
- Track payment plans and partial payments
- Monitor outstanding balances
- Export financial data for reporting to nationals or your executive board

When you know where you stand financially, it's easier to stick to the budget and make informed decisions.

## Final Thoughts

Building a budget doesn't have to be complicated. Start with what you spent last year, adjust for next year's plans, and track your progress as you go.

A good budget gives you control. You'll stop reacting to financial surprises and start making deliberate choices about how your chapter spends its money. Your members will trust you more, nationals will have confidence in your chapter, and you'll sleep better knowing the finances are under control.

And when it's time to hand off the treasurer role next year, you'll leave behind a real financial roadmap – not the messy spreadsheet you inherited.

# End-of-Semester Treasurer Checklist: How to Close Out Your Chapter's Books

Santiago Schmitt | 4/13/2026

> The complete guide to closing out your chapter's finances at the end of the semester. From final dues collection to budget reconciliation, transition docs, and everything treasurers need to finish strong.

Spring semester wraps up in a few weeks. If you're treasurer, you know what's coming: finals, move-out, and somehow reconciling months of payments before everyone scatters for summer.

I was treasurer for my fraternity's spring semester my junior year. Late April hit like a wall – nationals wanted our financial report by May 1, half the chapter hadn't paid April dues yet, and I was still tracking down receipts from March formal. I spent the week before finals in spreadsheet hell.

Here's what I wish I'd known: closing out a semester isn't just about collecting the last round of dues. It's about cleaning up loose ends so you (and whoever takes over) aren't dealing with unresolved charges in September.

This is your end-of-semester financial closeout checklist.

## 1. Final Dues Collection Push (3-4 Weeks Before Semester End)

Don't wait until the last week. Members leave campus, go home, stop checking email. By finals week, you've lost your leverage.

**Three weeks out:**

- Send a chapter-wide reminder of outstanding balances
- List the final payment deadline (pick a date 1 week before move-out)
- Make it clear: if you're not paid up by [date], you won't be in good standing for fall rush, housing selection, or voting on next semester's budget

**Two weeks out:**

- Send individual reminders to anyone still carrying a balance
- Offer payment plans if someone's genuinely stuck (better to get $100/month over summer than nothing)
- For serial non-payers, loop in your VP or standards chair – this isn't just a treasury problem anymore

**One week out:**

- Final notice. After this, unpaid dues get reported to nationals (if that's your policy) or the member doesn't get a say in fall housing/leadership elections
- If your platform supports it, lock members out of voting or event registration until they're current

When I was treasurer, I waited too long on this. By the time I sent the "final notice," half the chapter was already home. I ended up chasing people over summer break, which sucked for everyone.

## 2. Reconcile All Expenses

Pull every receipt, Venmo, invoice, and reimbursement request from the semester. If it's not documented, it didn't happen (or worse – it happened and you can't prove it).

**Go through:**

- Event costs (formals, mixers, philanthropy)
- House expenses (utilities, repairs, supplies)
- Food/catering
- Merchandise orders
- Travel for conferences or competitions
- Anything charged to the chapter card

**For each expense:**

- Match it to a budget line item
- Confirm it was approved (if your chapter requires that)
- Attach the receipt/invoice
- Note who authorized it

If something doesn't have a receipt, track down whoever made the purchase. If they can't produce one, that's a conversation for exec board – you can't just eat unaccounted expenses.

Most treasury software lets you categorize and tag expenses. If you've been doing that all semester, this step is fast. If you haven't, this is where you pay for it.

## 3. Update Your Budget Tracker

Your chapter approved a budget in January. Now it's May. How'd you do?

Pull your budget vs. actuals report:

- Where did you overspend? (Social budget always blows up in my experience)
- Where did you underspend? (Philanthropy, usually, because planning events is hard)
- Did any unexpected costs show up? (House repairs, insurance increases, emergency travel)

This isn't just for nationals – it's for next year's treasurer. If formal actually costs $8,000 instead of the budgeted $6,000, that needs to be documented so next year's budget is realistic.

When I handed off treasurer to my successor, I gave him a one-page "budget reality check" with notes like "formal always runs over, plan for $8k minimum" and "we budget $500 for recruitment but actually spend $1200 because we always add a last-minute event." He said it was the most useful thing I gave him.

## 4. Generate Financial Reports

Nationals wants to see your money. Your chapter president wants to see your money. Your housing corporation definitely wants to see your money.

**Standard reports to prepare:**

- **Income statement** (revenue vs. expenses for the semester)
- **Balance sheet** (what you have in the bank right now)
- **Outstanding receivables** (who still owes money and how much)
- **Budget vs. actuals** (planned vs. actual spending by category)

If you're using treasury software like Dueflow, most of this is automated. You export a CSV, send it to nationals, done.

If you're doing this in Excel, budget 2-3 hours. Pull transaction history from your bank, categorize everything, build pivot tables, format it so a human can actually read it.

**Pro tip:** Save these reports as PDFs with clear filenames like "Spring_2026_Financial_Summary.pdf" and store them somewhere permanent (Google Drive, Dropbox, whatever). Don't just keep them in your email. Next year's treasurer will thank you.

## 5. Handle Delinquent Accounts

Some members aren't going to pay. That's reality. But you need a plan for what happens to their unpaid balances.

**Options:**

- **Report to nationals** – most fraternity headquarters track member financial standing nationally. If someone's delinquent at your chapter, that can affect their ability to transfer chapters or participate in national events.
- **Block from fall housing/leadership** – in your bylaws, you probably have a clause that says members in bad financial standing can't hold elected positions or live in the house.
- **Send to collections** – this is the nuclear option. Some chapters do it. Personally, I think it's a bad look unless someone owes $2,000+ and ghosted you entirely. But it's your call.
- **Write it off** – if someone owes $150 from September and you've asked 47 times, maybe you just accept the loss and move on.

Whatever you decide, **document it**. Write down who owes what, what steps you took to collect, and what action (if any) you're taking. This protects you if someone comes back in the fall claiming they didn't know they owed money.

## 6. Audit Your Payment Records

Before you call it done, spot-check your records:

- Pick 10 random members
- Pull their payment history
- Verify it matches what they actually paid (check your bank statements or payment processor records)

Why? Because mistakes happen. Someone marks a payment as "received" when it actually bounced. Someone pays twice and you didn't catch it. Someone's April payment got credited to March by accident.

I found three errors doing this – two overpayments (we owed refunds) and one underpayment (member thought they were current but actually still owed $50). Fixing those before summer saved a lot of confusion in the fall.

## 7. Close Out Pending Payment Plans

If you let members do installment plans, now's the time to resolve them.

**For members who finished their plan:** Send a confirmation email. "You've paid off your spring dues in full. You're in good standing for fall." Give people closure.

**For members mid-plan:** Clarify what happens over summer. Do they keep paying monthly? Do they pause and resume in fall? Do they owe a lump sum in August? Make this explicit.

**For members who defaulted:** Back to step 5 – decide how you're handling delinquent accounts and follow through.

## 8. Prepare Transition Documents for Your Successor

Even if you're staying treasurer next year, write this down like you're handing off to someone else. You might not be treasurer in the fall (people graduate, transfer, get too busy). And even if you are, you'll forget details over summer.

**Documents to prepare:**

- **Access credentials**: Bank login, treasury software login, Venmo/Zelle account access, any vendor accounts (insurance, utilities, etc.)
- **Budget notes**: What I mentioned earlier – where the budget breaks, what actually costs more than planned, recurring expenses to watch for.
- **Recurring payments tracker**: What bills auto-charge every month (insurance, utilities, subscriptions)? List them with amounts and due dates.
- **Vendor contacts**: Who do you call when [thing] breaks? Plumber, electrician, insurance agent, accountant.
- **Pending issues**: Anything unresolved. "John Doe still owes $300 from formal, we're waiting for him to pay before fall housing lottery."

Put this in a Google Doc or Notion page. Share it with your chapter president and your successor (if elected). If you get hit by a bus over summer, someone can pick this up and run with it.

## 9. Schedule a Handoff Meeting (If You're Transitioning)

If you're handing off treasurer to someone new, don't just send the Google Doc and ghost. Schedule a 1-hour meeting before everyone leaves campus.

**Walk through:**

- How to access the bank account
- How to use the treasury software
- What bills are on autopay and when they hit
- What the current financial situation is (do we have money? are we broke?)
- Who to ask for help (nationals financial advisor, housing corp treasurer, your chapter advisor)

I did this with my successor over lunch the week before finals. He asked questions I never would've thought to document ("What do I do if someone Venmos dues but doesn't say their name in the memo?"). That conversation saved him a lot of confusion in the fall.

## 10. One Last Bank Reconciliation

Before you check out for summer, log into the bank account one more time:

- Verify the balance matches what your records say
- Check for any pending transactions that haven't cleared yet
- Make sure all checks you wrote actually got cashed (sometimes someone holds onto a reimbursement check for weeks)
- Confirm no unexpected charges or fees hit

If something's off, fix it now. Don't leave a mystery $200 discrepancy for your successor to untangle in August.

