I just meant that they can look up the information in order to get a ballpark figure of what the costs may be. Even if they get information that states that the costs are more than they may actually be at the chapter on their campus, at least they have an estimate to work from instead of being completely in the dark. Can't be anything wrong with having a lil more money saved up, it can go towards buying cute paraphrenalia or whatever you heart desires to do with it. And if the costs quoted on a website are a little less than what you'd have to pay, you'll know exactly how much more you'll need. I just think that having some kind of idea of how much it would cost you would help you rest a little easier.

One of the differences between NPC and NPHC groups is that a lot of women that join NPCs haven't had the exposure growing up to NPC orgs in the way that NPHC women may. So they don't come to college knowing what org they're going to join. Some do, but that's no where near guaranteed. The whole approach to membership selection and potential members choosing an org is very different.

Okay, this is where I'm confused. So do people who are interested in joining a NPC organization have no idea that they want to join an organization once they get to school? Do most of them decide once they get on campus that they do want to join, instead of having an idea of wanting to join before school starts?
I'm just wondering because if it were me, I'd have somewhat of an idea that Greek life may be what I want to be apart of. And while I'm on the website of my school doing research on my intended major or just browsing the different pages available, I'd check out the Student Life section and look up the GLO's, just so I can have an idea of the nature of Greek Life at my particular campus. And since what organization I'd be joining is not a 100% sure thing, I'd look up as much info on them all. If I'm in the type of situation where I have to set aside money in order to join, I'd like to make sure that I am making the most informed decision. Because I'm not just forking over cash, I'm paying with my time, my dedication, and my love for the organization itself and my new sisters.
Once again, I encourage any help with my understanding of GLO's, so if I've made a mistake in the conclusions I've come to, PLEASE let me know!
