What about the cost?
Mu Sigma Chapter's dues can be expensive, but the benefits far outweigh the costs. This money goes to pay for insurance for the chapter, social functions that the chapter holds, and other administrative costs. If you are interested but think you may have trouble financially, do not hesitate to ask. We have supportive Alumni who are often able to help brothers and support them by paying dues for free or providing work. If there are any questions about cost, make sure to talk to the chapter as this should not prohibit a person from joining. We make every attempt to help support the costs through providing payment programs, fund raising, as well as Alumni support.
