Is it even worth it and is it too late to register

by:    

I was about to submit my registration for sorority recruitment the first week of June, but then I looked over costs again and I’ve been so conflicted about it ever since. Even just registration and move in alone were going to be like $500. I’m able to afford dues but joining would mean devoting pretty much all of my spending money toward the sorority. Anyways, I guess my question is whether Greek life is worth the cost? How much would you say you spend on top of dues?

And tbh, does registering at this point look bad since it closes in two days? I’ve got a really good resume and application, but I’m far OOR and only have refs for 8 of the houses

Still register!! Nobody cares when you sign up. Better to give it a try than to always wonder what could’ve been.

I would only register if you know you can afford to be Greek and plan on staying in the house you accept a bid from. No house is interested in a PNM that will go through recruitment, accept a bid, and then drop before Initiation or at the end of the semester when you realize you can't really afford it.

If you can afford it, it doesn't matter when you register. Nobody knows. You will be late on getting letters of recommendation now but if you already have 8, great!

I think as OOR, you are going to have a difficult time getting a bid from the top OR houses that have connections to a lot of PNMS already. However, if your GPA is high, you will have a good chance at the other houses. All houses are good here so don't stress about it.

I will also say that what you spend above the fees is up to you. Many girls spend money on sorority merch, swap outfits, etc. but that is up to you and your budget. I spent a lot during my freshman year because I didn't have any theme stuff and needed Nola dresses. I spent much less sophomore year. People in my house borrow dresses, etc. too.

I would register and go through rush and determine that way if it’s worth the money. Even if you decide it’s not, you’ll have met a lot of new people so that’s a great way to start your freshman year.

Look into Alpha Omega Epsilon! It’s not panhellenic, so it’s a diff recruitment process
