Treasurer FAQs:

How should our house determine the social dues amount?
As a house cabinet, look ahead to the semester's expenses and draft a budget. Do not be extravagant, but allow for some flexibility. Take notice of any house equipment that needs to be replaced, and big events such as homecoming and VEISHEA that might require extra expenses. Also keep in mind the goals you've set for programming and social events.
There are two types of dues: mandatory and social.
  • Mandatory dues are billed to students at the beginning of each academic year, so the amount collected from each student is set at $6 per student, per semester. This money is distributed to each hall council account, so you will want to work with your hall council treasurer to transfer the funds to your house account. Mandatory dues can only be used for programs that involve all house members, improvements in facilities, or purchases for the good of the entire house.
  • Social dues are not required, and can be used for social events and programs. However, only those who pay voluntary dues can attend those events/
