Chapter houses

Poster Message:
Y'all don't seem to understand that a sorority's nationals doesn't build or finance chapter houses. The money for a chapter's house comes from the chapter. Nationals will advise a chapter and help them negotiate with the school for land and help the chapter get a bank loan if the chapter can fundraise to get a downpayment of 20% of the total cost, and if the chapter also shows that it can sustain the cost of the mortgage which is the other 80% through member dues and housing fees. So two things have to happen for a new house or an expansion: enough members to generate the money to pay the monthly note and keep the house running, and enough alumnae willing to donate to the chapter in the first place. If one of these is missing then a new or expanded house is a no-go. No sorority nationals is rolling in billions of dollars to go around building chapter houses.
