I agree. Every sorority on my campus gives out financial pamphlets with cost info (including housing costs) in them during rush. It annoys me when girls depledge and say "it's too expensive" when they SAW THE FREAKING SHEET and they had EVERY opportunity in the world to ask questions.

I think it has alot to do with girls being excited to join and THINKING they can afford it. They don't truly take a minute to think about their budget and what they can actually afford. Then they actually start paying for things and realize that they bit off more than they could chew financially.

My advice to PNMs is to really be honest with yourself and think about what you can afford before you decide to join. You'll save yourself alot of disappointment that you'll experience if you end up having to depledge.
