Wow, I never even heard of having to pay or register for recruitment. At my school, recruitment starts in the 2nd or 3rd week of school and anyone who wants to can attend without signing up. The only rule is that freshman can't go through rush in their first semester. Because of it, first semester recruitment is really small and usually roughly 10 girls turn out. You have to come to at least 2 of the 3 nights of rush to get a bid and it's school policy that every rushee gets a bid and they divide the number of rushees by 4 (the number of sororities) to see how many bids they can give out. For example, when I rushed, there were 36 of us rushing so that meant that each sorority gave out 9 bids. You can't COB so you have to go through rush, but if you don't get your first choice bid, you can decline your bid and open bid your first choice. When you go through rush you're given a small pamphlet about the sororities on campus each sorority gets one sheet of paper to print whatever they want. Student activities just runs off a bunch of copies of it and that doesn't really cost much. My school is really not big on Greek Life so I don't think that many people would even come to rush if they charged for recruitment.
