Meal Plans

PHC & IFC chapters with on-campus houses offer meals for a fee, typically lunch and dinner, to all members including those who do not live in the on-campus chapter house. In many cases, the cost of a sorority/fraternity meal plan is required for all members regardless of if they already have an LSU Dining meal plan or live off campus.

What if I already have a meal plan?

New members with existing LSU Dining meal plans have the option to reduce their existing plan to the Greek 8 Plan since they can not cancel an LSU Dining meal plan. It is the individual member's responsibility to request to switch their LSU Residential Plan to the Greek 8 Meal Plan.

The plan includes eight Tiger Meals per week, plus $350 paw points for a total cost of $1,520. See important notes on refund and payment.

How to Switch to the Greek 8 Meal Plan:

Step One

Ask your sorority/fraternity new member educator if your new organization has a required meal plan. If the answer is yes, proceed to Step Two.

If the answer is “no, but we have an optional one” talk with your family or support system and decide if you want to purchase the sorority/fraternity plan and request the Greek 8 or just keep your LSU Plan as is.  If you decide to request Greek 8, proceed to Step Two. 

 

Step Two

Complete the Greek 8 Dining Plan Request Form  by September 10th, 2024 by 11:59 pm. 

 

Step Three

Ensure you received a confirmation email stating you submitted the form.  If not, complete the form again. 

 

Step Four

Check your LSU Fee Bill two-weeks following the deadline to ensure your refund* has been posted.

 

Refunds & Payments*

After choosing the Greek 8 Meal Plan, the monetary difference between their original LSU Dining plan and the Greek 8 will be refunded to their LSU Fee Bill. The new member is responsible for paying for their organization’s meal plan through whichever method the chapter requires. The refund to the fee bill is not automatically applied to the sorority/fraternity meal plan.

The refund may be left on the fee bill and applied to any future LSU charges or the member may request a check be mailed to them via the Bursar’s Office.
