Realistically it's up to you. If you want to spend nothing outside of dues, you don't have to. If you want t-shirts, they're usually about $20 each, but you can buy as many or as few as you want. If you want to buy costumes/outfits for swaps and date parties, budget $10-25 per party. But you can also borrow things from your big/upperclassmen bc they all will have stuff from their freshman years. Really it depends on how much you want to spend/are willing to spend. Keep in mind it costs money to go out to eat with your friends, buy alcohol, etc. But it's really all up to you.

Honestly plenty of girls work a few hours a week to cover extras at various jobs. If your dues, food, housing, car and everything major is covered then you will be fine. Just add an extra $150 a month on top of going out to eat and normal stuff any college student would spend money on.

Some houses do billing systems differently than others so that would be something to look into. There is a round during rush that they should state about their finances and if they say they are “all inclusive billing” then this means that sisterhood events, date parties, etc all come from that one bill. So if they aren’t all inclusive you could be paying a small fee for anytime they have to buy a bus for the date party or you want to go to a sisterhood event . Hope this helps!

Very helpful y'all! That's all reasonable. I'm sure if end up in a house that isn't "all inclusive" they would give me more for things like that. Is $150 a month really on point for true extras? Obviously on top of normal stuff like shopping, alcohol and just regular hanging out.
