Letter from the Director of Finance
Dear
Parents,
My name is Kat, and I, along with my assistant, Arian, are responsible
for handling Alpha Phi's finances. This includes managing our sorority's
budget and working with individual sisters to fulfill their needs in
meeting their financial responsibility. In addition, I act as the financial
liason between our chapter and MIT, Alpha Phi International, and of course,
the parents.
In a nutshell, members of Alpha Phi are expected to pay yearly membership
dues, and semesterly housebills, which include boarding and food. More
detailed information regarding the financial responsibility of Alpha
Phi sisters is found below.
If you have any questions regarding any financial
aspect of the sorority, please do not hesitate to contact me at kmr22@mit.edu.
I will be happy to address any concerns you may have.
Sincerely,
Kathryn Routhier
Director of Finance
