And to be honest, the ones who WEREN'T doing spring recruitment aren't typically going to be chapters who would take a chance on an upperclassman. They also aren't going to be much different price-wise than those she saw in spring...

My school is one where it is often less expensive to go Greek than live on campus. The comparison of a shared room in a residence hall will run 4,019-4650, before meal plan, which runs about $1500 a semester. That's about $6,000 a year, which is the average cost of joining a sorority, and the fraternity average is $5,200. The fraternity and sorority costs go beyond food and a room, but dues and other events, so it really is a great deal. I can imagine this fall we'll have more people going Greek as living on campus for freshman is required, and Greek houses count.
