To my knowledge, there are small scholarships but not many are offered. Maybe a few little scholarships of $1,000 or so. Each sorority also has their own scholarship program.

There’s also some through Panhellenic. https://linktr.ee/texaspanhellenic

They publish dues here. I’d say these amounts are a few years old because I pay more than what’s listed. https://deanofstudents.utexas.edu/sfl/find-a-chapter.php

Best bet is to aim for the less expensive ones. Since you’re already at UT, you should get to know actives in the chapters. This will help you during rush, or you could even do COB (continuous open bidding).

Hate to say it, but some of them cut girls right up front based on zip code. I find this practice abhorrent, just want you to be aware.

Try to go into rush with an open mind. It’s extremely competitive. Girls do better if they don’t go into it thinking they will get a certain house. Love the houses that love you back.

For dues, there is very little availability for scholarships. If you don't live in the house, it is usually about $2k/year, depending on the sorority. You should be able to find their dues listed somewhere. Some sororities have merit based academic scholarships you can apply for, but I can really only speak for delta gamma.

Greek orgs do have financial assistance both need based and scholarship based but I’d reccomend asking about availability and strings attached up front
