i'm actually starting to have second (or possibly third...) thoughts about going through recruitment. i went over to greek affairs yesterday to get a copy of 'greek tiger', the booklet they put out each year for PNMs. in it i saw a chart with financial information listed for each chapter - yikes! i knew it was going to be about this much, but seeing it is different. i mean, the prices for a new member's first semester appear to range from $1000-1400, and that's *without* meals. that's a huge commitment for me to make if i'm going to be paying for it on my own (as my parents aren't huge proponents for greekdom). if i have the money, i won't mind paying it - but i would feel so stupid if it came time to pay and i didn't have quite enough! i work and i'm trying to save, and hopefully that will work out. i think i am mostly bummed because one of my favorite chapters' dues (even though i really am keeping an open mind!) are on the highest end. *sigh*. money schmoney. it would just be unfortunate if i go through recruitment, which is going to take a lot out of me time-wise and emotionally, and then not be able to afford the place i love. i guess i better start working more?
