The fees pay for T-shirts, snacks, maybe meals, and maybe room and board during recruitment week. The late fee is there to motivate PNMs to sign up early, though a $50 late fee seems a little steep... what's the standard registration fee?
Of course, if you're a PNM balking at the idea of paying $10 or $50 or whatever to participate in recruitment... wait until you pledge and get your first bill.

Exactly. If the PNM is rushing for a second time (or third, or maybe even a fourth time (especially in southern schools)), and she knows that she's not going to get a bid, and she's complaining about the rush fees, then she should not waste her time and money, because there's a good chance that she'll be dropped. She should try informal recruitment or forget about joining the sororities.
