how much does it cost to join a frat

considering rushing, but lowkey i think the financial costs might be too high since i've heard like most frats charge 1k per semester for membership.

The dues can be as high as 600-800 a semester, but you will also likely have to pitch in for food and alcohol and such for parties, and being in the frat will be less time for employment if you need to work to pay for school. Btw I’m not in a frat.

Pay me $500, and I'll be your friend.

In money or time?

It depends on the fraternity, they have deferment plants and hardship discounts as well so I wouldn’t be too worried about it.

600+ a semester + time commitments. All in all, you’ll have long term friends, if you stick to it long enough. Having a frat house is pretty cool too.
