I'm not an AKA, and DST chapters can't "assess" (which I hate because I too hate to fund raise) but when it comes right down to it, $600 is $50 a month. I know you weren't the person that made the comment about "exclusivity" but can we really consider sororities exclusive or the elite of our community when we are letting in folks that can't budget $50-100 a month??? When I attend collegiate Rushes I make sure I let the women know that it may cost you $600-700 to join, but plan on needing at least twice that to stay active, so if you have to go on a friends and family campaign to raise your initiation fees you should reconsider membership - join a club instead with $20/annual dues.
