sororities

For fall recruitment, they give the PNMs booklets that explain dues and grades. It's the same for winter. In Fall 2013, Pi Phi had the highest dues ($800+) but they justified it as "all inclusive" meaning they factored in everything. This year SK had the highest ($860) but none of the chapters have all inclusive and I don't know why...new Panhellenic rules? God knows why SK's fees jumped so high because I don't even know what they do. Tridelt ($829), Alpha Phi ($780), GPhi (680), Pi Phi ($603.34, so specific wtf), Theta ($515). Your fees are cut in half when you're initiated though

Yes. But keep in mind that non inclusive means a couple extra hundred dollars for housing and events and other things. For example, Pi Phi's fees are close to a grand first quarter, definitely not 600.

Yep. The prices may look lower this year, but that just means extra fees are hidden

Ah! And you don't pay most of the fees until you get initiated. So there's a couple weeks buffer to really make up your mind before the big one hits.

There is not such thing as "all-inclusive." That's why it was removed this year. Every chapter has different charges that are included in their dues. In the past all-inclusive meant different things for each chapter and some chapters were less truthful than others. But if you read the booklet the price changes based on whether or not they have monday night dinners, all required apparel included, chapter retreats, or if their member badge is included. :) Hope this helps!
If you go through recruitment you can ask each chapter about it. They all also have payment plans.
