Zeta Phi Beta Sorority, Inc. Dr. Yvonne Jefferson-Barnes, Regional Director Shirley Howard, Southeastern Region Tamias Grammateus 2354 Richwood Drive, Augusta, GA 30906 [email protected] Greetings Sorors:

Thank you so much for allowing me to serve you again as your Regional Tamias Grammateus. The Financial Team is always looking to improve the dues paying process for you. We are going to have another great year, so let’s get it started. Our sorority year is 2017-2018. You can start paying dues on July 1, 2017. There are two payment options, online through Member Planet or by mail. If paying by mail, all checks/money orders/cashier checks are to be made payable to ZETA PHI BETA SORORITY, INC.-SER. The financial forms MUST be received by me on or before October 31 to avoid late fees.

The SER Financial Form is a fillable Excel document and it will calculate the amounts for you. Before inputting information in the financial sections, please ensure that you do not type over any formulas created to help you. Please submit the following financial forms with your method of payment:

 Member Planet: Under Membership on the online payment form it will ask you to “upload a copy” of the *National Form B you submit to National. The Member Planet link to pay dues is: https://www.memberplanet.com/s/se_zphib/2017_2018assessments

 Mail In: Include one copy of the SER Financial Form and one copy of the *National Form B that you submitted to National with your chapter check, money order or cashier check.

*Please remember that when you complete National Form B, fill in the Membership Status (far right) with the correct status code. Please do not leave it blank. The bottom of National Form A contains the membership status codes available for use. Use the New Membership Intake (MIP) Financial Form B, Chapter Intake Roster for new members. “DO NOT FORGET TO UPLOAD YOUR FORM B!”

The report for Graduate Chapters should include:  $60 Chapter tax (Mandatory 1x payment each sorority year)  $25 Undergraduate/Youth Leadership Development (Mandatory 1x payment for all Graduate Chapters each year )  $25 Per Soror Capita Tax  $10 Late fee per Soror after October 31 deadline.  Report Status: Mark Initial for first report submitted or supplemental for all other reports submitted.

Remember Reclaimed Sorors do not pay late fees and Transfers from outside of the Southeastern Region must pay regional dues.

Sorors who are planning to attend the 2017 Regional Conference in November this year you must be financial prior to submitting a conference registration form. Conference registration forms will not be processed until financial status has been verified. Questions will be directed to the chapter Basileus and the chapter member. Please feel free to contact me at (H) 706.796.0334 or (C) 706.993.6386 if you have any questions.
