Students in SFL gain lifelong friendships, leadership experience, academic support, and a strong sense of community. They also have the chance to give back through philanthropic work, develop time management and communication skills, and grow as individuals within a values-based organization. Many students say joining their chapter became one of the most meaningful parts of their college experience. 

Each sorority and fraternity manages its own finances independently. The Office of Sorority & Fraternity Life does not participate in the chapter dues process. We strongly encourage students to have open conversations with their families about chapter dues and who will be responsible for payments. Students should also ask questions about dues, fees, and payment processes during recruitment or intake events to fully understand their financial commitments. 

Costs vary by organization and council. Each chapter sets its own dues, which typically cover national fees, chapter events, apparel, and other member-related expenses. Some chapters offer payment plans, scholarships, or need-based assistance. We encourage students to ask for a full cost breakdown during recruitment or intake. Fee waivers for recruitment registration are available in some cases as well as SFL dues.  

After joining, students should receive clear information about their chapter dues, including the amount per semester, what the dues cover, and payment procedures. Most chapters use secure online billing systems such as Billhighway, OmegaFi, Greek Bill, or LegFi; Venmo or similar platforms are not appropriate for dues collection. If you have questions, your student should contact the chapter treasurer directly.

• Be happy and supportive with your student’s choice to join a sorority or fraternity and the organization they choose.
• Remember that this is your student’s choice, and they should choose the chapter that feels right, regardless of legacies or family history!
• If you have a question about sorority or fraternity life, go to the source and ask the staff or the chapter directly.
• Know the names and contacts of the chapter president, new member educator, chapter advisor, and house director (if applicable).
• Ask for details about the financial aspects of membership. Each chapter governs its finances individually. Many one-time fees are paid in the first semester, so expect the first semester to be the most expensive.
• Ask if there are any opportunities to get involved as a parent of family member. 

College is a time to get an education, and academic success should be a main priority of any sorority or fraternity chapter. Sororities and fraternities can be a catalyst for academic success for your child, being surrounded by others who can offer mentorship and accountability. Most chapters will have GPA minimums and requirements to join and remain as a member. Academic programs that work towards a shared goal are also often present.

Check out our Community Reports to see GPA's for all affiliated sororities and fraternities each semester. 

Ask the chapter about its academic expectations and programs and how they support members throughout their membership. 

Like most extracurricular activities, the benefits of fraternity or sorority membership are directly related to the effort you put in. On average, members can expect to dedicate a 2-4 hours per week to meetings and required activities. Optional activities such as serving as an officer, attending social events, joining intramural teams, or assisting with projects will require additional time. With good time management and prioritization, students can balance sorority or fraternity involvement alongside classes, studying, work, and other campus activities.

Prevention is Possible Seminar (SW 301) is an eight-week, one-credit course open to all undergraduates. Meeting twice weekly, the seminar explores the prevalence of sexual violence among college students and empowers participants to foster a culture of consent at KU and beyond. Students examine forms of sexual violence, campus and community resources, and evidence-based prevention strategies through interactive discussions, media analysis, and case studies. Topics include consent communication, the role of misinformation and rape culture, the influence of identity and equity, and the impact of alcohol and drugs on consent. The course culminates in students developing their own prevention strategy. Enrollment is required for new members of Panhellenic sororities and IFC fraternities.
