cost of being in a sorority

Multiple thousand dollars a semester

It really depends on if you want to live in or out as well live out fees and new member fees can range from 900 too 3000 a semester. Don't let the fees get to you

You should drop out now. You are too on the edge of being able to afford any of them if you are seriously asking this question. You can't approach this like you are shopping for a deal. It's ok to be GDI.

It is expensive and there are costs. Hopefully either your parents or you can pay for it

Also take into consideration having to buy sorority t shirts and gear, craft supplies and presents for big/little stuff and having money saved in case you get fined. I was in a house that would make you buy the shirts and other stuff like that, make you buy stuff to make presents for big/little/sisterhood stuff. You would get fined if you didn't buy that stuff so you would have to spend money either way. You also would get fined 25-100$ per event or meeting that you missed (depending on the event) if you didn't have an excuse that they accepted. Sometimes there would be 4 events in a weekend so if you missed them all then that would be $400. It adds up quickly. You could also get fined for not getting enough community service hours or not getting good enough grades. It was ridiculous. If you don't pay it then you get sent to collections which ruins your credit history

Perfectly fair and sensible question, utterly ridiculous, entitled answers. Cleary not a single Econ major in Panhellenic here since the two interests are mutually exclusive.

I had to drop mine because I didn't have any financial help from my family or anyone else. Like I could have scraped by if I only had to pay dues but you forget that there's all these other things that you want/need to buy too. My sorority never made us pay for shirts but, I'd always feel left out when I didn't buy one. Also after I dropped I was glad that I didn't buy too many because I had to get rid of them anyways.
