GREEK LIFE

Costs of Membership

Since the inception of Greek Letter societies, groups have been self-sufficient. Each chapter and subsequent national office collect dues and membership fees from every member. Most groups have a one-time pledge and initiation fee, plus semester dues.

During recruitment, each student should ask about specific chapter fees. Fees vary from chapter to chapter and whether the member lives in the fraternity or sorority. Average pledge and initiation fees for men are $100.79 and $189.30 respectively; average semester dues are $300.77. For women, the average pledge and initiation fees are $87.33 and $149.56 respectively; average semester dues are $236. Average room charges are $2,694 for men's groups and $2,621 for women's groups per semester.
