Be sure you look into all the costs and ask the right questions.
The other side of that coin is, what if you have a wedding or something to go to that weekend and are unable to attend formal? Then you've paid for something you didn't get to participate in. And that sucks.

I just know that if we had said formal price was "built in" to our dues, and they were higher than other campus chapters as a result, we would have had some very angry members. Maybe this works at a campus where everyone has lots of money, but for us it would have been a disaster and very divisive.
