Thanks!

That's only 2450-3000 per semester if you want to think of it that way. Does that cover your rent? Could you not get your parents to chip in to cover your rent at the sorority house and maybe you pick up the dues part?

The overall "deal" you get will include a lot -- food, room, entertainment. It's plenty of bang for your buck.

But be realistic about it. If you can't afford it, look for alternatives. When you go through rush, make a point of finding out exactly what everything costs.
