ccrazy: nationals is $35 for initiation and $15 for actives, pledge fees is $20
jamwno: we pay nationals that.
riv: yeah
ccrazy: previously, the initiation fee had been the national fee + chapter dues
ccrazy: the last time that happened we didn't do that because that's a lot
jamwno: recently it's been all pledge and initiation fees go to nationals and
jamwno: the Annual Active Membership Fees are split
riv: so no changes for active dues unless people want to change something
riv: so we're striking...
ccrazy: read the sentence.
riv: asdfjalksd alksdjf aslkdjf aksdjf akesjtkajsef askdf asdlkf
jamwno: actives pay $35 a term
riv: chapter dues are changing from $22.50 to $27.50. initiation fees...
riv: $35 to nationals, $7.50 to next term fees, $4 for service pin and then
riv: we subsidize $6.50
