Over half of our Greek Chapter social events were canceled this semester. Allowing each Chapter at least a $1,000 credit for each dues paying member. Most Chapters have 50 - 200 members. That adds up to $50 - $200,000 that needs to be refunded to their Chapter members.

Lets not allow these Chapter officer seniors to pocket our money and leave campus after graduation. We have seen this movie too many times at UT.

Why there was at least 8 members always running for Chapter Treasurer. Then 5 or more running for Social Chairman and Prez. The Treasurer has immediate acce$$ to our ca$h account. The Social Chairman can negotiate lower party and supply costs and charge the Chapter full price. The Prez will usually charge the Chapter for a limo and suite at our Fall/Spring formal hotel.

Pressed hard via numerous solicitations for those running for Treasurer last Spring. I now clearly understand why...

Just got a look at our final social schedule for the semester.
Totally Lame, for ALL of the Money we paid this semester.

Everyone is right.
The Greek System at UT Austin is a Ponzi scheme for it's Chapter Officers.
They must be skimming at least 25% of the Chapter budget for personal use.

Contact the UT IFC, however they are in cahoots with the fraternity officers.
Best option is the UT Student Affairs Department. Hopefully you can locate an honest administrator who is willing to investigate the on-going rampant inner-chapter fraudulent budget skimming.

by: Fiji and SAE's dues!!!   

Why in the world are Fiji and SAE's dues above 6 grand a semester? I understand Fiji partially since they have the biggest mansion in Austin. But SAE? $9k a semester?

That's SMU's yearly tuition after being an active for 8 semesters. Even still, most fraternities in the SEC with gigantic mansions don't have dues that expensive (minus FSU and Alabama).

Someone explain the context to me because I'm genuinely curious. How are FIJI and SAE so expensive?

I give it 10 years before SigEp becomes just as popular as those two considering Fiji, SAE, and SigEp are composed of the same type of kids. SigEp is just more affordable with $3k a semester.

I cannot afford to give $10 grand in annual fraternity dues and get back @ $2 grand in actual value. Our fraternity is not a charity and the Chapter Officers really do financially benefit from our Chapter finances.

If our Chapter continues to allow our Officers to spend our dues almost at their discretion, I will not be an active my Junior/next year. It stinks to be ripped off in such a major way.

Spoke to a Graduating Chapter Officer who confessed to skimming their Chapter's budget for personal use. He stated all of the other officers were doing it as well. He acknowledged it did not make it right but there was no oversight to stop them. No one in the Chapter had the time or interest to monitor the Chapter financial budget. He plans to make Chapter donations in the future to diminish his guilt.

Since most UT Greek Chapter Officers clandestinely draw money from Chapter budgets, may I suggest just paying Chapter Officers a per semester salary. It may make financial sense because the salary in most cases would be below what they are stealing from the Chapters now. A net financial gain for Greek UT Chapters. Think about it!
