QUESTION: HOW MUCH TIME WILL I BE EXPECTED TO COMMIT TO SORORITY LIFE?

ANSWER: THE AVERAGE AMOUNT OF TIME YOU WILL SPEND WILL DEPEND ON YOUR COMMITMENT TO YOUR RESPECTIVE CHAPTER, BUT WE ESTIMATE 1-2 HOURS PER WEEK, SOMETIMES MORE DEPENDING ON THE TIME OF YEAR. WHAT'S IMPORTANT TO UNDERSTAND IS THAT YOU GET OUT OF IT WHATEVER IT IS THAT YOU PUT INTO IT.

QUESTION: HOW EXPENSIVE IS IT TO JOIN?

ANSWER: FOR PANHELLENIC SORORITIES, A NEW MEMBER CAN EXPECT TO PAY BETWEEN $498-$570 THEIR FIRST SEMESTER AND $312-$324 THEIR SECOND SEMESTER. (BASED ON 20222023)

QUESTION: WILL I BE HAZED?

ANSWER: THE FRATERNITY AND SORORITY COMMUNITY AT UMSL, AS WELL AS EACH CHAPTER'S INTER/NATIONAL ORGANIZATION, DOES NOT CONDONE OR TOLERATE HAZING.

QUESTION: CAN I STILL JOIN IF I’M A COMMUTER, TRANSFER, NON-TRADITIONAL STUDENT, STUDENT EMPLOYEE, ETC?

ANSWER: OUR SORORITIES WELCOME TRANSFER & COMMUTER STUDENTS AS WELL AS FIRST TIME COLLEGE STUDENTS TO JOIN THEIR CHAPTERS. MOST OF OUR SORORITY WOMEN HAVE ONE OR MORE JOBS TO SUPPORT THEIR EDUCATION AND CHAPTERS WORK CLOSELY WITH MEMBERS TO ACCOMMODATE SCHEDULES!
