I don't know what the dues were. I do know that almost all frat members lived in the house and that's roughly what it cost per year.
The school I went to was founded when the Menonite Church donated the land to the State of Illinois. The school's charter forbid the sale of alcohol in town and the formation of fraternities/sororities. The charter contained a clause that the land would revert back to the Menonite Church if it were violated. 130 years later, the university and the town went to court and somehow had the charter invalidated. I attended the university 25 years after that. The Greek community was small (something like 2% of the student body). The houses were big. Most fraternity members were required to live in the houses to be members.
