Then there are extras such as favors for formal, formal tee shirts, etc.
I suggest that any girl going through recruitment SERIOUSY CONSIDER whether they can afford to join BEFORE RECRIUTMENT.

I agree 100% on this one. You need to consider all aspects of sorority life before rushing because it is tacky to ask about dues during the recruitment process.
I don't know about anyone else but my semester dues are pretty steep, plus I spend about $300+ a semster on extra things, like new function costumes/dresses, philantrophy, big/lil gifts, things for greek week, homecoming, fraternity events, ect. and that's just for sorority/greek life stuff.
It's a huge financial commitment. It's definetly worth it but be sure you know what you're getting yourself into.
However, every school is different. Some chapters are less expensive, some are more. Some do lots of functions/events, some only do a few.
I'm not trying to stop you from going through recruitment, I'm just being honest.
I suggest researching on your schools greek life page, that's usually the best place to start.
