Financial Transparency Information
As a member of a sorority you will be charged dues each semester that you are an active member of an organization. These dues vary from semester to semester and will differ for each organization. It is one of Panhellenic's priority to ensure all potential members are aware of the financial obligation that will come with sorority membership.
During Formal Recruitment, this information will be presented to you during Sisterhood Round. If you are participating in COB, the chapter you are joining is required to share their organization's financial information with you before you agree to membership.
Below you can find the 2024-2025 financial transparency information for each individual chapter as well as common definitions found among all of the organizations. If you experience any difficulty accessing the following information due to a disability, please contact [[adgerling,Alexa Gerling]].
