I go to the same school as nauadpi and my sorority doesn't participate in formal NPC rush, so we don't charge at all. I have seen flyers around NAU within the past year that have formal rush costing a woman $50 dollars to rush an NPC group, to me that is alot and as some of you have posted that's alot for female that may/maynot recieve a bid. Considering that it is a NON-REFUNDABLE fee. I also don't know of any discount given to returning students that rush an NPC, and I know several returning students that have rushed during formal rush. Up until I believe 2000 formal rush had been FREE.
Oh one more thing! SInce my sorority is only an associate member of the NPC here on campus we do information night with them and if a girl wants to rush us she has to tell her PX that she is rushing XYZ and drop....bye, bye, bye $50.00.

I do want to comment on some of this... For the past two years to try to increase the number of upper classmen going through recruitment we have sent out to ever on campus women at least a flyer offering a discount on recruitment. I personally always found this funny cause for some reason I kept getting them even though I was already of greek afiliation (we supposedly were not sending them to women who were)... As for costs up to $50 I hope it has not increased that much for this year. Last year the highest cost was $20 for people registering late... I really think it would hurt greek life at NAU to see the costs so high... As for the fact of women paying the fee and dropping out because of interest in your sorority or our other non-NPC group that is there choice. They app itself lists the sororities which are part of formal recruitment and all the info sessions during the summer at previews (NAU's version of orientation) allow the sororities to say this. Also, I don't want to argue on these topics, but at NAU women who go through formal recruitment as long as they make it to the last night and don't try to suicide will receive a bid from one of the sororities. As a result here we have more problems with women dropping out of recruitment before preference night and therefore not receiving a bid, then women not receiving a bid by staying with the process.
And in general on the NAU campus I find much of formal recruitment to have issues since the campus is so anti-greek. But it happens when and the way that it does. As long as the fees are now not reaching $50 I think the fees that are being charged make sense and go to reasonable costs.
