One other thing to think about is not only the cost of the dues, but the cost of attending events and fitting into Greek Life. This can amount of hundreds if not thousands more if you're taking into account buying clothes for TGs and date parties and fall/spring break trips and nice dinners you'll want to participate in with girls in your chapter. Of course it varies heavily from individual to individual, but participating in Greek Life is not cheap at all, even after the dues. Talk to your parents and older girls who have participated in Greek Life and see how they can help. Payment plans are available in many chapters, but it still can be a heavy burden on someone struggling with the payment in any fashion. Like @hi said, there are many alternatives to greek life that are much cheaper, like major specific fraternities or club sports, and you can always still go to block or fraternity date parties.
