Phi Kappa Tau Announces 2023-2024 Fee Structure

The Phi Kappa Tau National Council has approved the following fee structure for the 2023-2024 school year. This year reflects the first dues increase since 2019. That said, we are pleased that many fees, such as the Association Fee for our newest members and the Chapter Fee, are not increasing. Phi Kappa Tau’s overall fees remain extremely competitive and on the lower end when compared with our interfraternal peers.  

Most of the increases noted are due to substantial inflation over the past several years in the overall economy and in Fraternity expenses. National leadership decided to cap increases to members much lower than the actual rate of inflation since 2019 .  

Each chapter will be billed on September 15th based on the current size of their roster, and chapter leadership will have until September 10th to update their roster in the Phi Kappa Tau portal to accurately reflect brothers who are no longer members or graduated.

III. Chapter Fees - Billed each semester to the chapter as a whole. 

  • NIC Dues - $210 (Increased 19% to align with current NIC fee structure) 

    • Previously $176

  • Chapter Fee - $500 (No increase from previous billing) 

  • Conference/Education Fee - $1,492 (Increased by 17% to account for increased programming cost and educational support)

    • Previously $1,275

      • All chapters will receive a $765 credit towards their Conference/Education Fee for Fall 2023, as authorized by the 65th National Convention of Phi Kappa Tau.

Total: $2,202.00 

Total with Fall Credit: $1,437.00


Understanding your Fall 2023 Bill:  

To calculate what members may pay use the following formula: $273 + ($1,437.00/X)   

  • $273 = Individual Membership Fee  

  • $1,437 = Chapter Fees with Fall Education Credit Applied

  • X = number of members in your chapter 

Here is an example for a chapter with chapter with 45 members: $273 + ($1,437/45) = ~$305.00  

Therefore, each member will be responsible for $305.00 for the semester.
