Payment Plan Options

Alpha Chi Omega

Alpha Epsilon Phi

Two payment plan options: pay the amount due in full up to 25 days after the bill is issued or opt into paying in three monthly installments worth $192 each.

Dues payment plans are available by request for sisters wishing to pay their dues in installments.

Dues can be paid in one large sum, three sums (September, October, January) or monthly (September-March).

Alpha Omicron Pi Alpha

Corporation Fees are billed separately, by National Headquarters, and follow the payment plan selected by the individual member. This payment plan follows the same structure.

We offer a $50 discount if members choose to pay annually. We offer 3 standard payment plans (annual, semester, and installments - 3 installments per semester). We also offer custom payment plans and delayed payments to members who require assistance or receive financial aid.

Members can pay their dues for the semester all at once or in monthly payments. Bills are addressed to members on the first of each month (September-December for the Fall semester; and January-April for the Spring semester) and are due on the 10th of said month.

Eta Theta offers two main different ways of paying one’s dues The first option is to pay the full term in one installment, being due on September 15th. The second option is to pay the term in three installments; which would be due on September 15th, November 15th, and December 15th If a member knows that they will need extended time or will have trouble paying their dues off, we offer promissory notes. This can create a unique payment plan for that member, to lessen the trouble of fitting a strict time to pay off dues

Option to apply for a payment plan and pay in three installments throughout the semester instead of 1 payment at the beginning of semester.

Payment Plan Options

Phi Sigma Rho

Candidates are required to pay dues in 3 installments, each occurring 2 weeks apart with the first payment due 2 weeks after Inductions. Active members have the option to pay in full at one date or pay in 3 installments over time. We also offer financial assistance for active sisters, but if it is a concern to a candidate we’re able to open it up to them depending on circumstances.

Pi Beta Phi

After the initial $99 payment when a new member joins, they then have three weeks to pay the remaining balance.

After their first semester, then dues can be paid by a payment plan which is typically in quarters
