I don't know why each chapter doesn't fully disclose their dues and what those dues cover (whether they are all inclusive or what they include/what is extra). Without disclosure of finances before recruitment, I am sure every chapter gets new members who end up dropping because they decide they can't afford it. That hurts the chapters too.

I'm suspicious that the OP has so blatantly instructed GCers to "either tell me what XYZ's dues are or don't post" and that she "would like her daughter to avoid the high ones". She has the high and low figures, so why does she need to know which is which unless she plans on telling her daughter not to pledge the high ones?
Maybe it's reverse and she really wants to know what the expensive ones so her daughter can strive for the more expensive = more elite houses

If that's the case....if you have to ask which are elite, you have probably already been cut.

?????
Usually it's the opposite - the "elite" houses have mega-numbers of members to spread out costs, while the smaller houses have fewer members with whom to share the burden.