## What This Looks Like in Practice

Here's the timeline I followed my last semester as treasurer:

**3 weeks before finals:**

- Sent final dues reminder to the chapter
- Started reconciling March/April expenses

**2 weeks before finals:**

- Sent individual reminders to 12 members with unpaid balances
- Pulled all receipts and matched them to budget categories
- Ran budget vs. actuals report

**1 week before finals:**

- Generated financial reports for nationals
- Scheduled handoff meeting with incoming treasurer
- Sent delinquent account list to VP (4 members, total $1,400 unpaid)

**Finals week:**

- Had transition meeting with new treasurer over coffee
- Shared access to bank account and Dueflow
- Did final bank reconciliation (we were $75 over budget on social, $200 under on philanthropy, net in the black by $4,300)

**Week after finals:**

- Emailed nationals the spring financial report
- Responded to a couple follow-up questions from new treasurer
- Done

Total time investment over 3 weeks: maybe 10 hours. But it saved the next treasurer (and me) from summer headaches and fall fire drills.

## Tools That Make This Easier

You can do all of this in Excel and Google Sheets. I did. It sucked.

If your chapter uses treasury software (Dueflow, OmegaFi, GreekBill, whatever), most of these steps are automated:

- Dues reminders send automatically
- Budget tracking is built-in
- Financial reports export in one click
- Payment reconciliation is real-time

When I switched from Excel to Dueflow halfway through my term, the end-of-semester closeout went from 3 stressful days to about 2 hours. The software tracked everything automatically, so I just had to review and export.

Even if your chapter doesn't have software, you can still automate parts of this:

- Use Venmo or Zelle request reminders instead of manually texting people
- Set up a Google Sheet with formulas that auto-calculate outstanding balances
- Use calendar reminders so you don't forget to send the 3-week, 2-week, 1-week notices

## Why This Matters

Closing out the semester properly isn't just bureaucracy. It's how you avoid problems later:

- **No surprise debts in the fall** – if you reconcile everything now, you won't discover in September that you're $2,000 short because someone never paid last semester.
- **Smooth leadership transition** – the next treasurer starts with clean books and clear documentation instead of inheriting a mess.
- **Credibility with nationals** – headquarters takes you more seriously when you send timely, accurate financial reports. That matters when you need them to approve a housing loan or waive a fee.
- **Less stress for you** – handling this in May means you're not getting texts in July from your successor asking "wait, did we pay the insurance bill?"

Most importantly, it sets your chapter up to actually function financially next year. Chapters that don't close out properly end up in a cycle of always being behind, always chasing old debts, always operating with incomplete information.

Do the work now. Your fall self (and your successor) will thank you.

**Need help tracking dues and closing out your semester?** Dueflow automates payment collection, expense tracking, and financial reporting so you're not doing this in Excel at 2 AM during finals week. Chapters pay nothing – members pay a small convenience fee when they pay online.

# How to Get Members to Pay Their Dues: 8 Strategies for Fraternity and Sorority Treasurers

Richie Spencer | 4/6/2026

> Learn 8 proven strategies to get fraternity and sorority members to pay their dues on time, from transparent budgets to payment plans and automated reminders.

How do you get fraternity or sorority members to pay their dues? Make paying effortless with online payments and payment plans, show members exactly where their money goes, send automated reminders before due dates rather than after, talk to non-payers one-on-one, apply consequences consistently, and keep proving the value of membership. The eight strategies below break down exactly how to do each of these.

When I was on Exec for my fraternity, dues collection was the worst part of the job. Not the spreadsheets, not the budgeting – the awkward conversations. Asking your friends for money feels more like being a debt collector than a leader.

But here's what I learned: when members don't pay their dues, it's rarely because they're freeloaders. Sometimes they genuinely forgot. Sometimes they're waiting for a paycheck. And sometimes, they don't understand where the money goes or why it matters.

The best treasurers don't just chase payments – they create systems that make paying dues easy, transparent, and automatic. Here are 8 strategies that actually work.

## 1. Show Them the Budget (Transparency Builds Trust)

New members always balk at the cost of dues. I did too, until our treasurer walked us through the budget line by line at chapter.

Once I saw the breakdown – national registration fees, social budget, insurance, philanthropy, house maintenance – it all made sense. We weren't throwing money into a hole. Every dollar had a purpose.

### What to do:

- Present the full budget at chapter at the start of each semester
- Break it down category by category: nationals, social, operations, etc.
- Show what happens if people don't pay (cancelled events, delayed payments to vendors)

When members understand where their money goes, they're far more likely to pay on time.

## 2. Make It Ridiculously Easy to Pay

One of the most common reasons members don't pay? They don't know how, or the process is too complicated.

If your dues collection process involves writing checks, finding the treasurer in person, or navigating a confusing payment portal, you're losing money.

### What to do:

- Accept multiple payment methods: ACH, credit/debit cards, Apple Pay, Venmo
- Send payment links directly via text and email (QR codes work great in chapter meetings)
- Set up online payment portals so members can pay 24/7 from their phone
- Enable one-click payments for members who've paid before

The easier you make it, the faster you get paid. When I could pay my dues in 30 seconds from my phone, I never missed a deadline.

## 3. Offer Payment Plans (Remove the Financial Barrier)

Not everyone can afford to pay $800 in dues upfront. That doesn't mean they can't afford it at all – they just need flexibility.

This is where payment plans are game-changing. Instead of asking for the full amount up front, let members split it into 2, 3, or 4 installments over the semester.

### What to do:

- Offer automatic installment plans (members opt in once, payments auto-draft monthly)
- Set clear terms: "$800 due Oct 1, or pay $267/month for 3 months starting Sep 15"
- Use software that supports recurring payments (manual invoicing for installments is a nightmare)

From a treasurer's perspective, payment plans mean better cash flow and fewer late payments. From a member's perspective, it's the difference between being able to afford membership or not.

Dueflow processes dues via ACH, credit card, debit card, Apple Pay, and Klarna (buy-now-pay-later). Members pay a small convenience fee – chapters pay nothing.

## 4. Send Automated Reminders (Before Payments Are Late)

People are busy. They forget. That's not malicious – it's just reality.

The worst way to handle this is to wait until payments are overdue and then send increasingly passive-aggressive emails. The best way is to remind members before the deadline, not after.

### What to do:

- Send payment reminders 1 week before the due date, 3 days before, and on the day of
- Automate reminders so you're not manually sending emails every week
- Keep reminders friendly and helpful ("Hey! Your dues are due Friday – here's the link to pay")
- Include the payment link in every reminder (reduce friction)

When I automated reminders, our on-time payment rate jumped from 60% to 85%. Members weren't ignoring us – they just needed a nudge.

## 5. Talk to Non-Paying Members One-on-One

After you've sent reminders and given everyone a chance to pay, you'll still have holdouts.

This is where you level up as a leader.

Instead of getting frustrated, reach out to each non-paying member individually. Not with anger – with curiosity.

### What to say:

"Hey [name], I noticed you haven't paid your dues yet. We really value your membership, and I just wanted to check in. Is there something you're hoping to get out of the org that you're not seeing? Or is there something I can help with?"

### What you'll learn:

- Some just needed more time (offer a payment plan)
- Some were on the fence about membership (your outreach might convince them to stay)
- Some genuinely can't afford it right now (work out a solution together)

This isn't debt collection. It's leadership. You're treating your brothers and sisters like people, not paychecks.

## 6. Use Peer Accountability (Not Public Shaming)

Some treasurers publish lists of non-paying members from day one as "peer pressure."

Don't do this.

Public shaming before you've reached out one-on-one is a bad look. It breeds resentment, not compliance.

### What to do instead:

- Announce in chapter that you'll share a list of non-paying members after a certain date (e.g., "Oct 15")
- Give everyone fair warning and a chance to pay or reach out
- Only publish the list after individual outreach has failed

Peer accountability can work, but only after you've tried everything else first.

## 7. Enforce Consequences (Consistently)

This is the hardest part, but it's essential: you have to enforce the rules.

If you let some members slide because you like them, or because they contribute in other ways, or because you're just tired of asking, what message does that send?

It says membership is free for some people, but not for others. That's toxic.

### What to do:

- Make it clear in your bylaws: unpaid dues = suspension (no events, no house access, no voting rights)
- Set a firm deadline, and stick to it
- Apply the rules consistently to everyone, no exceptions

You might feel like a hardass. You're not. You're protecting the integrity of your organization and respecting everyone who DID pay their dues on time.

## 8. Demonstrate Value (Remind Them Why Membership Matters)

Budget is what members pay for. Value is what they get from it.

As dues season approaches, remind your chapter why the organization exists. Get everyone excited about upcoming events, leadership opportunities, networking, and the bonds they're building.

### What to do:

- Share the social calendar for the semester (date parties, formals, tailgates)
- Highlight career benefits: scholarships, alumni connections, networking events
- Ask senior members to share stories about the value they've gotten from the org
- Emphasize community: the friendships, support system, and sense of belonging

When members feel connected to the organization and excited about what's coming, they're far more likely to pay their dues without being asked.

