We do this on my campus. On the 2nd day of recruitment (philanthropy day) every sorority hands out a pamphlet to each PNM detailing all of their financial obligations (the only item from recruitment that they're allowed to take with them). Panhellenic requires that every pamphlet include the same info including:
*NM fees
*Initiation and badge fees
*Dues (local and national)
*parlor fees
*house living/meal plan cost (and live-in requirements)
*whether socials, t shirts and favors are included in dues
*whether the chapter asseses fines (for missed events, etc) and how much
Sure, it can be daunting for a PNM to see all of these facts and figures, but it makes them more informed. They can actually sit down and consider whether sorority membership is something they can realistically afford. There's alot less "sticker shock" involved because she is already aware of the costs.
