It all depends on the school. A lot of schools print out a sheet with the expected financial commitments for all sororities that every rushee gets -- I know mine did. At some schools it's considered tacky to ask about dues, but at most it's probably not going to be an issue. Usually the best plan is, if you're going through formal rush, to ask your Rho Chi or someone in Panhellenic. If you're not going through formal it's probably all right to ask somebody in the sorority that you're rushing -- I'm sure that they're used to answering the question and most of them won't find it tacky.

Dues differ a lot from campus to campus as well. At some schools with very competitive Greek systems, huge houses and tons of elaborate social events, dues can run as high as a couple thousand dollars per semester; at campuses without houses they can be under a hundred a semester.
