At my school the rush booklet has a page w/ all the $$$ info. So before the first party they'll know what's what. They can ask the rho chis if they have any questions. But if a girl has questions she should definitly ask members. My chapter always does informal so we were use to talking about finances. (No booklets for those rushees, so they'll generally just ask us.)
I think there are some better ways to ask about it though. If you have a job, ask the members if many of them have jobs too. Ask them if they find that their schedules are compatible w/ sorority life. Personally, when I worked mainly weekends, I was always taking days off to attend sorority events. (Mainly non mandatory.) When I got an on campus job I never had conflicts.
If the member seems to get uncomfortable about finance questions, or she just seems poorly informed, ask if you'll be able to speak to the treasurer. Hopefully you'll be able to asap.
No matter what the subject, if a member seems uncomfortable answering, or is trying to change the subject; then just drop it. I had one rushee that asked how many events we're allowed to miss. I gave her a vague answer and tried to quickly change the subject to sisterhoods. But she kept harping on how much she can miss! I couldn't wait till I could get away from her. ***If she had asked if we were required to attend many events, I would have been cool w/ it. But she came off like she wanted to know how little she could get away w/ attending.*** So just be careful to phrase questions positively!
