There are sixteen chapters in the Inter-Sorority Council at UVA, and you will find all sorts of young women as members of these organizations. The recruitment process is a great way to learn more about the personalities of these groups and the women in them, and hopefully find a place where you fit.

New member semester dues (the dues you will pay in Spring 2013 if you choose to rush) range from $750-$1800. At the end of the second round of recruitment (there are four), you will be given a pamphlet from every house you attend that has this information. Make sure you are thinking about the financial obligations, and discussing them with your parents or anyone on whom you are financially dependent. While joining a sorority can be a big financial commitment, the ISC and (I believe) every sorority’s national organization offer scholarships for smart, dedicated chapter members with financial need. If you are concerned about the opportunities for scholarships within a particular organization, check out each chapter’s national website.

[Virginia ISC](http://www.virginiaisc.com) is a great resource for women in sororities and those women thinking of joining them. You will find information about every chapter and about the umbrella organization that is the ISC. While a few on this board have seemed to disagree, I am sure you will find that the largest women’s organization at the University (with upwards of 1800 members after formal recruitment each year) is full of strong, smart, passionate, and involved women who are dedicated to something larger than them. Feel free to PM me with any additional questions you may have, OP.
