Yes, although I think a range (sorority dues range from $200 to $800 per semester) rather than an average (sorority dues average $500 a semester) is preferable. Too many people see the latter and think "oh, they all cost $500" and freak out when that isn't the case. Of course that isn't what we all learned in grade school math about averages but many of us were sleeping through that unit, I think.
