Financial Breakdown of Sorority Life at UCLA
A comparison of publicly listed Panhellenic dues across UCLA sororities based on the UCLA Panhellenic financial information page.
UCLA operates on a 3-quarter academic system during the school year — Fall, Winter, and Spring — with an optional Summer quarter where greek life does not operate. Estimated yearly totals below are based on the three standard academic quarters.
“New Member Dues” or “First Quarter New Member Dues” refer to the initial dues paid during a member’s first academic quarter in the chapter.
Greek life can offer scholarships, payment plans, and financial assistance depending on the chapter, but it’s still helpful to come in knowing the numbers and asking the right questions before recruitment and housing decisions.
