Hey man, let me start by saying hope you rush! let me tell you about the cos of greek life for a PNM / Pledge. so most fraternity dues are going to be around 200-900 a semester. and that's a really big difference and what's different is what's included. the fraternities that will advertise 200 don't tell you that you will have to buy shirts, pay for date nights and other social events like formal, mountain weekends and whatever else that they make you pay for. that will run you about AT LEAST 500-600 more on top of the 200. now you aren't required to go to all those extra things but as a pledge, if you don't show interest and go and get your name out there. you won't make it even halfway to being a brother. but of course, they cant FORCE you to go and pay for this so they will blackball you on some dumb pretense they rebranded to handle it that way. the fraternities that are charging 600+ are the fraternities that are all-inclusive with dues or heavily subsidize depending on what chapter. you will get a free shirt, you won't have to pay for date nights or anything like that if you pick a fraternity with higher and higher dues because they are already budgeting accordingly. at most you would pay for a fraternity that charges 600-900 a semester for new members is 5$ for a sweatshirt instead of a shirt or if they decide they wanna upgrade an event to something nice and they need to generate just a little more cash. but regardless of the chapter I 100% guarantee, you will be paying AT LEAST $650+ no matter where you go. it's just about whose being upfront and whose not. if a fraternity says dues are 200 two weeks after you become a pledge they will come asking for more cash I guarantee it. frats don't run on pennies. This will cover fees for insurance, nationals, IFC, and pins. but that's it.
