Aren fraternities and sororities expensive?
Joining a fraternity or sorority does involve a financial commitment. The most expensive year of membership is the first year, during which a one-time initiation fee is paid to the national organization and the membership badge is purchased. Many Greeks at UConn cover the cost of chapter dues through no more than two weeks of pay earned during the summer. Contrary to common stereotypes, many chapter members work during the academic year and are financing portions of their tuition and/or housing expenses. Some organizations offer payment plans in order to help spread the cost over several smaller payments. Those chapters residing in the Husky Village require their members to live in the chapter house at least one year. Current information on the associated costs of living in the Husky Village can be found on the Residential Life website .
