most and least expensive sorority?

by:    

I'm interested in rushing in the fall but I'm concerned about sorority dues (I've read that they range from $1500 to $2500). Does anybody know roughly which sororities have the highest dues and which ones have the lowest? Also, are there a lot of hidden fees involved when you join a sorority? Thanks!

Ask Panhellenic-- they should have a list of each house's dues
Ignore the poster above: they are uninformed. Kappa and DG are both great houses.
SDT probably has the lowest b/c they don't have a house. The rest provably don't vary by much.

Highest to lowest (live-in) [$4,840 - $3,613]:

Pi Phi
AXO
Alpha Phi
Theta
Kappa
Gamma Phi
Delta Gamma
TriDelt
Alpha Gamma Delta
ADPi


SigDelt (no house so rent is separate) is under $2,000

Live-out dues are all under $2,200 but you have to pay rent somewhere else on top of that. The above is rent AND dues, and usually a certain number of meals too.

Bottom line though, the cost difference (especially paying per month) isn't huge between any of the houses. If you can't pay for one, you can't pay for any of them. If you live in, it's cheaper than university housing and many of the options around SC, so you won't really be losing anything - some girls even SAVE money.\n\n\n\n\n

If you have to ask, maybe you shouldn't rush.

The posters have given you a good idea on what dues run. But there are many more costs-- gifts for your big or little sister, costumes to wear to the themed events (no matter how creative you are, you usually end up buying something), buying stuff with your letters on it, really there's quite a lot of extra stuff/costs.

These dues are per semester, right?

Both DG and SigDelt's dues are under $1400 for sisters who don't live in the house (aka everyone in SigDelt). And yes that is per semester.

Per the list requested from Panhellenic, that is not what the dues were listed as for people rushing last year.

If you're reading this and want to know who's right, email Panhellenic yourself and get the list.

Panhellenic RC's will provide you with a list of dues that breakdown new member, live in and live out fees. Just ask on the first day and don't be scared because the sororities won't know if you asked or not. They want you to be able to afford their dues because if you drop for financial reasons you just take a spot from someone else who would have been great
