Thank you for your response. I think $100 is reasonable, after all, it's initiation. I just don't want to see the kid have to choose between a $500 fine and 100th night at West Point. While my opinion (which matters 0) is that $100 is "significant," I believe $500 would be ridiculous.

I hope it's not $500, because then you'll have to write a stern letter.

I mean, if my comment was at all useful, I feel k_s's comment should have been at least 2x more useful than mine (especially due to the bold):

If 3 people respond and say their chapters charge $50, but her chapter says they charge $100, our answers won't matter. This is something that varies, so she'll just need to wait until Tuesday to get the final answer.

I am not sure I'd miss out on my initiation for a dance, though (and I'm from a military family, so I understand that WP is a big deal).

Wait, why can't she just take the regular penalty and miss the spring dance?

Because she's a dancing fool.

An old Alpha Gamma Delta--Gamma Upsilon, 1981.

If your chapter was jacked up and stupid enough to make you believe this drivel, that was your problem. Hopefully the young lady in question's chapter has a bit more of a clue.
