The fact you would say that about Alabamians shows you are the one without class.

Top tier Fraternity/Sorority members from Alabama if they went though rush at USC would have been laughed at even at lower tier frats/strats

Our cook at Sigma Chi USC was a graduate of Alabama and President of Phi Mu sorority.

Look it up AOPi; Delta Zeta and shocking Sigma Kappa for having no house are by far the most expensive

Not sue the specifics but do believe the "White House"
Penalty makes Phi Mubthe pat expensive
The only white building on campus was supposed to be the presidents house.
Phi Mu, for whatever reason deicided that was not an acceptable policy.
Have heard the penalty is $30k per semester. Dies cover it, whatever it is. And not cheap.

It's cheaper to pay the school fine then it is to pay the fine to Phi Mu. Phi Mu requires there houses to be white.

No they don’t, there are pink and brown Phi Mu houses. Phi Mu doesn’t have a rule on house colors, they just wanted to carry the aesthetic on.

There is no white house penalty, the University built the house. They approve every nail, tile and color of paint that is used. The University would not fine a sorority for a house they built. A bunch of Phi Mu's did sneak over to house in the middle of the night and paint it white, it was painters hired by the university that painted it white.

Having the most expensive dues isn't necessarily a good thing. While the new houses are stunning, higher dues means taking more members to help lower debt quickly, which could translate to being less selective during recruitment. In the grand scheme of things, everyone's dues are going to be more expensive than before; on average around $4300 a semester

Actually last year’s panhellenic reports proved that alpha chi and phi mu have the highest retention of any other sorority. Meaning the least number of girls who left or dropped overall.

I think it's super important to many PNM's. My situation was different than most but I'm still a price conscious girl and I don't like to waste my parents money.

I think a more reasonable policy would be to have ACCURATE dues information in Greek Chic. Who the hell wants to make it to Philanthropy round, fall in love with certain houses, then find out that at least one of them has dues a couple thousand $$ more than Greek Chic claims?
Why not give the info before Recruitment, so people who genuinely can't afford it don't give it a shot, only to have to drop later?

No need to get nasty on this post. For lots of people, the difference between paying extra can matter. Phi mus house isn't the point, it's just a general question about difference in dues. A good question too. Maybe actives could just put their out of house dues for us pnms instead of trying to be nasty to each other
by: Hard to say...
Not sure if newer house would be reasonable argument for higher total costs as also have to consider alumna contributions. I heard rumor that Theta alumna had already contributed a significant amount toward overall cost.

OR isn’t subsidized by Budweiser. They are subsidized by strong alumnas. Most OR houses are cheaper to live in because a hefty part ( if not all) of the mortgage was paid off to the University, thanks to them. Downside is those same alumnas have a say in who gets in. They pay to play.

Every sorority home has been rebuilt, or built new for the new groups, during the past 10-12 years. It stands to reason every group has had dues and fees climb during this same time frame. Even when the decision was made 15 years ago for every home to be rebuilt chapter by chapter in a specific and logical order, those homes with later rebuilds took dues to new levels to refresh their homes to keep-up appearances with the brand new homes. Technically these later-building houses probably were costing more all along since they had to raise dues two times over 12 years: first for the 'refresh' and later for the 'rebuild'.
