Parents Pay $4,000 For Consultants To Help Their Daughters Get Into A Sorority
Sorority life is more popular than ever, but many people are wondering why parents would shell out so much money for their daughters to join a club that doesn't really affect the trajectory of their life and career.
Sorority life has been a college staple for many young women for decades. Depending on which university you're referring to, about half (or more) of the female student population is involved in Greek life. Sororities, also referred to as women's fraternities, arose in the mid-to-late 19th century, a time when higher education was primarily a male domain. The first sorority, Adelphean Society (now Alpha Delta Pi), was established in 1851 at Wesleyan College in Macon, Georgia. This was followed by the Philomathean Society (now Phi Mu) at the same institution.
