Fraternity Costs and Requirements

frat-cost-hdr

Fraternities are a communal living experience.  It’s comparable in cost to living in an apartment and buying all your own food.  And it comes with the life-long experiences, friendships, learning, connections and personal responsibilities that grow out of living together with a diverse group of individuals.  The foundation of that ongoing community is a commitment to the financial and physical well-being of the chapter.  Every man counts.  And every man is asked to do his equal and required share for his personal benefit and the good of the whole.

COSTS PER SCHOOL YEAR:

  • All costs per school year are detailed in the lease agreement administered by Sunnyside Property Management. No changes are allowed to the lease agreement. Potential New Members and their parents are strongly advised to clearly understand their financial obligations prior to accepting a “bid” to join Sigma Nu.
  • The lease includes costs for:
  1. Monthly Single Room & Board: Meal plan cost is mandatory. Monthly rent is discounted if received by early lease signing date.
  2. Monthly Utilities: Flat rate charged per month.
  3. Annual Security Deposit: Due when your lease is signed. Security deposit is discounted if received by early lease signing date.
  4. Fraternity Dues: Charged per semester. Utilized for social activities, Rush, athletic, philanthropic and both Colorado IFC and National Fraternity obligations. The active chapter reserves the right to adjust the dues amount.
