Financial Information
This year, the financial commitment would differ as we have a virtual campus for the 2020 year. As many chapters are still adjusting their budgets, this page will be updated throughout the month of September 2020 to reflect the most accurate financial information for Virtual Formal Recruitment 2020 (updated as of 2020-09-10).
As with any organization, membership in a sorority requires dues. Dues in a typical year cover activities such as REC sports, social events, chapter operations, Panhellenic House chapter room rent, and educational programming. When you first join, there will be some one-time fees such as purchasing your badge. With it being a virtual campus this year, many of the regularly budgeted events have been taken out, and these include semi/formals and physical events.

Most sororities offer payment plans, which can be divided in monthly or bi-annual instalments. Each sorority has different dues and payment plans. If you have any other questions about the financial commitment, feel free to contact us or ask your RC during Formal Recruitment.
