Required 10% Fee to Your Greek Organization’s National Headquarters?

Posted on July 12th, 2010 by Merritt Patterson | Filed under Blog, Business, SMU, University Park

Clearly I’m a bit late to this super old breaking news. But when I paid for this item at McCartney’s I thought the total sounded a bit high. The price tag said $21.99 but I had to pay $26.19. It wasn’t until later that I noticed this little tag notifying customers of a required 10% fee added to the purchase. Never heard of such a thing. I did a little research and discovered there’s a bunch of racket that shook out over a law suit in 2008 and the fee is a crazy solution to some big problem.

Don’t get me wrong, I support bags of money being shipped off to Chi O headquarters but can’t we just have this built into the price? You know, instead of $21.99 on the tag it could say $24 or whatever. I’m just sayin’.

    My opium guy does the same thing for his tribe back in Afghanistan. Gotta pick your battles, I guess.

    You’re number one O-N-E with the Chi C-H-I Omega! You’re Chi Omega!!!!

    The real questions are, why are you buying letters? Do you still wear them? Come clean . . . how much of your wardrobe is yellow and red?
