EXCLUSIVEI’m spending $200k to be in a sorority but I don’t care - I’ll make ten times that from it

Kylan Darnell has already spent close to $100,000 to be in an elite sorority at the University of Alabama...

At Darnell's sorority fees alone can cost around $30,000 a year.

For those joining the sorority for the first time a lump payment of $4,581 is charged in the fall semester for new member fees, followed by another $4,441 in the Spring semester.

On top of that are ‘dues’, fees paid to cover the activities of the sorority. These are around $1,400 every month.

For members that choose to live in the sorority’s mansion a fee of $10,422 is charged each of the two semesters....

Sounds like she watched Legally Blond a few too many times and thinks of the MC as a role-model.

I was in a fraternity in college and I was poor.

She brought the receipts ...

“Halfway through her four year course, she has earned more than $1million by sharing her experiences with her growing army of loyal followers on TikTok.

Previously crowned Miss Teen Ohio, Darnell already had a firm grip on glamor.

But the cost of landing that title was a drop in the ocean compared to getting a spot - and keeping it - in Zeta Tau Alpha’s Alabama chapter. “

Well, men can join Kappa Kappa Gamma, I would imagine dues would be the same without regard to the lower plumbing< of the person.

There...fixed. If you're going to write professionally, at least use the correct grammar.

Unless they are the ones Tampon Tim and White Dudes for Harris belong to.

Zeta Tau Alpha’s Alabama chapter.

I wouldn't consider Zetas to be an elite sorority.

I was going to say, I was in Kappa Sigma Fraternity at UF in the late 70s, I live in the house for 2 years.

You had to live somewhere and the Frat House fee for living in the house was cheaper than living in an apartment and comparable to living in a dorm.

You had to eat, we had a meal plan, 2 meals a day for Monday thru Friday, it was a more balanced meal plan than eating out or cooking for yourself and wasn’t that expensive.

My parents were schoolteachers and didn’t have an issue with the cost of being in a Fraternity, it helped my father and brother were both in Fraternities at different schools

Well, if the dream career of “NFL quarterback wife” is eventually achieved, I suppose it is a cheap investment. :)

Cute girls but all average in the looks department.

Probably way above average on the bitchy scale.
