I’m in high school and trying to save up to join a sorority but I need to the breakdown of the costs. I want to join as a freshman and live in the house sophomore year on. help!
The first semester will be the most expensive - usually around $600 or so (depends on the chapter you join) - but it calms down a bit after that. I’m in my first semester in a sorority and I paid $675 this semester, including my homecoming shirt, which was $20-something and optional. You’ll get a detailed breakdown of dues per chapter during recruitment. Sorority houses are considered on-campus housing so you don’t need to worry about extra costs for that, though it is a tiny bit more expensive to live in the house than it is to live in a regular dorm. You’ll also probably need to put down a deposit to live in the house; I know it’s $250 for the chapter I’m in.
All in all, much less expensive than Greek life at other schools, wink wink nudge nudge #gotribe
