[Peaches-n-Cream]

We had very low dues that only covered national and campus fees and a few mixers, but we had many out of pocket expenses which we paid almost every week. Instead we started a "slush fund" which covered those expenses and then some. For example, if we attended another GLO's event together instead of each paying for an individual ticket, we would write a check for our sorority and use money from the slush fund. We would count the number of t-shirts we would buy and number of events we would attend and figure out a price. I think the amount that we each had in our slush fund was $50. When we attended an event or bought something, we would deduct the amount from the individual's slush. Any money left over went to pay for the formal. It eliminated the need to pay for different things every week, but it did increase our dues.
