I second the suggestion to look at the Greek websites/info for each prospective school. Taking a look at the pics of the suggested outfits (then, keeping in mind that those pics usually represent the low side of what the outfits usually look like) will give you an idea of what you are looking at for cost. During both of my daughters' senior years, whenever we needed a dressy dress, I always stipulated that whatever we bought needed to be something they would wear to an event at college.
Also, as a parent, I was surprised at how much more it costs for the 'incidentals' for my daughters. Their campus loves themed functions/mixers and it seems there is always a costume to buy or 'create' to attend. Plus, there is a t-shirt favor for every single event on campus. And of course, my daughters love those.
I may get flamed for saying this, but I am pretty sure a Greek daughter costs more than a Greek son! A good pair of khakis can get a lot of wear but a darling cocktail dress has limited shelf life (or so they think).
