I think the thing a lot of parents lose track of when wanting the best of everything for their kids is that sometimes you simply can't afford to give them everything you want to give them. Sororities are a luxury, not a necessity. Even the supposedly bargain priced ones (which may be less expensive only because the quoted fees don't include things like activities, events, formals etc.) come with hidden costs ... clothing for all kinds of events, road trips, football games, spring break etc. If anything above the "average" cost is a stretch for you, it sounds like your money may be better spent elsewhere and Greek Life at Bama isn't financially feasible without a great deal of sacrifice.
