I think it's very healthy to have this discussion. Unfortunately, she may not have the leeway to choose against one of the more expensive chapters. And I don't think there's a problem with her ranking with cost as a factor. Unfortunately, her ranks and her results won't necessarily match.

If she's having a good rush and she does have a certain level of control about her invitations, then great; she can use that as a factor. The problem is going to happen if she gets through to the end and your worst case scenario is what she gets.

But I really wouldn't let cost ruin the day. Sororities these days do offer payment plans so although the costs don't go away, they do get spread out. And let's not forget that sororities offer lots of scholarships. I think there are financial alternatives to you, so no need to panic just yet.
