Is there a cost associated with joining a fraternity or sorority?
Each individual fraternity or sorority does have a cost associated with membership. While each organization cost differs, dues typically include insurance, national/international dues, normal operating expenses, and programming. Additionally, during your first semester, there are usually initiation fees that range from $150 – $700, but typically lessen after your initiation. Usually, each person is responsible for purchasing the additional tee-shirts, date-dashes, formals, and other incidentals. Payment plans are usually available and researching the costs for each organization is suggested.
