do you have to be rich to be in the top 3

I'm interested in kappa, pi phi, and theta (and equally interested in the others), but I'm on scholarship. I dress nicely but I can't afford things like a Gucci bag. Will they judge me for that?

yes and no. it's not as much about how cash you have but how you will fit into a PC's personality/lifestyle

at any school the gucci bag type of girls will hang together, even if they all aren't from the same background. if that's your friend group and you would really fit in with the personalities, you're fine, but for most people it's not and thats ok

Please look up how much dues are for those houses. It's available via Panhellenic. I'm sorry to say this but part of recruitment is recruiting girls who will pay dues for all 4 years. If that's not something that's really feasible for you than that would impact your experiences. Also, there are additional costs to being in a sorority outside dues, like for formals, big little and living in house.

I just don't want you to rush, join a house then have it be something you can't do because you aren't able to do it financially. And some houses can help with scholarships, but that's more for girls who are already members who run into hardships, not PNMs in my experience.

I've already talked to my parents and they're willing to pay the dues (my mom was in a sorority not at SMU so she knows the financial commitment). I'm just concerned about the whole "image" because a lot of them seem to where big labels and I can't afford those and I'm afraid of being rejected based on that.

You should be more concerned with knowing the difference between “wear” and “where”

It was obviously a typo. Maybe don't judge someone you've never met based on GreekRank posts.

Nobody is going to judge you based on what luxury brands you wear, and if they do they aren’t the right house for you anyways!
