SORORITY RUSH SZN! The Cost of Greek Life. Aug 23, 2023

On this week's episode of Networth and Chill, we are diving into the world of Greek Life! With Fall semesters beginning, and Sorority Rush Season in full swing in some places, I want to talk about the cost of Greek Life, and take a look at what that money can buy. How much does it actually cost to Rush? And once you are accepted, what should you expect to pay to stay in the sisterhood? The cost of Greek Life has always come with scrutiny, with many saying the lofty dues are just a way to "pay to make friends". However, I have seen first hand that there are plenty of financial and social benefits to joining Greek Life, and the cost you pay can open doors you might not otherwise have access to.