## How Do You Put These Dues Collection Strategies Together?

Getting members to pay their dues isn't about being a tough enforcer or a debt collector. It's about being a leader who:

1. **Builds trust** through transparency
2. **Removes friction** by making payments easy
3. **Offers flexibility** through payment plans and buy-now-pay-later options
4. **Communicates proactively** with automated reminders
5. **Treats members like people** with one-on-one outreach
6. **Holds everyone accountable** with fair, consistent consequences
7. **Demonstrates value** by reminding them why membership matters

When you do all of this, dues collection stops feeling like pulling teeth. It becomes a leadership opportunity – and your chapter runs smoother because of it.

## How Does Dueflow Help You Collect Dues?

Dueflow is built to make all of this easier for treasurers:

- **Multiple payment options**: ACH, credit/debit cards, Apple Pay, and Klarna (buy-now-pay-later)
- **Automated reminders**: Set it once, and members get reminded before payments are late
- **Payment plans**: Let members split dues into installments that auto-draft monthly
- **Real-time tracking**: See who's paid, who's late, and who's on a payment plan – all in one dashboard
- **Zero platform fees**: Members pay a small convenience fee. Chapters pay nothing.

If you're tired of chasing payments and want to focus on leading your chapter instead, [sign up for Dueflow](https://www.dueflow.co/signup) – it's free for chapters, and setup takes 5 minutes.

# How to Make Greek Life More Affordable: A Treasurer's Guide to Payment Flexibility

Santiago Schmitt | 3/30/2026

> Payment flexibility keeps good members in your chapter without drowning your treasurer in admin work. Here's how to offer installment plans, BNPL, and multiple payment methods – without charging your chapter processing fees.

When I was treasurer of my fraternity, the hardest conversations weren't about late payments – they were about brothers who wanted to stay active but genuinely couldn't afford dues all at once.

Spring semester of my junior year, three brothers came to me separately, each saying some version of: "I want to stay, but I'm not sure I can swing $800 upfront." One was paying his own tuition. Another had unexpected medical bills. The third was supporting his family back home.

I knew they weren't trying to dodge payments. They just needed time.

But our billing system – an Excel sheet paired with Venmo reminders – wasn't built for flexibility. We either collected everything upfront or manually tracked installment plans in a separate spreadsheet. No automated reminders. No way to split payments by card. Just more admin work for me and more stress for them.

All three brothers ended up leaving the chapter. Not because they didn't care, but because we didn't have the infrastructure to meet them where they were.

## The Real Cost of Inflexibility

Greek life is expensive. Depending on your chapter and campus, semester dues can range from $400 to over $2,000. For many students – especially those on financial aid, working part-time jobs, or supporting family – that's not pocket change.

**When chapters require full payment upfront, three things happen:**

1. **Good members drop out** – not because they're uncommitted, but because they can't afford a lump sum
2. **Treasurers spend hours chasing late payments** – manual reminders, spreadsheet tracking, awkward conversations
3. **Chapters lose revenue** – members who can't pay upfront often stop engaging, making it harder to collect later

The solution isn't lowering dues (chapters have real expenses). It's offering **flexible payment options** that work for both the chapter and the member.

## What Payment Flexibility Actually Means

Payment flexibility doesn't mean "pay whenever you feel like it." It means giving members structured options that match their financial situation:

### 1. Installment Plans

Break semester dues into 2, 3, or 4 payments spread over the semester. Instead of $800 upfront, a member pays $200/month for four months.

**Why it works:** Smaller payments are easier to budget for. Members can align payments with their paycheck schedule or financial aid disbursements.

**The catch:** You need a system that automatically tracks installments, sends reminders, and collects payments on schedule. Manual tracking in a spreadsheet doesn't scale.

### 2. Buy Now, Pay Later (BNPL)

Services like Klarna let members split a purchase into 4 interest-free payments, paid automatically every two weeks.

**Why it works:** Members get the flexibility of installments without the chapter managing a payment plan. The chapter gets paid in full upfront. Klarna handles collections.

**The catch:** Not all dues collection platforms support BNPL. (Dueflow does – members see Klarna as a payment option at checkout, and the chapter receives the full amount immediately.)

### 3. Multiple Payment Methods

Let members pay how they want: ACH bank transfer (lowest fees), debit card, credit card, Apple Pay.

**Why it works:** Some members prefer ACH to avoid fees. Others use credit cards to earn rewards or spread payments across billing cycles. Giving options removes friction.

**The catch:** Most platforms charge chapters 2.9% + $0.30 per transaction. On a $1,000 payment, that's $29.30 in fees. Dueflow flips this: members pay a small convenience fee, chapters pay nothing.

### 4. Automatic Recurring Billing

For predictable expenses (monthly dues, meal plans, housing), set up automatic charges that run on a schedule.

**Why it works:** No more chasing payments. No more late fees. Members set it once and forget it. Chapters get consistent cash flow.

**The catch:** You need explicit authorization from members and a platform that handles recurring billing securely. This isn't something you can DIY in Venmo.

## How to Implement Payment Flexibility (Without Drowning in Admin Work)

The mistake most treasurers make is trying to build flexibility into their existing system. You end up with:

- Multiple spreadsheets tracking installment plans
- Calendar reminders to manually charge cards
- DMs to members who missed payments
- No audit trail when someone disputes a charge

**Here's the right approach:**

### Step 1: Choose a dues collection platform that supports flexibility natively

Look for:

- Built-in installment plans (set up once, auto-charges on schedule)
- BNPL integration (Klarna, Afterpay)
- Multiple payment methods (ACH, cards, Apple Pay)
- Automated reminders (no manual follow-ups)
- Fee passthrough (members pay fees, not the chapter)

[Dueflow](https://www.dueflow.co) checks all of these. So do some competitors, but most charge chapters 2-3% per transaction. Run the math: on $100k in annual dues, that's $2,000-3,000 in fees.

### Step 2: Set clear payment plan policies

Don't make it up as you go. Document:

- What installment options you offer (e.g., "2-payment or 4-payment plans available for dues over $500")
- Deadlines for enrollment ("must enroll in payment plan by the first week of the semester")
- Late payment consequences ("missed installments incur a $25 late fee")
- Who approves exceptions (treasurer? exec board?)

Put this in your chapter's financial policy. Share it during onboarding. Make it visible on your dues payment page.

### Step 3: Default to flexibility, not rigidity

Instead of "dues are $800, pay in full by [date]," try: "Semester dues are $800. Pay in full or choose a 4-month payment plan at checkout."

Making payment plans opt-in (instead of requiring members to ask) removes stigma and increases adoption. Members who can pay upfront will. Members who need time will take it. Everyone wins.

### Step 4: Monitor and adjust

After your first semester offering payment plans, check:

- How many members used installment plans?
- Did payment plan adoption reduce late payments?
- Did any members miss installment deadlines?
- How much admin time did you save?

Use this data to refine your policies. If 40% of members chose a 4-month plan, consider offering a 6-month plan next semester. If installment #3 is where people drop off, front-load payments (e.g., $300, $250, $250 instead of $266, $266, $268).

## Real Example: What Flexibility Looks Like in Practice

Let's say your chapter's semester dues are $900, broken down as:

- National fees: $300
- Social budget: $200
- House maintenance: $200
- Misc (insurance, supplies): $200

**Without flexibility:**

"Dues are $900. Pay by Friday or you're removed from the roster."

Result: 10-15% of members pay late. Treasurer spends hours sending reminders and tracking who owes what. Some members drop out.

**With flexibility:**

"Semester dues are $900. Pay in full or split into 3 monthly payments of $300. Choose your payment method at checkout: bank transfer (no fee), debit/credit card (3% convenience fee), or Klarna (split into 4 interest-free payments)."

Result:

- 60% pay in full (preferring to knock it out early)
- 30% choose a 3-month plan (aligning with their paycheck schedule)
- 10% use Klarna (spreading it over 6 weeks)
- Zero admin overhead (system auto-charges, sends reminders, handles failures)
- 95%+ on-time payment rate

The chapter gets the same $900 per member. But instead of losing members or spending 5+ hours/week on collections, the treasurer sets it up once and moves on.

## Why Chapters Shouldn't Absorb Payment Processing Fees

One common mistake: chapters eat the 2.9% credit card fee to "make it easier" for members.

On $100,000 in annual dues, that's $2,900. That money could fund:

- An extra formal
- Two or three brotherhood events
- New chapter equipment
- Emergency fund for members in financial hardship

Dueflow's approach: members pay a small convenience fee if they choose to pay by card. Bank transfers (ACH) are free for both sides. Most members who care about fees will choose ACH. Members who value card rewards or payment flexibility will pay the fee.

This keeps more money in the chapter's budget for actual programming – not processing fees.

## When to Offer Financial Assistance (Beyond Payment Plans)

Payment flexibility helps members who need time. But some members need more than time – they need a reduced dues amount.

If your chapter has a financial assistance fund:

- Make the application process private and simple (Google Form reviewed by treasurer + one exec board member)
- Approve based on genuine need, not favoritism
- Don't announce who received assistance (privacy matters)
- Fund it with alumni donations, national grants, or a small allocation from the chapter budget

Payment plans and financial assistance serve different needs. Plans = flexibility. Assistance = affordability for members in genuine hardship.

## The Bottom Line

Making Greek life more affordable doesn't mean lowering dues. It means removing the barriers that force good members out.

