I think there's concern over a girl's being able to pay her dues. Especially now, when not all the ladies rushing are from Old South families, and Daddy doesn't pay every girl's way.

On my campus we ask a couple questions that at are designed to make the PNM think about if she can handle the financial responsibility -- but, we ask questions about if the PNM can handle the time, too.

If I'm rushing you and you mention that you have 3 jobs, 2 majors, on the basketball team, have and a boyfriend you spend all your time with.... I'll probably end up wondering if you can really spare the time.

Ditto if you tell me you're not working, Mom and Dad aren't supportive of GLOs, and you're involved in (insert high-cost activity here.) I'll probably wonder if you truly understand the financial obligation.

BUT -- in the end, it's your decision. If you're a sweet girl and you'd be a great asset to the sorority -- we'll put you on a payment plan, help you figure out a better time management plan, whatever it takes.
