What are the cost involved with Delta Tau Delta?

The chapter is self-supported by members dues. These dues pay for all of the chapters events, social functions and all other day-to-day activities. In the first year of membership, a few one time expenses are assessed. After those initial payments are made, expenses will include chapter dues and annual Fraternity dues. Brothers who have trouble with finances will be able to make special arrangements with the chapter treasurer.
