Is there a way to find out what each sorority costs? Is the price difference minimal? Thanks for any help.

The concept of "Old Row" sororities is not a designated place at Bama (like where the new houses are), or a "status" that is purchased (unless something has changed in recent years).
The concept has been around for a very long time -- including the same sororities, for the most part, for decades -- and there were no "Old Row" charges or extra "Old Row" costs on the house bill then.
Historically (and currently) "Old Row" sororities might be considered strong-rushing chapters that are in-state strongholds. If shirts are sold or joint parties held, it is possible that these involve increased costs (but this could happen regardless of what chapters are involved).
I don't think the prospect of a new (or entirely renovated) house at Bama is avoidable at this point -- but wish we had more specific info on costs for you.
Good luck to you during recruitment!
