Finance

Theta Chi Fraternity is a self-supporting, non-profit organization. This means that any money that we
spend comes from within. Our house dues go towards things such as our officer budgets, a travel fund
for events, insurance fees to the International Headquarters, house improvements, social events, among other things. You can find the breakdown of our dues below.

*Averaged from the rates provided on NDSU’s website. Rent was computed by averaging fall and spring rates and adding the average fee (considering if you were to live in your own room, corner room, etc.). Meal Plan was calculated based on an average of the two on-campus meal plan options.
