Our Panhellenic started something new with Fall 2005 Formal Recruitment. Each chapter submitted a detailed accounting of the financial obligations for new members. Not just numbers, but descriptions of what you actually get for your money. Additionally, chapters were expected to list what ADDITIONAL costs might be incurred. For example, my chapter was the highest by about $30, but we do not charge members for any social events. Other chapters had to list that they charge for informal, formal, etc.
We laid out the brochure very nice and professional, yet with fonts and designs matching the other Panhellenic recruitment handouts. We had fun quotes like "If being Greek means buying my friends, then it’s the BEST investment I ever made!!"
At least in the chapter I advise, and reportedly in the others as well, there were MANY MANY fewer financial issues amongst the new member classes. Everyone was well informed, and no one depledged for financial reasons.
