Mine weren't anywhere near $1000 because we didn't have a house and those chapters that don't have houses will be much cheaper.

On the flip side, at other schools, like SEC schools, they can be WAAAAY
above what AlwaysSAI quoted, and there can be a big range among chapters at the same school.
SophieA, we have no idea where you are thinking of attending school, so no one can really give you dollar amounts. Ask the daughter of your family friend about the finances, but remember, that is what
her sorority at
her school charges
right now.
Knowing these 3 amounts should help you plan and see if you think you can afford it:
1. Cost during your new member semester(dues + parlor fee + national fees + badge)
2. Cost for a member to live in the house (dues + room and board)
3. Cost for a member to live out of house (dues + parlor fee)
*Keep in mind, some chapters' dues will be all inclusive (flat fee, nothing else asked), some will be semi-inclusive, and some will only cover the basics, meaning that socials, t-shitrts, etc are NOT included. Also, I haven't heard of a chapter anywhere that doesn't allow members to pay on a payment plan, but I could be wrong.

I wonder why you thought it wasn't appropriate to ask financial questions. It's
definitely an appropriate question to ask during recruitment, so when your time comes, don't be shy.