**Three takeaways:**

1. **Flexible payment options increase retention and reduce admin work.** Offer installment plans, BNPL, and multiple payment methods.
2. **Use a platform that handles flexibility automatically.** Manual tracking doesn't scale. You're the treasurer, not a collections agency.
3. **Pass fees to members, not the chapter.** Members who want flexibility can pay a small convenience fee. Chapters shouldn't sacrifice $3,000+/year in programming budget to processing fees.

[Dueflow](https://www.dueflow.co) was built for this. Chapters pay nothing. Members pay via ACH (free), cards (small convenience fee), or Klarna (split into 4 payments). Installment plans are automatic. Reminders are automatic. The treasurer does less work, and more members stay active.

If your chapter is still using Venmo and spreadsheets, you're leaving money on the table and burning out your treasurer.

# What Should a New Fraternity Treasurer Do First? The Complete Treasurer Transition Checklist for Fraternities and Sororities

Sam Cooper | 3/23/2026

> What a new fraternity or sorority treasurer should do first – bank signers, records handoff, reconciling the balance, setting the dues schedule – plus the complete transition checklist for outgoing and incoming treasurers.

What should a new fraternity or sorority treasurer do first? In the first two weeks: get added as a signer on the chapter bank account (and remove the outgoing treasurer), collect the records – current budget, who owes what, bank and software logins, nationals' deadlines – reconcile the actual balance against what the books say, and set the dues schedule and billing dates for the coming term. Everything else on this checklist follows from those four steps.

I was a fraternity treasurer, and I inherited a mess. The outgoing guy handed me a folder with some receipts, said "good luck," and disappeared. I spent weeks piecing together what we owed, who hadn't paid, and how to even log into our accounts.

This checklist is everything I wish I had - whether you're the one leaving or the one taking over.

## Why Treasurer Transitions Go Wrong

Most treasurer transitions fail because of three things:

- **Knowledge lives in someone's head** - who owes what, which vendors need paying, where the receipts are
- **Access isn't transferred properly** - bank accounts, software logins, email accounts still controlled by the old treasurer
- **No documented timeline** - the handoff happens in one rushed conversation a week before the old treasurer graduates

The result? Missed payments, duplicate bills, members who think they paid but didn't, and a new treasurer who's underwater before they even start. Here's how to avoid that.

## For Outgoing Treasurers: What to Document and Hand Off

Start this at least 4 weeks before your term ends. Don't wait until the last week.

### 1. Financial Documentation Package

Create a folder (physical or digital) with:

- **Current budget and actual spending** - show what was budgeted vs. what was actually spent in each category
- **Bank statements** - last 12 months, reconciled with your records
- **Outstanding receivables** - list of members who still owe dues and how much
- **Outstanding payables** - bills that are due or coming due (nationals fees, rent, vendors)
- **Vendor contacts and contracts** - who you pay, when payments are due, contact info for each
- **Tax documents** - EIN, 501(c)(7) status documentation, last year's 990-N filing

### 2. Access Credentials

Make a master list of everything the new treasurer needs access to:

- Bank account online login
- Dues collection software (Dueflow, LegFi, etc.)
- Chapter email accounts
- Nationals portal
- Accounting software (QuickBooks, Wave, etc.)
- Any shared drives or storage (Google Drive, Dropbox)

Pro tip: Use a shared password manager like 1Password or Bitwarden for chapter credentials. That way, credentials transfer without anyone needing to know actual passwords - you just grant access to the new treasurer and revoke your own.

### 3. Financial Calendar

Write out recurring financial obligations by month:

- When is rent due?
- When are nationals fees due?
- When should dues be collected each semester?
- When is the 990-N tax filing due?
- Any annual insurance renewals?

This calendar is gold. The new treasurer shouldn't have to figure out when things are due - that information should be documented.

## For Incoming Treasurers: What to Ask For

Don't assume the outgoing treasurer will hand you everything. Be proactive. Schedule at least two sit-down sessions before they leave.

### First Meeting: The Overview

- Walk through the current financial state - how much is in the bank, who owes money, what's coming due
- Get the documentation package described above
- Ask: "What's the hardest part of this job? What do you wish you'd known?"

### Second Meeting: The Handoff

- Go to the bank together and change signers on the account
- Log into every system together and transfer admin access
- Walk through any pending items - unpaid dues, upcoming bills
- Exchange contact info for questions after they leave

## Bank Account Transition: The Most Critical Step

Changing bank signers is the single most important step in the transition. If you skip this, the old treasurer still controls the money.

Here's what you need:

1. **Letter from the chapter** - on chapter letterhead, signed by the president, stating the new treasurer's name and that they're authorized to be a signer. Include both the outgoing and incoming treasurer's names.
2. **IDs for both treasurers** - you'll both need valid government ID
3. **EIN documentation** - bring the chapter's EIN letter from the IRS
4. **Meeting minutes** - some banks require minutes from the election showing the new treasurer was elected (have the secretary provide these)

Go to the bank together. Remove the old treasurer as a signer and add the new one. Don't leave until this is done. Seriously - I've seen chapters where the old treasurer stayed on the account for years because nobody ever went to the bank.

## Software and Tool Access Transfer

Modern chapters use software for dues collection, accounting, and member management. Here's how to transfer access properly:

### Dues Collection Software

If you use Dueflow, the transition is straightforward: add the new treasurer as an admin in Settings, and they'll have full access immediately. They can see all payment history, member records, and outstanding balances - no data is lost.

Before you leave, walk them through:

- How to create new dues (for next semester)
- How to add/remove members
- How to send payment reminders
- How to export data for reporting

### Remove Old Access

After the transition is complete, the outgoing treasurer should:

- Have their admin access downgraded or removed from all platforms
- Log out of all shared accounts
- Change any passwords that were shared directly (not through a password manager)

This isn't about trust - it's about security and clean record-keeping.

## Transition Timeline

Start early. Here's a suggested timeline:

- **4 weeks before:** Start compiling documentation. Make the credential list. Schedule the bank visit.
- **2 weeks before:** First meeting with incoming treasurer. Hand over documentation. Start software access transfer.
- **1 week before:** Go to the bank together. Complete signer change. Verify all system access works.
- **Day of transition:** Final walkthrough. Answer last questions. Exchange contact info.
- **2 weeks after:** Check in. See if they have questions. Offer help with any issues.

## How Modern Tools Make Transitions Easier

The hardest part of treasury transitions used to be the data. Spreadsheets lived on someone's laptop. Payment records were in someone's Venmo history. When they graduated, that knowledge walked out the door.

Cloud-based dues collection software solves this. With a tool like Dueflow, all your payment history, member records, and financial data live in the cloud. The new treasurer gets access and instantly sees:

- Complete payment history for every member
- Who has outstanding balances
- Historical dues amounts and collection rates
- Automated reminders that are already set up

No more "the old treasurer had a spreadsheet but we can't find it." The data persists across transitions.

## The Handoff Is Part of the Job

Being a good treasurer isn't just about managing money during your term. It's about leaving the role better than you found it. That means documenting what you learned, organizing what you have, and making sure your successor can hit the ground running.

If you do this well, you'll hear from the next treasurer thanking you. If you don't, you'll hear from them asking where everything is.

Take the time. Do it right. Your successor - and your chapter - will be better for it.

If your chapter is still using spreadsheets or Venmo to track dues, consider [switching to Dueflow](https://dueflow.co/signup). Members pay a small convenience fee - chapters pay nothing. Your payment history stays organized across treasurer transitions, and the new treasurer can see everything from day one.

# How to Set Up Automatic Recurring Dues for Your Chapter

Sam Cooper | 3/16/2026

> Stop chasing payments every month. Set up autopay for chapter dues and let recurring billing do the work for you.

Every treasurer knows the drill: semester starts, dues are due, and suddenly you're the most annoying person in the GroupMe. "Hey did you pay yet?" "Don't forget dues are due Friday." "Seriously, it's been three weeks."

When I was treasurer, I spent more time chasing payments than actually managing our chapter's finances. The worst part? It was the same members every single time. Not because they didn't have the money – they just forgot, or life got busy, or they figured they'd do it "tomorrow."

Automatic recurring billing solves this problem entirely. Set it up once, and members pay automatically every month. No reminders needed. No awkward conversations. No late payments.

## What Is Automatic Recurring Billing?

Recurring billing is exactly what it sounds like: a member authorizes a payment amount, and it charges automatically on a set schedule – weekly, monthly, or per semester. The payment method stays on file, and the system handles the rest.

This is different from a payment plan, which splits a single charge into installments. With payment plans, you're still collecting a fixed total amount – the member just pays it over time. With recurring billing, you're setting up ongoing charges that continue until canceled. Think Netflix or Spotify, but for chapter dues.

## Why Recurring Dues Make Sense for Greek Chapters

The traditional model – billing a lump sum at the start of each semester – creates problems for everyone. Members have to come up with $400-800 all at once. Treasurers have to deal with late payments and collection headaches. And chapter finances are feast-or-famine, flush at the start of the semester and tight by the end.

