Wow - $125!!! But I can see why they'd need to charge that if so many women were going through and they had things like buses and tents. I think when I went through I paid $30 and that was mostly for the supplies our rho chi's had for us in their bags (breath mints, hand sanitizer, kleenex, hair spray, etc.) and for refreshments since the individual groups weren't supposed to provide much (they had limitations and no one could leave the room with anything as it might have been construed as a gift) and just for administration fees for all the paperwork, etc. We didn't get shirts but got bid day shirts once we got into our chapters.

This year, KSU's registration fee was $30 (there isn't an extra fee for late registration). That fee covers the cost of bus transportation to the sorority houses for House Tours & Pref rounds. It also covers the supplies or snacks that Rho Chi's bought for their groups. I think each of the girls gets a little Go Greek water bottle or something.

Ours is also non refundable, so you don't get it back if you drop out or are released.

USF charges $65 to register..but if a PNM registers after Aug.1, the fee goes up to $75. They get a t-shirt, a water bottle, a bag, a pen and a notebook. Also, lunch from nice places everyday.

They also get goodies from their Pi Chi's but Im not sure if the Pi Chi's pay for that stuff out of pocket or if they have a budget from PanHel

My university did charge a fee for rushing. Now, that was 14 years ago, so I don't remember the exact dollar amount, not that it would matter anyway! All rushees (I'm using that word because it was the appropriate terminology of the time) were required to stay in one of the dorms used by Panhellenic for the week. Rush occurred a week prior to the beginning of school. We were not fed, but we had to pay for the use of the room for a week.
