Sorority chefs usually earn annual salaries.

Job Outlook
Jobs for chefs, including sorority chefs, are expected to increase 6 percent between 2008 and 2018, according to December 2009 data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics. Most of the job growth for these professionals will be as a result of population increases. Similarly, the Bureau of Labor Statistics indicates that the enrollment in post-secondary schools or colleges will increase more rapidly than that of high schools or middle schools, which can positively impact sorority chefs' salaries. Additional opportunities will be added from those retiring from the profession.
