The sorority cost/money/financial thread.

[HQWest]

Again, if you have to work to help pay for rent or tuition, maybe sorority life is just not for you? This is something to think long and hard about BEFORE recruitment. Especially if you are on a campus with big houses and higher dues.

There are lots of activities, and it is just no fun if you can never go to them if you have to study or go to work. There are fines if you miss recruitment or workshops or philanthropy events, too.

Some chapters are more friendly about excusing absences for work or for SGA or athletics and some are not. This is something to ask your friends in sororities about BEFORE recruitment.

Finally, if you have to drop because of money, you cannot come to events. You cannot wear letters. Anything you bought with the crest or letters on it, you are supposed to give it back to the chapter. (Although I suppose you could sell it on ebay.)

This. I loved my time in a sorority as an undergrad, but if you are struggling to pay tuition and keep a roof over your head, Greek Life should be your last priority.
