<p>I think I remember reading somewhere that meal plans were not mandatory in summer, but you may want to check with housing.</p>
<p>Sorority rush is the week before Fall term starts, so your summer housing selections will not be impacted.</p>
<p>Sorority costs on listed on FSU’s Panhellenic website.</p>
<p>[Panhellenic</a> Finances](<a href=“Fraternity and Sorority Life”>Fraternity and Sorority Life)</p>
<p>On the detailed information page, each chapter breaks down what their dues cover. The figures are probably for this year, so dues maybe slightly different next year.</p>
<p>My daughter pledged a sorority and lives in a meal required dorm. Dining services offers a reduced meal plan to sorority members with mandatory meal plans. Also, my daughter sorority gave her a discount for having a required meal plan. I do not know if all sororities do that. But even with both discounts, we are paying more than if she lived in a different dorm.</p>
<p>As for the meal plan itself, my daughter rarely uses it. She really does not like the food at Suwannee.</p>
<p>There are a lot of trade-off here. My daughter is in a east-side dorm, which is a great location for her classes and the sorority house, but the mandatory meal plan is a negative.</p>
