VTMom - make sure to have your daughter ask about FINING...many chapters that fine aren't up front and honest with their costs - if she misses an event, she might be forced to pay as a "punishment." It's sad, because I've known alot of new members who have quit their sorority, due to not being properly informed of how much money it was actually going to cost (and this is the sorority's fault for not being honest about it). I was Financial VP for two years, and the way I see it, the numbers they give you should be
all inclusive, with the exceptions of extras that you have a choice to, or not to participate in, such as, if you want to buy a shirt from a mixer you attended. Sadly, many sororities do not share this same way of thinking.
