A thing we must tell them if they are genuinely interested in joining. I acutally know that there are other houses on my campus that abide by the same rules. Wierd. Maybe it's just us wacko canadians?!?

I suppose the reason that for some talking about cost is a big no-no, is to prevent people from making desisions based on price, and the nice myth that a fraternal organization you "buy" friends. You put a price tag out, and few will see where the funds go, but rather how much is coming out of their pocket. Somewhat of the same reason people don't discuss raises in public.
My sisterhood doesn't have an issue with discussing cost. We are typically told to be up front with commitments to the sisterhood in so much as time and finance.
Oh and i suspect the reason that finances is restricted to only one person, is to ensure that consistant answers are given interested parties.
