Financial Obligations Joining a sorority is a financial obligation that should be taken seriously. Each chapter has financial requirement, which families should discuss before their daughter pledges a sorority. Financial requirements may include membership dues, meal plan, house fees as well as room and board if you live in the sorority house. It is important to note that membership fees vary by sorority.

Greek 55 Meal Plan Since the majority of the Panhellenic sororities have their own mandatory meal program, the University automatically downgrades new members to the Greek 55 meal plan at a cost of $538 per semester, when they join a sorority that has a fullservice kitchen. If you join a sorority with a full-service kitchen, the chapter provides 14 meals a week. Breakfast, lunch and dinner are served daily Monday - Thursday, and breakfast and lunch are available on Fridays. Greek 55: Average of 2-3 meals per week, perfect for weekends when the chapter is not serving meals. Students who would like more than 55 meals per semester may change their meal plan to one of the following: Bronze (90 meals per semester), Silver (125 meals per semester), or an All Access plan. The University generates an official list of all new Greek members, and student accounts will automatically be credited the difference between the original meal plan and the Greek 55 downgrade.
