This has been done at Carolina for many years. A sister will come up and grab you, seat you in the dining/chapter room, chat while everyone else files in, then she says "I'll be back after the skit." Then you watch a skit that has nothing to do with financial info. Usually just songs with some overall theme. Then the sister comes back, talks for a minute, then says "I wanted to go over our financial obligations with you" or something like that. It is a little awkward and contrived, but all the houses do want you to have this info early on. I think it's online at greeks.unc.edu, but they go over it anyway and ask if you have questions. Sometimes they tell you about the chapter's financial plan, if you want to pay in installments instead of at the beginning of the term. Then you move on to other topics. It is worth looking at the financials online, because I think there is about a $1000 difference between the most expensive and least expensive houses (or at least there used to be).