Monthly recurring dues fix all of this:

- Members pay smaller amounts ($100/month vs $400 lump sum) – easier on their budgets
- Payments happen automatically – no reminders, no chasing, no awkwardness
- Steady cash flow – predictable monthly revenue instead of boom-and-bust cycles
- Fewer late payments – people don't "forget" when it's automatic
- Less work for you – set it up once, then focus on actually running the chapter

## How to Structure Monthly Dues

Before setting up recurring billing, you need to decide on the structure. Here's how to think about it:

### Calculate Your Monthly Amount

Take your total annual dues and divide by the number of months you want to bill. Most chapters bill 8-10 months (excluding summer). If annual dues are $800, monthly would be $80-100.

Some chapters set a flat monthly rate that's slightly lower than the per-semester equivalent. This incentivizes signing up for autopay while giving members more flexibility. For example: $400/semester OR $90/month recurring – members who go monthly end up paying $720/year instead of $800, but you get consistent cash flow and near-zero collections headaches.

### Choose Your Billing Cycle

Monthly is the most common and usually the best choice. It aligns with how most people budget and how most subscription services work. Weekly can work for smaller amounts (social dues, parking fees), but adds complexity. Semester billing defeats the purpose of recurring – you're back to lump sums.

### Decide on Duration

You can set recurring payments to run for a fixed number of cycles (e.g., 8 months) or indefinitely until canceled. Fixed cycles are good for semester-based billing where you know the end date. Indefinite is better for ongoing membership dues where members stay enrolled until they graduate or go inactive.

## Setting Up Recurring Dues in Dueflow

Dueflow makes recurring billing straightforward. Here's how it works:

1. Go to Payments → Create Payment
2. Select the members or groups you're billing
3. Enter the per-period amount (e.g., $100/month)
4. Enable "Recurring" and choose your frequency (weekly, monthly, etc.)
5. Set the number of cycles or choose "Until canceled"
6. Create the payment – members get a link to set up their subscription

When members check out, they see the per-period amount (not the total obligation) and authorize the recurring charge. Their payment method stays on file, and Dueflow handles the rest – charging automatically each period, sending receipts, and notifying you if a payment fails.

Dueflow processes payments via ACH, credit card, debit card, Apple Pay, and Klarna. Members pay a small convenience fee – chapters pay nothing.

## Managing Active Subscriptions

Once subscriptions are active, you'll want to keep an eye on a few things:

### Track MRR (Monthly Recurring Revenue)

Your dashboard shows active subscriptions and total MRR. This tells you exactly how much you can expect each month – useful for budgeting and planning chapter expenses.

### Handle Failed Payments

Sometimes a card expires or gets declined. Dueflow notifies both you and the member when this happens. The member can update their payment method in their portal – no intervention needed from you.

### Cancel When Needed

Members going inactive or graduating? You can cancel their subscription immediately or at the end of the current billing period. This gives you flexibility to handle different situations – someone leaving mid-semester vs. someone finishing out the term.

## Common Questions About Recurring Dues

### What if a member wants to pay the full amount upfront?

Offer both options. Create a one-time payment for the full semester amount alongside the recurring option. Some members prefer to pay once and be done with it – that's fine. The goal is giving members choices that work for them.

### How do I handle new members mid-semester?

Create a prorated subscription. If someone joins in October and you normally bill August through December, set up a 3-month subscription (October, November, December) at your regular monthly rate. They start where everyone else is.

### What about summer months?

Most chapters pause billing over summer. Set your subscriptions to run for a fixed number of cycles (e.g., 4 months for fall semester) rather than indefinitely. When the new semester starts, create fresh subscriptions.

### Can members cancel on their own?

This depends on your chapter's policy. In Dueflow, only admins can cancel subscriptions – members can't unilaterally stop paying. This prevents the "oops I accidentally canceled" excuse. If a member has a legitimate reason to cancel, they talk to you first.

## Getting Your Chapter On Board

Switching to recurring billing is a change, and change can meet resistance. Here's how to pitch it:

- **Lead with the member benefit**: "You don't have to remember to pay – it just happens. And the monthly amount is way more manageable than one big bill."
- **Offer a small discount**: "Monthly recurring is $90/month. If you'd rather pay the full semester upfront, it's $400." The autopay rate is slightly cheaper – reward people for making your life easier.
- **Grandfather existing preferences**: If some members really don't want autopay, let them pay the full amount instead. Don't force it – just make the recurring option the default and the easier choice.

Most members will prefer it once they try it. "Set it and forget it" beats "dig out my card and pay every month" every time.

## The Bottom Line

Automatic recurring billing isn't just convenient – it transforms how your chapter handles money. No more chasing. No more late payments. No more awkward conversations about who owes what.

Set it up once at the start of the semester, and your dues collection runs itself. You get to focus on the parts of being treasurer that actually matter – budgeting, planning events, and managing chapter finances – instead of playing collections agent.

# How to Set Up Payment Plans for Fraternity Dues (and Sorority Dues): The Complete 2026 Guide

Santiago Schmitt | 3/9/2026

> How to set up payment plans for fraternity or sorority dues in five steps: installment structure, semester-aligned due dates, written terms, automated charges and reminders, and separate tracking – plus BNPL options like Klarna and real numbers from active chapters.

How do you set up payment plans for fraternity dues? Choose an installment structure (monthly is most common – e.g. four payments of $300 instead of $1,200 upfront), set due dates that align with the semester calendar, put the plan terms in writing before the term starts, automate the charges and payment reminders with dues collection software, and track plan members separately from standard billing so nothing slips. The same five steps work for sorority dues. This guide walks through each of them, plus installment and BNPL options like Klarna, with real numbers from active chapters.

How common are plans? Across 48 chapters on Dueflow, 32% of dues payments are made on a payment plan, rising to 45% for charges of $1,000 or more – see the full [fraternity dues collection statistics](https://www.dueflow.co/blog/fraternity-dues-collection-statistics).

Fraternity and sorority dues can range from $500 to $2,000+ per semester. For many members, that's a significant expense – especially when it's due all at once.

As a former fraternity treasurer, I've seen members delay payment not because they didn't want to pay, but because they couldn't afford the full amount upfront. Some would ask for extensions. Others would skip events because they knew they owed money.

Payment plans solve this. Instead of requiring $1,200 in one transaction, members can split payments across multiple months. This lowers the barrier to participation and makes treasury management easier.

## Why payment plans matter for Greek life

Most fraternities and sororities bill dues once per semester. Members receive an invoice for $800, $1,200, sometimes more.

For students managing limited budgets, this creates friction. Even if a member wants to participate fully, coming up with $1,200 in cash at the start of the semester is difficult.

Payment plans reduce this friction. By splitting dues into smaller amounts – say $300 per month over four months – the total cost stays the same, but the psychological burden decreases.

From a treasurer's perspective, payment plans also improve cash flow predictability. Instead of waiting for one large payment that may come late (or not at all), you receive smaller payments consistently throughout the semester.

## How to structure payment plans for chapter dues

There's no single right way to structure payment plans. Most chapters use one of three models:

### 1. Monthly installments

The most common approach. Divide total dues by the number of months in the semester.

Example: Total dues $1,200, split into $400/month for 3 months (September 1, October 1, November 1).

### 2. Deposit + installments

Some chapters require a deposit upfront, then split the remaining balance. Example: $1,200 total with $400 deposit, then 2 payments of $400 each.

### 3. Buy now, pay later (BNPL)

Modern payment platforms like Klarna and Afterpay allow members to pay in installments without the chapter managing the plan directly. The chapter receives full payment upfront while the member pays in 4 automatic installments.

## How to offer payment plans to members

If you're managing payment plans manually, here's the basic workflow:

1. Calculate installment amounts – divide total dues by number of payments (2-4 installments typical)
2. Set clear due dates – be explicit about when each installment is due
3. Send reminders before each due date – automated reminders significantly improve payment completion
4. Track outstanding balances – spreadsheets work for small chapters but become error-prone as membership grows

## Tools that automate payment plans

Most modern payment platforms built for Greek life include built-in payment plan support.

Dueflow, for example, allows treasurers to set custom payment plan structures, automatically send reminders, track completed payments, and accept multiple payment methods including ACH, card, Apple Pay, and Klarna.

## Buy now, pay later for dues

BNPL services like Klarna have become popular in e-commerce. Platforms like Dueflow integrate BNPL into dues collection, allowing members to select "Pay in 4" at checkout while the chapter receives full payment upfront.

## Avoiding common payment plan mistakes

- No written policy – document terms clearly (installments allowed, due dates, late fees, missed payment consequences)
- Manual tracking without reminders – automated reminders are critical for payment plan success
- Allowing indefinite extensions – set a clear final due date and enforce it

## Should your chapter offer payment plans?

Payment plans work best when semester dues exceed $500, your chapter has 30+ members, members have expressed difficulty paying upfront, and you have a system to track installments and send reminders.

## Final thoughts

Payment plans make dues more accessible. Instead of requiring a large upfront payment, members can spread costs across the semester.

For treasurers, payment plans improve cash flow predictability and reduce late payments. Modern tools like Dueflow handle the administrative work – tracking balances, sending reminders, processing installments.

One question parents raise when a chapter offers installments is whether the dues can come out of a 529 plan instead. Generally they cannot, but chapter-house rent and meal plans can; see [can you pay fraternity or sorority dues with a 529 plan](https://www.dueflow.co/blog/can-you-pay-fraternity-sorority-dues-with-529-plan) for the IRS rules and how to bill housing separately so families can use it.

