About Sororities

Sorority membership means commitment. When you join, you will make a promise to uphold your sorority's standards and to support your sisters. Two other obligations of members are time and a financial committment.

In addition to the time commitment to your studies, you will be expected to attend chapter meetings and other sorority events. Your attendance is required at some of these meetings and events.

Cost of sorority membership varies among groups. You will have a financial obligation to pay your sorority expenses. Dues and one-time expenditures support all sororities.
  • Examples of one-time expenditures for new members are: badges, national enrollment, and house corporation fees (depending if the college chapter owns their own sorority house).
  • Variable fees include chapter dues, housing, and depending upon the campus-meals.
The details regarding your financial commitment will be listed prior to your final decision to become a member.

Sororities strive to make membership as affordable as possible. Many sorority women hold jobs, receive financial aid or earn scholarships. There are also programs and scholarships for those who need assistance with membership.
