I'm not saying you are going to attend CSUS, but here's what our Panhellenic website says:
"How much does it cost to be a member of a social fraternity or sorority?
Given the benefits provided, Greek membership is a bargain. However, students should consider the costs in planning their personal budgets. Chapter dues can range between $100 and $400 a semester. Every organization has their own budget and believe that members should not be excluded for financial reasons. First, you should ask each sorority about costs and then work with the organization to work our a payment plan. In most cases, the sorority can hold a fundraiser or help you find a job to help alleviate these costs. Bottom line- money should not be an issue in your decision to join."
I'm in a local, but our new member dues are a little over $200. Basically it pays for shirts, some of the gifts, pins, budgets for events, etc. Members pay around $150. HOWEVER, we can pay an arm and a leg for formal, which isn't covered in dues. But formal is optional so whether you pay that is up to you. Other misc. fees include t-shirts not already covered by dues, IM sport fees (I don't know if there are any, but just in case), costumes/outfits for recruitment/Greek Week/Skits/etc... and so on.
