Sorority Membership: Why It's Worth the Cost

Let’s face it. These are tough economic times, and everyone is feeling the crunch of the recession. But as we look to the future and to all of the successes yet to come, we cannot ignore opportunities to invest in that future.

In joining a sorority, you are not simply joining a social club. You are not just “paying for friends.” You are making an investment in your college experience and in your future. You are joining an organization that will help you grow personally and professionally over your lifetime.

Sororities have been at Florida State for over 100 years and even remained a vibrant part of campus life during the Great Depression. For generations women have become members of sororities because theses organizations provide opportunities for leadership development, friendship, and service that are unparalleled on campus. And after graduation, you will join an international network of sorority alumnae who are finding success every day.

Sorority membership may not seem affordable now, but ultimately it is an investment you cannot afford to miss.

This page contains information on specific costs for each of the 15 organizations and breaks down the costs to show, outside of everything listed above, what you are actually paying for when you join a sorority.
