Mine tend to run about $275 per semester. This is all inclusive - all t-shirts, recruitment stuff, socials, formals, date parties, parlor fees, etc.

Membership dues for the chapter I advise for also runs in the neighborhood of $300 per semester for active members. Housing (sorority dorm) and meals (at student union) are billed separately through the university and any extras (t-shirts, favors, fines, etc.) are billed in addition to these regular semester dues. The bill is sent to the member for payment so whatever arrangement they work out with their parents is their own business.
