I agree with everything SoCalGirl said. There was one point in particular that kind of jumped out at me.
However, during formal rush, the Rho Chi is the first one you'll want to take these questions too.

Last year this subject came up and there were excellent points made on BOTH sides, to ask or NOT to ask an active about finances. Lets assume your friend goes all the way to the end of recruitment and is extended a bid. At the last moment, she drops.
Another girl, who had no fnancial reservations, would have LOVED
to be a member of XYZ, but due to quota, did not receive a bid.
That would be sad.

On the OTHER hand, some posters seemed to think if you made MONEY an issue to discuss or talked about needing to get a part time job, the active could take that information and present it during discussion. It COULD make a difference if there are 20 other great PNMs being discussed that had NO financial question marks connected to them. Am I making sense?

Back to SoCalGirl-Everyone should have access to that information and be able to make a thoughtful decision.
