Dues?

[aephi alum]

The sororities at my school made little half-sheets available during formal recruitment. These half-sheets detailed semester dues, initiation/badge fees, parlor fees, and rent for the chapters that had houses.

If nothing else, you should be able to get ballpark figures from the Greek Life office or your recruitment counselor.

Your new-member semester will be the most expensive (leaving out room and board if you live in the chapter's house). You will have to pay initiation fees and buy a badge. You will also be tempted to buy a bunch of lettered items - you can find any number of lettered t-shirts, sweatshirts, keychains, car stickers, tote bags, glasses, etc.

Also, if you live in-house, yes, you will have to pay for room and board, but you have to pay for that anyway, whether you live in-house, in a dorm, or in an off-campus apartment. Living in-house may work out to be less expensive than living in a dorm.

Yeah, that's what my dad told me. He said it's approximately the same in a dorm or in the house, maybe less, maybe more. He also said that room and board at the house could be covered by a loan, just like for a dorm, so that would be helpful.
