Summary

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.

0:00.0	What's up, festies? Welcome back to another episode of Network in Chill with me, Your
0:11.0	Host Vivian2, aka Yorvich BFF and your favorite Wall Street Curly. So this week, we are
0:16.8	doing a solo episode and we are going to talk about the only thing that TikTok seems
0:21.9	to care about right now, which is sorority rush. And before you start rolling your eyes,
0:28.0	give me a second. In today's episode, we are going to talk about the actual pros and cons the
0:34.0	costs associated, the financial benefits, but we're also going to talk about how being in a sorority
0:39.6	looks different on different campuses. And I'll give you my take on my personal experience,
0:43.7	as well as my understanding of what a more traditional sorority environment could look like,
0:48.7	and my thoughts on those as well. Now, we're going to cover the good, the bad, and the ugly
0:53.7	about Greek life, how you can make it more affordable, and if it's something that you're interested
0:58.2	in, what are some of the things you should know? And if you did see my short form video about this
1:03.4	on social media about a week ago, I hope this also clears up a lot of questions that people had
1:09.0	in the comments and helps to debunk a lot of those preconceived notions that those commenters
1:15.4	were saying on that post. But let me go ahead and actually back up and give you a bit more context,
1:21.0	especially if you are an international listener or you didn't go to a school with Greek life,
1:26.0	and you may not even know what a sorority or fraternity is, to put it really simply,
1:31.6	it is a very involved club. Greek life at its core was a way for like-minded individuals to find
1:38.3	community and that eventually turned into sisterhood in through sororities and brotherhood through
1:44.1	fraternities. It involved things like social outings and community service and over time,
1:50.1	in many cases, it also started to encompass things like your housing on campus as well as where
1:55.7	you would eat your meals and where you would get your food. Obviously, there are a lot of different
2:01.0	versions of this. So for example, at Princeton University, there's something called an eating club,
