Although you are not required to purchase any of these things, most women choose to do so. A photographer will be present at most sorority events, and t-shirts and sweatshirts are printed up for most of the events also. In addition to purchasing shirts for themselves, many women purchase shirts for their dates. If you have any questions concerning the cost of belonging to a sorority, please feel free to ask sorority members during recruitment events about their own sorority costs. Panhellenic stresses the importance of scholarship in sorority life.
Scholarship is a great concern to all sororities.
Each sorority has its own grade point average requirements for pledging and initiation. There is a minimum GPA requirement of 2.0 to participate in Recruitment. Based on information given by the sororities, the average minimum GPA requirement is a 2.27. Most sororities have a GPA requirement for initiation, which is different for each sorority. Once initiated, a sister must maintain a high GPA to remain in good standing with her sorority, thus enabling her to vote on important matters within the sorority and attend social events.
