Almost all of the expense is covered by our sorority dues. No member is asked to spend her own money on stuff for rush (decorations, food, costumes, etc). We are always reimbursed if we spend money on stuff for the parties. We pay for our own clothes (not skit costumes, but "normal" clothes for rush parties) but what we wear is almost always stuff that the vast majority of us already own. For example, one night we all wear black pants and a pastel colored top. It's not like any of the members have to run out and spend a few hundred bucks on that, everyone already has it. Other nights we wear jeans and a t shirt or a simple black dress (again, most people already have it).

I have no idea what spending limit panhel sets for each night. We aren't allowed to do much with food during formal rush. We serve drinks during a few parties and small snacks, but nothing fancy like shrimp trays.
