Room and board are different then. You have to pay that whether you're in a frat or not. At my school the frat house land and structures belonged to the university and so were priced the same as all other dorms for room and board. Some had a kitchen and cook, so that was considered part of the meal plan. But the dues were $200 per semester and that was all I paid over and above what I would have paid, had I not been in a frat.
I still don't get how anyone thinks you're paying for friends. Did anyone here who was in a frat
not have non-frat friends? I sure had plenty. Lots of people belong to organizations where they have to pay member dues to fund the org's activities and become close friends with other members. Anyone here tithe 10% to their church and have a lot of friends there? Is that paying for friends? How many of you have close friends who can't pay for anything and you end up treating them every time you do something?