Dueflow makes it easy to collect dues via payment plans, Klarna, ACH, card, and Apple Pay. Members pay a small convenience fee – chapters pay nothing. Learn more at dueflow.co.

# Introducing Shop: Sell Merch, Tickets, and More – Without the Spreadsheets

Sam Cooper | 3/6/2026

> Dueflow Shop lets chapters sell merchandise, event tickets, and custom items with built-in inventory tracking, size selection, and automatic payment collection. No more spreadsheets, no more chasing Venmo payments.

To sell fraternity or sorority merch online for your chapter: create a listing in an online chapter store (Dueflow Shop is built for this), add sizes and options, set the price, share the purchase link with members and guests, and let payments deposit straight to the chapter bank account – no Google Forms, spreadsheets, or Venmo chasing. Inventory, size selection, and who-has-paid tracking are handled automatically.

When I was treasurer, selling chapter merch was a nightmare. Someone would post a Google Form, we'd collect sizes in a spreadsheet, chase people for Venmo payments, and inevitably lose track of who paid and who didn't. By the time we actually ordered the sweatshirts, half the chapter had forgotten they signed up.

That's why we built Shop – a dead-simple way for chapters to sell anything, from merch to formal tickets to composite fees. No spreadsheets. No chasing payments. Just set it up, share the link, and let members buy.

## What is Dueflow Shop?

Dueflow Shop is a built-in store for your chapter. Create listings for anything you're selling – sweatshirts, event tickets, parking passes, whatever – and share a purchase link with members or guests. They pick what they want, choose sizes or options, pay online, and you get the money deposited directly to your chapter's bank account.

The best part? Buyers pay the processing fee, not you. Chapters pay nothing to use Dueflow.

## Key Features

### Multiple Items Per Listing

Selling a merch drop? Add sweatshirts, t-shirts, hats, and joggers all in one listing. Buyers can add multiple items to their cart and check out once. Each item can have its own price, inventory limit, and custom fields.

### Custom Fields (Sizes, Options, Text)

Need to collect sizes? Add a dropdown. Need a phone number for pickup? Add a text field. You can add as many custom fields as you want – text, number, phone, date, or dropdown select – and mark them required or optional.

### Inventory Tracking

Set a total inventory for each item and Dueflow automatically tracks how many are left. When something sells out, buyers can't order more. No more overselling and disappointing people.

### Per-Person Limits

Want to make sure everyone can get a sweatshirt before someone buys five? Set a max per person. Dueflow enforces the limit at checkout.

### Member or Guest Checkout

Buyers can identify as members (selecting from your roster) or check out as guests. Either way, you get their contact info and can track who bought what.

### Multiple Payment Methods

Buyers can pay with credit card, debit card, Apple Pay, or ACH bank transfer. The fee adjusts automatically based on the payment method – ACH is cheaper, so budget-conscious buyers can save a few bucks.

## How It Works

### 1. Create a Listing

Go to Store in your Dueflow dashboard and click "New Listing." Give it a name (like "Spring 2026 Merch") and an optional description. Then add items – each one gets a name, price, and any custom fields you need.

### 2. Share the Link

Once created, you get a shareable link (like dueflow.co/shop/abc123). Post it in GroupMe, send it in an email, put it in the chapter newsletter – anyone with the link can buy.

### 3. Buyers Check Out

Buyers visit the link, add items to their cart, fill in custom fields like size, enter their info, and pay. It takes about 30 seconds. They get a confirmation email, you get the order.

![Dueflow Shop checkout page showing available merchandise items with quantity selectors and size dropdowns]()

### 4. Track Orders & Get Paid

Your dashboard shows all orders, who bought what, their custom field responses (sizes, etc.), and payment status. Export to CSV if you need to send a list to your vendor. Money hits your connected bank account automatically.

![Dueflow Shop checkout with items in cart showing size selection, order summary, and payment method options]()

## What Can You Sell?

Anything. Here are some ideas:

- Chapter merchandise (sweatshirts, t-shirts, hats, joggers)
- Formal and semi-formal tickets
- Tailgate parking passes
- Composite fees
- Philanthropy event tickets
- Alumni weekend registration
- Fundraiser items (gift baskets, raffle tickets)

## Pricing

Shop is included free with Dueflow. There's no extra charge to use it. Processing fees are paid by buyers – the same fees as regular dues collection. Chapters pay nothing.

## Get Started

If you're already on Dueflow, Shop is ready for you – just go to Store in your dashboard. If you're not on Dueflow yet, sign up free at dueflow.co/signup. Setup takes about 10 minutes, and you can have your first merch sale live today.

No more spreadsheets. No more Venmo hunting. Just sell stuff and get paid.

# How to Collect Club Dues Online (Complete Guide for Treasurers)

Sam Cooper | 3/1/2026

> Learn how to collect club or fraternity dues online. This guide explains the easiest way for treasurers to track payments, send reminders, and manage organization finances.

## How to Collect Club Dues Online

Collecting club dues is one of the most important responsibilities a treasurer has – and one of the most frustrating.

Members forget to pay. Payments come through Venmo with unclear notes. Someone insists they already paid two weeks ago. Meanwhile the treasurer ends up maintaining a spreadsheet just to track balances.

For fraternities, student organizations, sports teams, and societies with dozens of members, this quickly becomes chaotic.

Modern payment tools make collecting dues far easier. Instead of chasing payments manually, treasurers can automate reminders, track balances automatically, and centralize payments in one place.

In this guide we explain:

- the best way to collect club dues online
- common mistakes organizations make
- how to track member payments
- tools that simplify the entire process

## Why collecting dues manually creates problems

Most student organizations begin collecting dues using simple payment apps like Venmo or PayPal.

These tools work when a group has only a few members. But as organizations grow, the system starts to break down.

Payments arrive without notes. Members forget whether they paid. Treasurers must manually reconcile transactions and maintain spreadsheets tracking balances.

Over time this leads to three common problems:

- missing or unclear payments
- complicated spreadsheets
- time spent chasing members for money

## The modern system for collecting club dues

Today many organizations collect dues using centralized payment systems.

Instead of asking members to send money manually, the treasurer creates a dues collection and sends members a payment link.

Members simply open the link and complete payment online.

Once payment is submitted:

- the member's balance updates automatically
- the treasurer sees payment status instantly
- reminders can be sent automatically

Platforms like **Dueflow** were built specifically for this workflow.

## Step-by-step: how to collect club dues online

### 1. Determine the dues amount

Start by calculating expected expenses for the semester.

These might include:

- events
- merchandise
- housing costs
- administrative expenses

Divide these costs across the membership to determine dues.

### 2. Create a centralized payment system

Instead of accepting payments through multiple apps, use a single payment link or portal.

This ensures payments are recorded consistently.

### 3. Send the payment link to members

Distribute the payment link through email, group chats, or organization communication platforms.

Members simply open the link and submit payment.

### 4. Allow multiple payment methods

Providing flexible payment options increases completion rates.

Most organizations allow:

- ACH bank transfer
- credit or debit card

### 5. Automate reminders

Automated reminders significantly improve payment completion.

Instead of messaging members individually, reminders are sent automatically to those with outstanding balances.

## Why Venmo creates problems for dues collection

Venmo is convenient, but it introduces several challenges.

Payments are not tied to membership lists, so treasurers must manually identify transactions.

Venmo also lacks automated reminders and structured payment tracking.

For larger organizations, this makes financial management difficult.

## Tools that simplify dues collection

Several tools now exist to help organizations manage finances more effectively.

Platforms like **Dueflow** allow treasurers to:

- create payment collections
- track member balances automatically
- send payment reminders
- manage reimbursements

Instead of juggling spreadsheets and payment apps, treasurers can manage everything in one place.

## Final thoughts

Collecting club dues doesn’t have to be complicated.

By centralizing payments, automating reminders, and tracking balances automatically, treasurers can remove the most frustrating parts of the role.

Platforms like **Dueflow** help organizations collect payments efficiently while giving treasurers full visibility into finances.

# Why Treasurers Deserve Better Tools – And Why We Built Dueflow

Santiago Schmitt | 11/13/2024

> Student organizations deserve better tools. Dueflow simplifies dues collection with automatic reminders, fast payments, and everything in one place.

Being a treasurer shouldn’t mean spending your nights chasing people for money.

But for most fraternities, sororities, and student clubs, that’s the reality:
screenshots of Venmo payments, scattered Zelle transfers, a Google Sheet that breaks every semester, and constant reminders to people who 'swear they’ll pay tomorrow'.

It’s messy, stressful, and takes hours that could be spent actually running the organization.

## **The Real Problems Treasurers Deal With**

Every chapter faces the same issues:

- people paying in five different places,
- unclear balances ('did he pay or not?'),
- manual lists that get out of date fast,
- endless follow-ups in GroupMe, texts, and emails.

None of that should be part of the job.

## **Dueflow: The Simple Way to Collect Dues**

We built **Dueflow** because treasurers deserved something easier.

Here’s how it works:

- you upload your members,
- Dueflow sends automatic reminders,
- members pay via ACH or card in seconds,
- every payment shows up instantly in one place.

No logins. No spreadsheets. No chasing.
Just a clean, modern way to collect dues that actually works.

