Aren't fraternity dues in general a lot lower than sorority dues?
Also while there are many other advantages to going Greek, I imagine the social benefits for guys on campus is much more elevated by being in a fraternity. And so would be seen as a worthwhile investment.
For example there is the (cynical, close-minded) scenario at SC that if you are not in a Fraternity; there is no where for a guy to go on a Thursday night. Whereas "girls always get in to parties"
