So what is it you are actually saying? Greek Life is too expensive? Then why are you here? It just ain't at Alabama...

Do I think its worth it? Yes.
Is it higher than most other Greek systems, especially considering only one year of living in is likely? Yes, often by a substantial margin, even compared to other housed SEC systems.
Do I think it probably prices some women out of the system at UA? Yes.
Does that matter? Yes, IMO. I think Greek life is wonderful and the costs of a system like UA's are what they are. But they basically require that you have parents that can look at an additional $5,000 or more a year on top of everything else, and go "Sure, honey, no problem." Dues that are half that are manageable for a woman to potentially pay on her own. At some price point, that becomes unrealistic and perhaps prices out good members who would benefit our organizations.
