Students commonly wind their honors program cord and their major or minor cord together to create one multicolored cord. Other honor programs may require graduates to wear special cords. For example, graduates who are also members of Lambda Pi Eta, a nationally recognized honor society for communication majors, may also wear crimson colored cords on graduation day. A female graduate wears a crimson sash and tassle.
PMI fees vary from around 0.3 percent to about 1.5 percent of the original loan amount per year, depending on the size of the down payment and the borrowerâs credit score. It remains to be seen whether PMI premiums will continue to be tax-deductible. The PMI deduction expired in 2016, and the federal tax code is in flux as the Trump administration tries to overhaul it. Why wait to buy the house you want? Mortgage rates are low, so compare loans today.
If you're a PMI Member then you pay $435 for the CBT and $385 for the PBT, if you're not a PMI member then you pay $495 for the CBT and $445 for the PBT (these are 2012 rates and are valid on the date this answer was posted). So yes, as a PMI member, you're eligible for a discount (but not a huge discount though).
