And so on . . .
So rarely is this done effectively, on a level playing field, or made understandable to the PNM without a foreign language interpreter.

My alma mater does something very similar
Every chapter hands out sheet with a table on it with the following cost items :
NM Fee
Badge Cost (most basic)
Initiation fees
Dues (fall)
Dues (Spring)
Room & Board
Live-in requirement (1 or 2 years)
Live-out/parlor fees
Estimated social costs (date parties, etc.) and y or n if they are inclusive.
Fines (indicating if they fined for anything like missed chapter, etc.)
Payment plans offered (y or n)
Optional costs (eg extra tees for events, etc.)
Total costs for 2013-2014
You get one of these sheets at EVERY chapter. By the end of the first day, you know exactly what you're getting into cost-wise.
They were given out at COR as well.
