Hey guys welcome back to the channel welcome back to the video it is deja and i am back with another video honey what’s good was popping for those of you who are new here hi welcome um for those of you are not new here what’s up what’s good what’s
Poppin whether you’re new or you’re not make sure you are subscribing to my channel honey because you know why not you know what i’m saying um whether or not you are or um if you are subscribed to my channel thank you so much for tuning in everybody just go
Ahead and give this video a thumbs up and also subscribe if you are not all right so without further ado we are going to be talking about dues uh so many people have been asking me over and over again like how much money should i save what is
This what is it and i know that um i’ve kind of touched a little bit about dudes but um i’m going to make a quick video again about it just you know giving you guys a little bit more detail or as much as i can just because
It’s like a spoken rule that we don’t discuss dues with people um if people give you an exact amount of how much you should save then they’re probably lying um just because what i paid is not what you’re going to pay what you paid is not going
To be what i’m going to pay it ranges and it varies from chapter to chapter region to region um organization to organization honey okay so i don’t want you guys to be mistaken and just think like okay well my friend that’s uh in whatever organization said that she
Paid this much then maybe i have to pay that much no because it range literally you guys i’ve heard of people paying like as low as five hundred dollars and then i’ve heard of people paying as much as two thousand dollars so it really range like everything that goes into how much
You pay depends on the chapter the organization and the region that you’re in so yeah like i would never share exactly like what i had to pay just because that is personal information and i just don’t feel like what i paid is what you guys are going to pay now
Take into account you guys you do have to take into account that if you are first joining you might be paying the most amount of money that you will be paying unless you’re in a graduate chapter because honey the dudes the dudes are kicking people’s butt okay
And it is one of the main reasons why i was so hesitant on joining the graduate chapter because of the duels because i was just like oh my goodness i want to make sure that i’m financially stable personally before i even try to give my money to
A luxury like that um and that’s personally how i feel about it uh it’s no no shade or anything to my organization but that is like i talked about it before my channel so um just as far as like the dues like you guys have to understand um when you’re first joining you’re
Paying for a lot of stuff i know like when i was first joining i was paying for like my line jacket some more perry i was paying for um i was also you know i had to pay for probate outfits and um probate promo like it’s so much money that goes into it
Um as to why you’re paying so much stuff so you know for say for example um also when i was first joining we had boule and we had like different conferences that we were going to attend we had to include that into our new membership um fee so
Yeah you guys have to like take into account that there are like chapter dues and then they’re like the national organization dues as well that goes into account of like dues as far as like what you’re paying um i know for undergraduates it’s a little bit easier just because you are
Um you’re not paying monthly dues i’ve heard from other organizations that you do have to pay monthly dues now i’m not sure exactly like the ins and outs of other organizations because i don’t really care um and it’s not my place to so you know
That’s not what i have to deal with so i’m not going to worry about that as far as like moving forward with you guys um a lot of you have felt comfortable enough to come and ask me and you know ask me like hey how much should i save
I’ll give you guys like a borrow part of what i um think most people should save and that is literally i always say either 1200 to 1500 um that’s not saying that that’s what i paid but i feel like if you can save that much then yes save that much and
Then if it’s more or if it’s less you have more money that you need to grab or it’s less money that you have to spend if that makes sense i don’t want anybody that is an interest or anything like that to ask people hey how much do you pay like
I remember it was a time where i was an interest and i had went to an event it was the event right before i started pledging um it was like a little sipping tea type of event uh really cute and um this one girl she had actually asked
Like hey is there a payment plan no it’s no payment plans um at least not for my organization i can’t speak to any other organization but i’m assuming like you know if you got the money you got the money and that’s why so many people don’t um end up crossing because of financial
Um um because of financial reasons so it’s very unfortunate when people don’t know and i understand the urge to want to ask just because you guys asked me everything else but this is just something that i cannot give you an exact answer on just because i don’t know what uh this chapter of
This organization is going to be having you pay um because what i personally paid even if you’re trying to get into my organization what i personally pay for my organization at that specific chapter is not what you’re going to pay at your organization down in atlanta or georgia or
Whoever wherever else you at like that’s not going what that’s not most likely gonna be what you’re gonna pay regardless of it’s the same organization so for the young ladies that have been asking me i’m sorry that i can’t really give you an answer and i’m not trying to like not be
Transparent with you guys it’s just like a spoken rule that we don’t share the amount that we paid just because of the simple fact what i paid is not going to be what you paid um or vice versa you know what i’m saying so i can’t really answer that question for you guys
Um just know that you need to be saving your money because it is no payment plan and um just to be safe and just to give you guys a quick a simple answer i would say save um close to fifteen thousand dollars or fifteen thousand shout out fifteen hundred say fifteen hundred uh
If you got fifteen thousand she wanna give me then go on here i’ll leave my cash out down below now let’s get it but yeah like i just personally feel like that is a good amount to save um just because it could be more than that it could be less than that but
Who knows it depends on the chapter the organization and the region that you’re in um many things goes into um dues you know like many things goes into do so you just have to take into account of everything now unfortunately for most chapters they don’t give a breakdown of
What you’re actually paying for i know when i started out they didn’t give us a breakdown they didn’t tell us okay so this is why you’re paying this x amount of money um it’s for this business later down the line they told us okay well we going to this conference and then we
Like okay so how much is the entry fee or whatever the case may be and like you don’t have to worry about it you pay for it when you paid your membership dues or fees when you first you know started or joined the chapter so that was something also um now if
You’re lucky enough to have a chapter that breaks down everything that you’re paying for bless up to you guys because then you’ll be seeing where your money go and it honestly might be things that you don’t want to pay for but at the end of the day it’s kind of like
You you’re going to pay for it or you’re not you know i’m saying it’s kind of like you all in or you not um you don’t get to pick and choose of what you want to pay for because at the end of the day the organization’s going to move on
Without you you know what i’m saying whether you pay it or not so yeah i don’t suggest you guys i don’t i highly recommend that you guys do not ask members how much did you pay just because it is none of your business on what they
Paid um and if a member gives you um say it’s like you’re an interest and the line hasn’t started or anything like that and they uh you accidents like hey how much did you pay um if they give you an answer right then and there and the line hasn’t started
They haven’t done anything about moving forward with the line then they don’t know what they’re talking about honey and that’s just to that on that um because it has to go to headquarters as well for each organization it has to get approved they tell them what you have to pay
People don’t just come out with these amounts out of the ass you know what i’m saying like we actually decide we actually vote on this we actually hear from headquarters advisors they tell us this is how much money this is what it’s going to go into
So i don’t want people to get confused that uh members know all the way what they’re talking about and that’s no shade but you just want to be careful you don’t want to be led the wrong way you don’t want to be told hey yes save this amount and then when it comes
To you paying now you have to come up with extra 500 because they told you one amount and now it’s just kind of like what and that’s why most people drop because of financial reasons and i’m not trying to be not transparent with you guys and
Not share as much as i normally do but it’s literally like what i paid is my business what you will pay is your business i don’t want to know you shouldn’t want to know i’ll give you guys a range like i said 12 to 1500 um but
Yeah i hope you guys enjoyed the video don’t be upset with me if i couldn’t share that much but it’s just a spoken rule in the greek community that we should not really talk much about what we paid um because everybody did not pay what we paid
So yeah i hope you guys enjoyed this video don’t forget to like comment subscribe and i will see you guys in my next video bye guys
