Also, the fraternities here are only about 600-900 per semester, its the sororities that are expensive.

I do know what "bows and toes" and "elephant walk (lol)" are, thus my assurance to you that clever "bonding" experiences like those are not new and in fact my male family members pledged in the "good old days" when hazing was de rigeur and much more of it was even above ground (the underground stuff was what you really had to fear -- they'd think what you guys call "bonding" these days is a cake walk).
And I'm cross-quoting you two again, this time in reverse. The assurance that they have access to connections and wealth was in response to the standards laid out below. Their fraternities, chapters and the school they attended are also WAY steeped in tradition.

Fraternity life is so much more than just brotherhood.
It's regional tradition, rites of passage, a status symbol, a method of gaining wealth through connections and so on.

So, looks like they check off all the boxes, would they be cool with you, then?
