For college students who are entertaining the idea of joining a Greek house on their local campus, the costs associated with joining a house usually vary and while a student will generally live in student housing the first year, costs may only be around a few hundred dollars. Further into school life, a student may move into a Greek house and costs associated with being in the sorority or fraternity may include food costs, Greek clothes and other general living expenses. Generally speaking living in a Greek house will be slightly less expensive than the room and board from the college.
