In the event that a chapter is not managing its finances properly, the following policy will be put into action.

Financial Deliquency Policy
  • At 30 Days: Warning Letter – An e-mail will be sent to the chapter president, chapter treasurer, BOG chairman, financial advisor and Domain Director informing all parties of the delinquency and requesting immediate action.
  • At 60 Days: Suspension of Chapter Activities – The chapter/colony leaders are required to pay in full or contact the Executive Offices to begin arrangements to pay their obligation with a payment plan. All chapter activities will be suspended pending written verification that an acceptable plan of action has been put in place.
  • If an Executive Offices' invoice on the chapter account exceeds 30 days, a finance charge of 1.5 percent a month (18 percent a year) will be assessed against the invoice balance.
