We get asked this question a lot, mostly because many people have heard outrageous amounts expected of them in order to join. Every NPHC organization has a different requirement, varying from $400 to $1000. Your initial membership fee will pay for new member materials, as well as go back to the sorority on national, regional, state, and chapter levels. Please remember that joining a sorority does require a financial commitment, as no organization can operate without funds.
