I could spend 100k on rush. Hell, I could spend $10,000,000 on rush.
A nice house doesn't mean anything. Our house is worth about 4 million- any house in Amherst with more than 2 square feet of yard is worth a small fortune, and we have a couple acres. We're actually the poorest fraternity here- we have a total budget next semester of $33,000, but $31,000 of that is for mortgage payments and house repairs, so we have an operating budget of $2000. Our rush budget is $200. And to answer your questions, yes, we do just fine- rush here isn't the big pageant it is other places.
The richest fraternity at UMass is SigEp, whom I refer to as 'The Republicans'. The last semi-accurate rumor I heard had their rush budget at around $2000- blue-blood for around here, but peanuts for most other schools our size, I know. Our Greek system is small and relatively poor, because most students at UMass are relatively poor- if they had any money, they'd go to a good school.
