My chapters dues for the year were $600. I want to say we were in the middle of the spectrum, but I could be off. And many people did drop because they couldnt afford the dues, even with us working out payment plans and trying to get help for them.

I guess what i meant was not clear. The author was just stating a number, what does that number mean? Someone could read that article and say, "oh my god, i can not afford that much so why even rush." But the reality is that the greek system at her school does not have chapters that charge that much. My statement was not meant to say that i just paid less. I meant that not all sororities have that exact amount in fees as the article was comming off as that is the amount that all sororities cost. The author was making gross generalizations about sororities that do not apply to everyone. I know that you have to pay your fees to become a member. My sorority you had to have everything paid other wise you could not be inititated. My problem is the authors gross generalizations and how women reading the article would take these gross generalizations.
Hope this clears up what i meant.
