They usually do, but that doesnt pay for much. It costs a LOT to upkeep those houses, especially given the exceptionally stringent safety codes imposed upon them. And then you have social costs--formals, cocktails, mixers with other fraternities/sororities... Its an expensive thing.
Old brothers/sisters will often give gifts if the house needs a renovation or some such occasion, but the real funds must come from the active brothers/sisters.
