What is your opinion of non-financial/inactive frat or sorors? Do you treat them the same as your other frat/sorors, or does it depend on the reasons that they are non-financial/inactive? Do you encourage frat/sorors who aren't financial because they can't afford to be to still participate in service projects, etc? Does your chapter have anything in place to assist frat/sorors who are having financial issues with remaining financial with your organization? Speak on it!

When first start talking to them and then ask what chapter they be long to and they say they aren't I aint going to lie I get a little sad in on the inside. But you still my sorhor and we can still be cool and ish. I think if you've been active for a while and fall on some hard time I think you should be able to come to the chapter to get sometype of help or discount. But if I don't know you and youv'e been inactive for ten years No. |

For me it's more a function of how long you've been non-financial. When I ask what chapter you're with, if it's a temporary situation (just had a baby, saving for a house, unemployed, etc.) people tend to offer that up in an almost apologetic way. If you can't say or have been inactive since you pledged 10 years ago, being active isn't important. I'm not overly sororly with any folks I don't know, but no responsibility to be active def gets you the hard side eye from me.
My chapter does not offer any financial assistance. We recently doubled our dues and they planned on losing 100+members as a result and built it into the budget. Helping with dues seems a little odd to me . If for example, a new baby has put some stress on your finances I don't get the dues assistance because 1) I'd be more inclined to help you cover the baby expenses and 2) dues are less than half of what it costs me to be active (assessments, etc from the chapter).

I don't think that it should be their place to state their opinion on whether or not a chapter should have intake in order to pay off its debt when they don't even pay dues. Sorry yall, I had to vent a little. LOL!

Mostly when I meet and inactive soror, I just tell her about my chapter and try to encourge them to go to a meeting.. once you get back in the groove some, it kinda pulls you back in. My chapter does not have anything set up for soror going through problems... sad to say, but sorors would probably find a way to take advantage of that!

Inactive or Un-Financial. One or the other. You can't be both. I understand that life happens. It happens for everyone. But break a sweat or cut a check - you can almost always be doing one of the two.
Our chapter has bills. We give out scholarships every year... that money doesn't come from nowhere.
Also, no one (at least not me) is saying where you have to break that sweat. It doesn't have to be through a particular chapter - it's lot's of chapters but one frat. If you give back by making sure your undergrad chapter is on point with their mandated programs - that is working for Omega. Or if you're making sure they're doing the proper fundraising so that they can be in attendance at the Leadership Conference, Districts, or Clave... that's work for Omega.
If you choose not to go to Chapter meetings but support Blood Drive, We Feed Our People, Thanksgiving and Christmas food distribution, Project Giveback, talent hunt, scholarship programs, voter registration, etc. - that's work for Omega.
Maybe there's just some programs that you care deeply about and you support them even if you don't care to sit through committee meetings. Fine. Whatever. But do something. The Bruhz are involved in way too many projects (both with internal and external focus) that you can't find 4 things that you can support.

I was a member of a grad chapter in another city that has a function every year that is the big money earner for them. Every brother was expected to sell at least 10 tickets. As an incentive for brothers to sell more tickets, if we sold 25 tickets then you didn't have to worry about paying national dues because the chapter would pay it. If you sold, say, 50 tickets, then your chapter AND national dues were paid for you. |

My chapter does make a way for you and will cover you until you can get right...but only for a certain amount of time. Don't try to ride that train to kingdom come cause shut down it will get! I'm extremely hard up when it comes to dues and activism!

Niggas only care about money out here. I bet that I could be a pedophile and a murderer. But as long as I paid dues and donated $10,000 a year to the grad chapter, niggas would be kissing my feet.
Chapters do not care about you. Just keep quiet, send in the checks, and get the glory. Brotherhood/Sisterhood is for sale.
