FAQs

What are the fees and costs related to recruitment and membership?
Fraternity membership costs vary by chapter, but a range is $600-1400 per year. Don't be afraid to ask fraternities about their costs and what is included and required. Some fees, like initiation fees, insurance, and pins, will not be optional.
