Dues vary greatly by school and sorority. For example, dues at one school may be $1200/semester at one school and $350 /semester at another.
There isn't any real "ballpark" figure. All anyone here can tell you is what costs were like at their particular chapter at their school.
I would suggest checking out the Greek Life websites of schools you're interested in. They may have financial info posted there.
Generally, your first semester or year in the sorority is the most expensive because of things like new member fees, initiation fees, badge cost, and new member manuals/materials.
Costs also vary based on whether a sorority has a house, whether you live in the sorority house, and whether you have a sorority meal plan. Other things that affect costs include whether things like socials, formal, or tee shirts are included and also whether the sorority assesses fines for things like missing mandatory events.
There are other things that impact cost, but these are just the things I can think of right now.
