So if they are paying for a meal plan at the house, do they get their money back from the university for that meal plan? Or are they buying two meal plans? Just curious. Because that makes a big difference. That seems less than what you pay for a dorm meal plan (at Hypo's school anyway). And, you wouldn't really count that as "sorority fees" if you have to pay it to *someone* either way. If you're paying it twice, that's a different story.
If you don't count the meal plan, got a cheaper badge (you could always upgrade it as a graduation gift or something), and reduced your shirts and photos, you could get by paying considerably less.