*(National organizations also use Dueflow – they get clear visibility across chapters without adding any work for you.)*

## **Less Admin, Fewer Headaches, Faster Payments**

With Dueflow, treasurers get their time back.
Members pay on time because the process is simple.
And chapters finally get a financial system that isn’t duct-taped together.

**No more confusion. No more scattered payments. Just smooth, automated due flow.**

# About Dueflow

Last updated October 6, 2026

Dueflow is a dues collection and chapter finance platform for fraternities, sororities, and student organizations. It is free for chapters and nationals – no platform fees, no per-member charges, no contracts, and no setup fees. Members pay a small processing fee at checkout based on how they pay, and the chapter keeps 100% of its dues.

Chapters use Dueflow to collect dues online by ACH, card, Apple Pay, and Klarna buy-now-pay-later; set up payment plans and partial payments; track budgets; handle reimbursements; sell merchandise through a built-in store; and receive payouts directly to the chapter's own bank account. Nationals use it to oversee finances across all of their chapters. Dueflow replaces spreadsheets, Venmo threads, and legacy per-member-fee platforms such as Greekbill and OmegaFi.

## What Dueflow does

Dueflow covers the full chapter money cycle: dues billing and collection, payment plans, late-payment tracking, reimbursements, a chapter store for merch and event sales, payouts, and financial reporting. Treasurers can also record offline payments (cash, check, Venmo, Zelle) in the dashboard at no cost, so the ledger stays complete.

## How Dueflow makes money

Dueflow charges organizations nothing. Its revenue comes from the processing fee the paying member sees at checkout: from $2 for small ACH payments up to $15 + 3.3% for large card payments, and 6% for Klarna installments. ACH is the cheapest and most popular payment method. The fee is always shown before the member pays, and the chapter receives the full dues amount.

## Who uses Dueflow

Fraternity and sorority chapters, national organizations overseeing hundreds of chapters, and other student organizations – from 40-member houses to large nationals. Dueflow was built by former chapter treasurers who ran finances out of spreadsheets and Venmo threads and wanted a better way.

## Company

Dueflow was co-founded by Santiago Schmitt and Charlie Meyer (CTO). The team is fully remote and ships weekly, and every person on the team talks directly to treasurers. Dueflow is backed by Google for Startups and The Foundry at UVA.

## Security

Payments are processed by PCI DSS Level 1 certified partners; card numbers and bank credentials never touch Dueflow's servers. All traffic is encrypted with TLS, data is encrypted at rest, and collected dues settle directly to the chapter's own bank account – Dueflow never holds chapter funds. See the security page at dueflow.co/security for the full breakdown.

## 7. Cookies, Analytics, and Tracking Technologies

We and our service providers use cookies, pixels, session-replay tools, and similar technologies to operate the Service, remember your preferences, measure performance, and understand how the Service is used. The third-party analytics and advertising tools we currently use include:

- PostHog – product analytics and error tracking. On our production site this includes session replay (recording of on-screen activity), with payment amounts, donor/member names, and all form inputs masked.
- Google Ads / Google tag (gtag.js) – conversion measurement for our advertising, loaded on public marketing pages.
- Vercel Analytics – privacy-friendly, aggregate traffic measurement.
- Sentry – application error and performance monitoring, which may capture limited diagnostic data about your session when an error occurs.

Most browsers let you refuse or delete cookies. Where required by law, we present a consent choice for non-essential analytics and advertising cookies. We also honor Global Privacy Control (GPC) browser signals as a valid request to opt out of the “sale” or “sharing” of personal information as described below.

## 8. Data Security

We implement appropriate technical and organizational security measures to protect your personal information, including:

- Encryption of data in transit and at rest
- Regular security assessments and audits
- Access controls and authentication measures
- Secure payment processing through PCI-compliant partners
- Logging of authentication events, administrative actions, and payment events to detect and investigate fraud or abuse

While we strive to protect your information, no method of electronic transmission or storage is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

## 9. Data Retention

We retain your personal information for as long as your account is active or as needed to provide you services. We may also retain information as required by law, to resolve disputes, to enforce our agreements, and to maintain audit trails for fraud detection. Financial transaction records are retained in accordance with applicable financial regulations.

## 10. Your Rights

Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have the following rights regarding your personal information:

- Access and review your personal data
- Request correction of inaccurate data
- Request deletion of your data
- Object to or restrict processing of your data
- Data portability

To exercise these rights, please contact us at [support@dueflow.co](mailto:support@dueflow.co).

## 11. Your California Privacy Rights (CCPA/CPRA)

If you are a California resident, the California Consumer Privacy Act, as amended by the CPRA, gives you additional rights. In the past 12 months we have collected the following categories of personal information: identifiers (name, email, phone, IP address); customer records (contact and organization details); commercial information (payment and transaction history); internet or network activity (usage and device data); geolocation (approximate, from IP); and inferences drawn from the above. We collect this information for the business purposes described in this Policy.

We do not sell your personal information for money. However, our use of advertising and analytics tools such as Google Ads may be considered “selling” or “sharing” of personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising under California law. You have the right to opt out.

As a California resident, you have the right to: know and access the personal information we hold about you; request deletion; request correction; and opt out of the “sale” or “sharing” of your personal information. You will not be discriminated against for exercising these rights. You may exercise them by emailing support@dueflow.co, or by enabling a Global Privacy Control (GPC) signal in your browser, which we treat as a valid opt-out of sale/sharing. You may use an authorized agent to submit a request on your behalf.

# SMS Messaging Policy

Last updated September 7, 2026

Last updated: April 15, 2026

## About the Dueflow SMS program

Dueflow sends SMS messages to organization treasurers, members, and parents/guardians who provide a mobile number, to deliver transactional information about dues and other payments collected through Dueflow. This includes invoices, balances, payment reminders, payment receipts, and payment failure notices.

## How to opt in

You opt in to SMS messages from Dueflow only by affirmatively providing your mobile number and consenting to receive SMS in one of the following places:

- A treasurer enters your mobile number and checks the SMS consent box when activating your Dueflow member account through the "Activate Dueflow Account" dialog.
- You add or update your mobile number from your member profile at /member/settings and check the SMS consent box.
- A treasurer or organization admin provides their own mobile number during Dueflow onboarding to receive operational alerts about their organization.

Mobile numbers are never shared with third parties or affiliates for marketing purposes.

## Message frequency

Message frequency varies based on your organization's billing schedule and the reminder cadence configured by your treasurer. Most recipients receive fewer than 10 messages per month. You will only receive messages tied to outstanding payments, receipts for payments you make, and account events you trigger.

## Charges

Message and data rates may apply. Dueflow does not charge a fee for SMS, but your mobile carrier's standard rates will apply based on your plan.

## How to opt out – STOP

You can opt out at any time by replying STOP to any Dueflow SMS message. We will send a one-time confirmation that you have been unsubscribed and will not send you further SMS messages unless you opt back in. You can also opt out by removing your phone number from your member settings.

To re-subscribe after opting out, reply START to a previous Dueflow SMS message, or re-add your phone number in member settings.

## Help – HELP

For help, reply HELP to any Dueflow SMS message, email [hello@dueflow.co](mailto:hello@dueflow.co), or visit this page.

## Supported carriers

Dueflow SMS works with major U.S. carriers including AT&T, T-Mobile, Verizon Wireless, Sprint, Boost, Cricket, MetroPCS, U.S. Cellular, and others. Carriers are not liable for delayed or undelivered messages.

## Privacy

Information you provide for the SMS program – including your mobile number, opt-in status, and message history – is handled under the Dueflow [Privacy Policy](/privacy). No mobile information will be shared with third parties or affiliates for marketing or promotional purposes. Information shared with subprocessors solely to deliver SMS (e.g., our SMS gateway provider) is excluded from this restriction.

The Service enables organizations to manage membership dues, process payments, track billing across chapters and national organizations, operate online storefronts for merchandise and event tickets, and streamline financial operations. The Service is provided "as is" and Dueflow reserves the right to modify, suspend, or discontinue the Service at any time.

## 5. Store and Marketplace

Dueflow provides tools that enable organizations to create storefronts and sell merchandise, event tickets, and other items directly to their members and the public. When using the Store feature, you acknowledge and agree that:

- Dueflow is not the seller of any goods or services listed in organization storefronts. Dueflow acts solely as a payment facilitator and technology platform that enables peer-to-peer transactions between organizations (sellers) and their buyers.

- Organizations are solely responsible for the accuracy of product descriptions, pricing, fulfillment of orders, and handling of any returns, refunds, or disputes with buyers.

- Communicating billing policies to their members
- Handling member disputes regarding dues and payments
- Complying with all applicable laws and regulations related to financial transactions, nonprofit governance, and student organization rules
- Maintaining accurate records of their membership and financial transactions
- Ensuring that all persons collecting funds on behalf of the organization are authorized to do so and that collected funds are used for legitimate organizational purposes

## 7. Taxes

Dueflow, Stripe, and Whop act solely as payment facilitators and technology providers. None of them calculate, collect, withhold, or remit any tax on transactions processed through the Service, including but not limited to US federal, state, and local sales and use tax, Goods and Services Tax (GST), Value Added Tax (VAT), Harmonized Sales Tax (HST), Provincial Sales Tax (PST), or any similar transaction, excise, or consumption tax.

