What I mean is, Panhellenic distributes a lists of all the financial obligations associated with each chapter. So when you come through the door, a sister already knows that you know what it costs. So why would a sister bring up the money issue. If the money is no prob, then no point of discussing it. If it's a prob and the rushee is concerned, the sister may make the rushee uncomfortable.
That said, I don't see a problem with the
rushee bringing up finacial concerns. However, during formal rush, the Rho Chi is the first one you'll want to take these questions too.
I've yet to hear of a chapter that does not have payment plans. So just realize that there are probably few sisters in the chapter that lay out all the money at once.
And the pledge period is the most expensive. You'll have lots of one time fees during that time.
Also keep in mind that chapters with houses, like SDSU, will cost more due to the expenses of maintaining the house. However, living in a sorority house is usually cheaper than living in a dorm or off campus.
