DUES & FEES
FALL 2023
MEMBERSHIP RESPONSIBILITY - FINANCIAL
Just like any membership organization or club, civic group and professional or trade association, membership dues are a part of ensuring the consistency and longevity of the experience provided to members.
As a not-for-profit corporation, dues and fees are collected and reinvested to the direct benefit of the member. This is accomplished through the intentional and targeted programming provided to develop women of substance, character and influence.
WHAT IS INCLUDED?
ANNUAL FRATERNITY DUES
Fraternity dues are paid on an annual basis by all active members and cover yearly operating expenses and chapter services, including insurance coverage, technology services, chapter & member support services, chapter & member programming, member recognition and Fraternity operating expenses.
LOCAL DUES
Local dues vary by chapter and cover campus Panhellenic dues, activities hosted by the chapter and housing fees (if applicable).
*Rent, meal plans and parking are not paid on Billhighway and are billed separately through the Phi Sigma Sigma website.
PAYMENT PLAN OPTIONS
Members had the ability to choose from four payment plan options, allowing them to choose the plan that works best for their financial situation:
-
1 Payment – The member will be billed in one full payment on July 1
-
3 Payment – The member will be billed for dues in 3 installments on July 1, August 1 and September 1
-
4 Payment – The member will be billed in 4 installments on July 1, August 1, September 1 and October 1
-
Deferred – The deferred payment option is for members who are experiencing financial hardship, waiting for scholarships, grants, or student loans before remitting payment. The member will be billed in one invoice for the full amount on October 1 but will be able to pay towards their dues before that date.
Each bill will be sent on the first (1) of the month and is due on the 21 of the month. Members who do not pay their bill on time will be billed late fees by Billhighway. Late fee amount is 5% of the total balance due and is added on the 26 of the month. Additionally, members with balances that are more than 14 days past due will be at risk of membership suspension.
Billing type changes for fall 2023 were due on May 15, 2023. Any change made after that date incurs a $25 fee. Members wanting to inquire about a billing type change must email billing@phisigmasigma.org.
BILLING REMINDERS
Members will automatically receive a statement from Billhighway on the first of the month with your monthly invoice. Members will also receive a reminder email from Phi Sigma Sigma HQ on the 15 and 20 of the month.
