WHAT DOES FRATERNITY MEMBERSHIP COST?

Considering the advantages of fraternity living, fraternities offer the "best bargain" in education at The University of Iowa. For your information, comparative rates for the average costs of living in fraternity, residence hall, approved, and unapproved housing are listed below:

Table:
FRATERNITY
Room: $48.00, Board: $52.00, Dues: $21.00, Total pr. mo.: $121.00, Total pr. yr.: $1089.00

DORMITORY
Room: $63.65, Board: $60.00, Dues: $1.00, Total pr. mo.: $124.65, Total pr. yr.: $1112.80

MAYFLOWER
Room: $101.00, Board: $50.00, Dues: $1.00, Total pr. mo.:$152.00, Total pr. yr.: $1359.00

LAKESIDE MANOR
Room: $75.00, Board: $50.00, Dues: $1.00, Total pr. mo.: $126.00, Total pr. yr.: $1125.00

Fraternity costs also include two items paid only once, the pledging fee and initiation fee. The pledging fee averages $20.00 and among other things pays for your pledge pin and pledge book. Initiation fees average $75.00 and are paid at time of activation. In many fraternities the initiation fee includes a lifetime subscription to the national fraternity magazine.

Note that these figures are an average of all the various types of living facilities offered by these housing units. The board costs of Mayflower and Lakeside Manor are estimates.

These figures are accurate as of May of 1970 and are subject to change next fall.

With all its advantages, fraternity membership costs represent only 2 per cent of an average college man's expenses. This figure comes from a report of the United States Office of Education. A nation-wide survey revealed that undergraduate members' outlays for their national and chapter fraternity dues amounted to 1.5 per cent of total school expenditures at private colleges and 1.9 per cent at tax-supported state institutions.

When you consider how much more you will get from your college education as a fraternity man, this slight added expense becomes the finest investment you can make. It pays dividends not in college, but for a lifetime.
