How on earth a simple inquiry about potential prices turned into this is unfathomable to me. If I made comments about my personal situation, it was for clarification in response to someone else's comments. I said that we had set aside money because people suggested payment plans and such, not because I am a snob. I referred to the economic crisis because some thought we did not prepare or investigate in advance. Most of my remarks after my initial inquiry were in an effort to explain why I was asking about costs. I really was not seeking out opinions about whether or not my daughter should rush, what personal financial choices my family should make, etc., but thanks for the input. I really just wanted to know if anyone here knew about which ones fell into the upper range. I was also wondering if anyone knew why the discrepancies in the prices found online at Bama's websites. I think it's time for me to bow out of this converstaion before it gets out of hand. I mean, really, "I think most people are aware of the economic crisis you don't need to tell us about it."?That is so rude. Yes, most people are aware of the crisis, but no one here has any idea how it has affected me and my family without my informing them of it. Honestly, is all the negativity helping anything at all? Why not just say that you have no idea what the highest cost sororities at Bama are, or say nothing at all???

At least I do not have listed under my hobbies" Making fun of trashy, pretentious people", as Munchkin03 does. For heaven's sake. Yes I am "nameless and faceless" but so are you, Munchkin. I felt anonymnity was in order since it is the middle of the recruitment process, and it is obvious some people on here are involved in that process.

I hold no ill will, but respectfully ask that you please refrain from the rudeness. Isn't that one of the first rules in a sorority - to treat people with respect???
