You need to talk to your Greek Life advisor.

It varies by campus/chapter/active member makeup.

Talk to your greek life advisor or members of the chapters in real life.

Exactly. Some organizations charge very little/no dues while some organizations/chapters have very high dues. Knowing what the average costs are for all GLOs in the US is useless, as that number may not be accurate at your school.

As I stated earlier, this is a question for your Greek Life advisor.

i think that most sororities have national costs that are pretty much the same from chapter to chapter within that particular sorority such as initiation, new member fee, fee for the standard badge, etc. where they would vary would be fees that would be common only to that chapters situation, i.e., if the chapter has a house, if they serve meals in the house. another variance could be whether the chapter includes charges for parties, t-shirts, sisterhoods, etc. in their dues or if members are charged for each individual event. so us telling you what our dues were/are(and many of us are alums. so we might not remember, or they may have changed) would not help you.

while you wait for the a & m panhellenic office to get back with you, you could go to the national website of each sorority that has a chapter at a & m. they may give you a ball park idea of the national dues.

You didn't even allow for more than 2 hours to pass before you came back here to ask the same question that we really can't answer.

Just be patient.
