I was doing some research on AKA's, and I noticed something about "re-activation fees" which leads me to believe that if you don't pay some kinda dues, you're out....but then if u want back in you gotta pay. Maybe I got it twisted...
Do you have to pay dues in the frat/soro you're in, and is this like, a normal thing , or just AKA's?

Dues are what keep your organization alive. Without dues there would be a significant amount of money to operate on and the would be of little service world as a whole. Membership does cost a price. I know for PHI MU ALPHA they try not to hit our pockets pretty hard but for the NPHC frat/soro it can add up if money is tight. Its worth it in the long run. I'll let someoone else explain more in-depth, specially bout that reactiviation part.

I understand that they internet is a great way to get (sometimes dumb) questions answered anonymously. I'm not calling your question dumb, but I do think tha it was not well thought out. How do you think the business side of the soroty is run? You can only throw so many parties and have so many fund raisers in order to effectively run an organization, and that's at the chapter level. At the international level, there has to be another way to raise funds. Do you think the basileus and her crew has time, energy, or even the talent to go around the country competing in step shows for money? Think deeper, chile. Quit catching half thoughts in your brain and running to the message boards with these half-thought-out questions. Yu are making yourself look extrememly Jessica Simpsonesque.
