costs of sororities at university of alabama

[AuburnMom08]

Yes its true you'll have a lot of first semester fees and things you have to buy that you won't ever have to again.

Why don't the girls communicate the costs ahead of time? Well....they're 19 and 20 years old

lol exactly. I was just sitting here trying to think if my daughter even knew how much her dues were. I don't think she did. All she knows is what they specifically tell her and then I get a call or a text "Mom, I need to order a pin, it's about $100, can you put some extra money in my account?" and "Mom, I need some money in my account for a new member fee/little sister/fine I got for being late/etc".

My daughter got a speeding ticket at 6:00 one morning last week for trying to hurry and beat the "$50 fine per 5 minutes late" fine. Her sorority didn't fine her but the Auburn police dept did. She's been very jealous of the girls who live on the hall during all this - no hurrying around to be on time and no looking for a parking place and then walking a mile to the village!

One thing to consider is if the sorority assesses. The initial dues might look low, but then you will have to "pay as you go" for things. Kappa Kappa Gamma doesn't assess, so what is quoted is all that is required. This figure doesn't include T-shirts, pictures, or any other extras.

What if your daughter gets a bid to the house of her dreams and its the most expensive of all the sororities? Do you tell her she can't because of budgeting?
