Residence Halls with Meal plans and sororities

[Jyhunt]

<p>My D is trying to decide which residence hall to apply for in a couple of weeks. Does anyone know for sure if you live in a hall with a mandatory food plan and you join a sorority with a food plan are you still obligated to pay for the meal plan with the residence hall?</p>

<p>The last I heard you are still required to but you may be able to get a discount on the meal plan. My daughters sorority also gives maybe a 200 dollar cut on dues if you are required to have a meal plan on campus.</p>

Keep in mind: If you reside in one of the following residence halls, you are required to have a Meal Plan: Bryan, Broward, Gilchrist, Landis, Cawthon, Reynolds, and Jennie Murphree.</p>

<p><strong><em>If your student is in a mandatory residence hall and also joined a sorority that requires a meal plan, they may purchase a reduced meal plan. This is not available online, as we have to verify their membership with Greek Life. Please have your student come to our office at 945 W Jefferson Street (on campus across from the Wildwood residence hall) to sign up.</em></strong>

<p>Yes, you are still required to purchase a meal plan. I don’t know the specifics, but I think it’s a bit cheaper than the other meal plans. Although again, I don’t know the specifics, and knowing the FSU Dining people, they probably made it more expensive.</p>
