<p>I often wonder if those who claim Greeks “pay for their friends” actually know what the dues pay for. Here are a few things off the top of my head. With a physical house there are a lot of expenses like maintenance, possibly a mortgage, staff salaries, utilities, and insurance. Some chapters have kitchens so meal plans are included. All orgs have administrative costs to run a chapter. With social events there are costs such as possible venue rental, security, occasionally transportation like buses. Each chapter pays dues to the local campus Panhellenic/IFC as well as their Inter/National org.</p>
<p>Just some things to keep in mind. All greek orgs are not for profit.</p>
