dues

Some sororities offer scholarships and can help

During recruitment the sororities will give you specific information about dues, initiating fees, badge costs, and anything else.

Some are more expensive than others. Some also offer payment plans to make it more affordable. Contrary to belief, not all sorority girls are rich. A lot of us have jobs and pay our own dues. Dues cover a lot of costs like social events, activities, programs and workshops, philanthropic events, so you get a lot for your membership.

I think you should do whatever is necessary to make it financially feasible. What you get out of it is so much more than what you pay, no matter how you look at it.

You can't put a price on friends/networking/campus involvement/social life.

Let's assume dues are 500 a semester (total assumption). That's $4,000 over the course of your college experience (generally).

Let's say one of your sisters in your sorority ultimately helps you get a job you otherwise wouldn't have gotten after graduation. That alone is worth the money invested, and that's literally the tip of the iceberg in terms of benefits and quality of life.

Just my two cents.

How much does it cost to live in a sorority house? Is that part of dues? Do you have to live there if you don't want to?
