When I read the initial poster's thoughts, I felt she wanted to know total costs of each organization as she would be paying the bill. She appeared to me as if she was doing her research beforehand and felt what she was finding were extreme costs from low to high. I applaud her for being concerned and wanting to be ready to fulfill a contractual obligation. She is wise to be concerned and I wish many more people would be like that. I have witnessed so many poor instances when girls/moms/dads should have done more research. When people are not well informed it does hurt more than just that one member. It is a problem for the whole organization.
ITA with MaggieXi that panhellenic should see a thread like this. I feel in a good or bad economy people should be well informed. Of course, you can't account for every single penny that will be spent, but you can give a very solid figure for every organization based on the prior year. It can and should be made available for each group. It should be posted or readily available if anyone needs to reference it.
At the very least, maybe we can learn from this thread.
