Question 5

Do I have to pay any fees to be a member of a sorority?

Accepted Answer

Both our sororities have dues required for their membership, but the recruitment process is free! During recruitment, each sorority will break down their fees. The fees go towards sisterhoods, events, philanthropy, etc. 
Some members are supported by their families, but many work part time in order to pay by themselves! Don’t let costs deter you from joining a sorority!
Most sororities also offer payment plans, which can be divided into monthly or bi-annual instalments.

Do I need a minimum GPA to join a sorority?

Accepted Answer

No, you do not need a minimum GPA to join a sorority. However, we do encourage our members to always strive for their very best academically!

Question 7

What is the time commitment?

Accepted Answer

The time commitment is based on you! We understand that as students you have other responsibilities and may not have the time to attend certain events. Our two sororities differ in their specific events, but both have meetings, sisterhoods, some required events, and some non-required events. Sisters can also always spend time with each other outside of events! We are here to support you and do our best to accommodate your schedule, but overall, you determine how much you want out of the sorority based on how much time you put into it!
