I think that in our comments to the OP, some of us maybe be letting our frustrations show with all the folks that signed up for greek life, pledge and maybe got initiated, and then dropped out because of completely foreseeable costs and who we suspected/knew just preferred to spend the money differently after they got a little bored.

However, in this case, we have someone who is trying to figure out in advance if she can honor the commitment that the group expects but she can't figure out exactly what it is.

I do understand the OP's concern, and frankly, I'm surprised that the groups don't all have this published someplace. There would still be some problems because of the difference is what people count as "dues" that might not really be set, with the zaps and t-shirt stuff being one and the meals you'd have to pay for elsewhere if you didn't eat at the house being some of those things. But you could give people ball park costs.

On the other hand, folks in the thread are completely correct, jll, that even if you get the info that there not much you can do with other than maybe not accept a final bid, unless your daughter is one of the very fortunate ones who gets invited to all of the chapters.
