Maybe you could try contacting your school's Greek Life Office? They might be able to give you an idea.
MOST college panhellenics will provide PNM's with a pamphlet or hand out with a listing of financial obligations for all chapters that may or may not include a breakdown of first/initiation semester fees and things regular chapter dues cover: formals, letter shirts, letter jacket, letter bag, mixers, retreats, etc.

In addition, all chapters should have their financial information displayed during recruitment. My school in particular is required to have it posted at every party during the first three rounds and during the second round will even take out a couple of minutes to explain dues to PNM's. Dont hesitate to ask members about any concerns you have about what costs are. Some chapters may even offer payment plans to both new members and members.

Each chapter on each campus will vary in what their dues do and dont cover. Some chapters assess members for things not covered in dues and other chapters do not. You have a right to know this information BEFORE accepting a bid to join.
