I'm reading about how much some of you have to pay in dues, and YOWZA!!
I think I got off light...!
In my local sorority, dues were $60 and initiation fee was $100 (which included the cost of our badge and pledge ring).
The semester we all pledged AEPhi, we raised our local dues to $100, plus we had national dues, badge fee, initiation fee, and a few other odds and ends. I think I paid around $400. After that, our semester dues were around $200. But we did have to pay for some extras, like formal/semiformal and T-shirts.
We didn't have a house or chapter room (Panhel had a room on campus that the unhoused sororities used as a sort of shared chapter room).
