If there were sorority houses at Auburn, wouldn't chapter/house/parlor fees be somewhere around $4000 per semester? Plus meals would be in the house rather than on campus (making assumption that the university would transfer the meal / dining fees to the sorority). I'm just wondering how many parents would be willing to foot the bill for four years - $32,000 vs the $9000 or so that is costs now? I'm also wondering about how to pay for the construction itself? I'm guessing those mansions cost somewhere between $3 million and $8 million, depending on size? Who exactly pays for that? Nationals don't foot the entire bill. So is local alumnae support required? Asking because I really don't know and I am curious about how 18 houses would be financed. And if the financial impact would reduce the number of women in sororities. Which would then increase the cost to the individual member. (Accounting person here! :). )