Organizations and their members are solely responsible for:

- Determining whether any dues, event fees, merchandise sales, reimbursements, or other amounts collected through the Service are taxable in any jurisdiction
- Registering with tax authorities where required
- Calculating, collecting, reporting, and remitting any applicable tax
- Issuing invoices, receipts, or tax documentation required by applicable law
- Complying with income tax, nonprofit reporting (including IRS Form 990 where applicable), and any obligations relating to 1099-K or similar payment-processor reporting

Dueflow may provide transaction-level reporting for your convenience but does not provide tax advice. You should consult a qualified tax professional. You agree to indemnify and hold Dueflow, its payment processors, and their respective affiliates harmless from any tax, penalty, interest, claim, or liability arising from your transactions on the Service.

## 8. Acceptable Use

- Upload, transmit, or distribute malicious code, viruses, worms, ransomware, or any other harmful content

- Use any robot, spider, scraper, headless browser, or other automated means to access, extract, or index the Service or any data contained within it (including member lists, payment histories, rosters, or pricing), except for public pages expressly permitted by our robots.txt
- Circumvent, disable, or interfere with authentication, rate limits, billing, fee calculation, inventory limits, or any security or access-control mechanism, including by manipulating client-side values, tampering with requests, or exploiting bugs rather than reporting them
- Engage in credential stuffing, password spraying, account enumeration, email-address harvesting, session hijacking, or any attempt to access another user's or organization's account or data
- Use the Service to test, validate, or process stolen, unauthorized, or prepaid payment instruments; conduct card testing or BIN attacks; or otherwise submit transactions you are not authorized to submit
- Initiate chargebacks, reversals, or disputes on transactions you authorized, or otherwise engage in payment fraud, including first-party ('friendly') fraud, synthetic-identity fraud, or collusive disputes
- Misrepresent fees, surcharges, or the identity of the organization collecting funds; impersonate any Dueflow employee, treasurer, member, or other person; or create accounts using false or misleading information
- Process transactions for any business, product, or service prohibited by Stripe's Restricted Businesses list or Whop's Acceptable Use Policy, including (without limitation) firearms and weapons, controlled substances, adult content, gambling and games of chance, multi-level-marketing or pyramid schemes, counterfeit goods, and any business that requires a license you do not hold

- Resell, sublicense, white-label, or provide the Service as a managed service to third parties, or otherwise commercially exploit the Service, without a separate written agreement with Dueflow
- Use the Service if you are under 13 years old, or process payments from persons you know to be under 13 without verifiable parental consent

## 9. Fraud Prevention and Investigation

Dueflow takes payment fraud, account abuse, and misuse of the Service seriously. To protect users, organizations, and our payment partners, Dueflow reserves the right, at its sole discretion and without prior notice, to:

- Investigate any transaction, account, or activity we reasonably suspect of violating these Terms, applicable law, or the policies of our payment processors
- Delay, hold, block, or reverse any transaction; freeze payouts; require additional verification; or refund a payment back to its source
- Suspend, restrict, or terminate any account or organization, including withholding access to funds pending investigation
- Request and receive documentation, including identity verification (KYC), proof of address, invoices, member rosters, governing documents, or evidence of authority to collect funds
- Share information about suspected fraud, abuse, or unlawful activity with our payment processors (including Stripe and Whop), card networks (which may result in listing on the MATCH or similar databases), banks, regulators, and law-enforcement authorities
- Cooperate with subpoenas, court orders, and lawful government requests, and to preserve evidence relevant to an investigation

You agree to cooperate in good faith with any investigation and to respond promptly to requests for information. Knowingly providing false information in response to an investigation is a material breach of these Terms.

## 10. Security Vulnerability Disclosure

If you believe you have discovered a security vulnerability in the Service, please report it to security@dueflow.co. Do not publicly disclose the issue until Dueflow has had a reasonable opportunity to address it. Do not access, modify, or exfiltrate data belonging to other users, and do not conduct testing that could degrade the Service. Dueflow will not pursue legal action against good-faith security researchers who follow this policy.

## 11. Privacy and Data

Your privacy is important to us. We collect and use information in accordance with our Privacy Policy. By using the Service, you consent to the collection and use of your information as described in our Privacy Policy. This includes financial information necessary for payment processing and membership management.

## 12. Intellectual Property

The Service and its original content, features, and functionality are and will remain the exclusive property of Dueflow and its licensors. The Service is protected by copyright, trademark, and other laws. You may not reproduce, distribute, or create derivative works based on the Service without our express written permission.

## 13. Copyright, User Content, and DMCA

The Service allows organizations and users to upload and share content such as images, logos, product photos, receipts, documents, rosters, and text (“User Content”). You retain ownership of your User Content. By submitting User Content, you grant Dueflow a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free license to host, store, reproduce, and display that content solely to operate and provide the Service.

You represent and warrant that you own or have the necessary rights to your User Content and that it does not infringe any third party's copyright, trademark, privacy, publicity, or other rights. You are solely responsible for your User Content.

Dueflow respects intellectual-property rights and complies with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA). If you believe content on the Service infringes your copyright, send a written notice to our designated agent that includes: (1) your physical or electronic signature; (2) identification of the copyrighted work claimed to be infringed; (3) identification of the material claimed to be infringing and its location on the Service; (4) your contact information; (5) a statement that you have a good-faith belief the use is not authorized; and (6) a statement, under penalty of perjury, that the information is accurate and you are authorized to act on the owner's behalf.

Designated copyright agent: send notices to [copyright@dueflow.co](mailto:copyright@dueflow.co). We will remove or disable access to infringing material and will notify the affected user, who may submit a counter-notice. We terminate the accounts of repeat infringers in appropriate circumstances.

## 14. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Dueflow, its affiliates, officers, directors, employees, agents, and payment-processor partners from and against any and all claims, liabilities, damages, losses, costs, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out of or related to: (a) your access to or use of the Service; (b) your violation of these Terms or any applicable law; (c) your violation of any third-party right, including any intellectual-property or privacy right; (d) any tax obligation described in Section 7; (e) any dispute between your organization and its members regarding dues, fees, refunds, or membership status; and (f) any fraudulent, unauthorized, or otherwise improper transaction submitted through your account.

Dueflow is not liable for any disputes between organizations and their members regarding dues, payments, or membership status. Dueflow's aggregate liability for any claim arising out of or related to the Service will not exceed the greater of (a) the total fees paid by you to Dueflow in the twelve (12) months preceding the event giving rise to the claim or (b) one hundred US dollars (\$100).

## 16. Termination

We may terminate or suspend your account and bar access to the Service immediately, without prior notice or liability, at our sole discretion, for any reason, including but not limited to a breach of these Terms, suspected fraud, or a request from a payment processor, regulator, or law-enforcement authority. Upon termination, outstanding payment obligations remain in effect and provisions of these Terms that by their nature should survive termination (including Taxes, Indemnification, Limitation of Liability, and Governing Law) will survive.

## 17. Changes to Terms

We reserve the right to modify or replace these Terms at any time. If a revision is material, we will provide at least 30 days notice prior to any new terms taking effect. What constitutes a material change will be determined at our sole discretion. Your continued use of the Service after the effective date of updated Terms constitutes acceptance of those Terms.

## 18. Binding Arbitration and Class-Action Waiver

**PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY – IT AFFECTS YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS, INCLUDING YOUR RIGHT TO FILE A LAWSUIT IN COURT AND TO HAVE A JURY TRIAL.**

Except as set out below, you and Dueflow agree that any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Service will be resolved by final and binding individual arbitration administered by a recognized arbitration provider under its consumer rules, rather than in court. The Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of this section. Arbitration will take place on documents only or by telephone/video where the amount in dispute allows, or otherwise at a mutually agreed location.

**Class-Action Waiver. You and Dueflow agree that each may bring claims against the other only in an individual capacity, and not as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class, collective, consolidated, or representative proceeding. The arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person's claims or preside over any form of a representative or class proceeding.**

Exceptions. Either party may (a) bring an individual claim in small-claims court, and (b) seek injunctive or equitable relief in court for infringement or misuse of intellectual property or unauthorized access to the Service. Nothing in this section prevents you from reporting concerns to a government agency.

30-Day Right to Opt Out. You may opt out of this arbitration and class-waiver agreement within 30 days of first accepting these Terms by emailing support@dueflow.co with your name, account email, and a clear statement that you opt out of arbitration. Opting out will not affect any other part of these Terms. If you opt out, or if this arbitration agreement is found unenforceable, disputes will be resolved in the courts identified in the Governing Law section.

## 19. Governing Law and Dispute Resolution

Dueflow is operated by a Delaware C corporation. These Terms shall be interpreted and governed by the laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to its conflict-of-laws provisions. Any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Service shall be brought exclusively in the state or federal courts located in Delaware, and you consent to the personal jurisdiction and venue of those courts. The United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods does not apply.

## 20. SMS and RCS Text Messaging

If you provide a mobile number and consent to receive text messages (SMS or RCS) from Dueflow, the following terms apply in addition to our [SMS Messaging Policy](https://www.dueflow.co/sms-policy) and [Privacy Policy](https://www.dueflow.co/privacy).
