Does Sigma Lambda Beta have a fraternity house on Greek Row?
No, Sigma Lambda Beta has no official houses at any college campus because of the increased cost in membership fees and the liability it poses on our members and our Fraternity.
what is the price for becoming a member?
The new member fee is $400 and is a one-time non-refundable payment that will be broken into an induction fee ($200) at the beginning on the new member’s education process and an initiation fee ($200) collected about half-way. This fee covers the certificate and pins each member receives as well as the general liability insurance the fraternity is required to maintain per member, and the overall general operation costs of the fraternity.
Thereafter, membership fee is $150 per semester which helps fund the fraternity’s general operating costs, resources available to our members, our full-time staff, as well as the liability insurance the fraternity is required to maintain per member.
