If you pledge a freshman, that person is bringing $4000 to the sorority before you have to "replace" them, while the sophomore is contributing $3000.

Only if she stays the whole 4 years and doesn't drop out. If you have a lot of people burning out before their junior or senior year and terminating, the "we can get 4 years worth of dues" out of her really isn't a valid argument.

The thing that has amazed me is the number of parents that pay for their daughter to live in the house and then rent an apartment for them. As a Mother why wouldn't you want your daughter to live in the house with a House Mother (no curfew) that allows no alcohol, smoking or boys in the rooms. I know some parents say they can't study, but there are quiet hours and study rooms better than the dorms.

Not everyone is suited to communal living. You shouldn't have to give up your chance to be part of a sorority because of it.
And if I was a parent...I would much rather my daughter live in a place without archaic rules where she can do what she wants to without sneaking out or driving drunk...but that is another thread.
