Having a house will definately increase the cost of the sorority.When I joined my chapter, my first semester the dues were high. I was paying for initiation fees, badge fees, a parlour fee (for house upkeep since I didn't live in the house), and for food. It was quite expensive.
A chapter with a house will pay more in dues than a chapter that has a dorm or a chapter that has neither a dorm or house.
Depending on when y'all pick the chapters you want to possibly merge with and when you hear their presentations, y'all could feasibly be ready to go for formal fall 08.
You would have to go through the nationals "pledge" (say that in quotation marks because I know not all the nationals call their new members pledges, but for lack of a better word) period which could be 8 weeks all the way to a semester. Then initiation then prepare y'all to rush for the new chapter.
