I can understand how the costs would be a concern. However, this question has been answered and people have even shared their own personal circumstances. Littleowl's situation is a great example of how our older children can respond in an adult manner to changing circumstances. (Littleowl- your parents have raised a smart girl!)

The poster from Bama who posted the price of approx. $3500.00 sounds quite realistic. This is what we paid (for living in the house) at a major university in neighboring Florida.

I can understand how you would be apprehensive about calling the Greek Life office and asking in the middle of rush. However, in this economy I don't think you would be the only one.

For heaven's sake, why? I don't think they're going to notify the sororities that Zsa Zsa's mom called about costs and they're going to freak out and cut her. I'm sure that the fwap fwap is in the air and this would be one of the LESS annoying calls they would get.

I'm not even sure if all orgs are required to report their specific costs to Panhellenic. So I doubt they'll have any more accurate info than is available on the website.

On the University of Alabama campus there is one accounting firm that handles almost all of the sororities and fraternities, Greek Resources. The OP or any other interested party should call them. While I doubt they will give out GLO names, they will be able to provide far more accurate info about costs than probably any of us. Their contact info is even listed on the UA Greek Life website "Parent's Guide".
