Slightly swerving, but wanted to ask: when is the appropriate time to ask about dues?

This is a campus issue. At some schools, if you ask you sound like you cannot pay. But at many, they anticipate that PNMs will ask and it's no big deal. This is definitely not true across the board.

This is definetly true, and they should tell you sometime during the open house rounds.

In general, all advice given on this site should be taken with a grain of salt because all schools/chapters/greek systems are unique and what is true for one may or may not be true for another. I can only speak to what I have expierenced at my school and at my school it is improper to ask about dues during recruitment.

Dues were also not mentioned during rush at my school.
Before registration started, Greek Life mailed us a book about rushing and it listed the range of dues and living expenses for sorority life. I am betting that A&M's website has something similar.

Well at my school, a sorority will put it out there for you at recruitment , but if that's not the case, I'd say while going over membership obligations.

Yea, that seems like it would make the most sense (letting the women know before they make a commitment).
