I guess I took the badge buying to be every badge that went up for sale. And if you did that, even buying all the lower end badges, the calculation for the budget would be hard.
I really do like the idea of alumnae buying badges as a way to get involved, and totally applaud the women who do that.

The badges we most care about are the old ones. if a badge is 1950 or older, then to me it should be in the hands of the sorority, in honor of that woman who helped create the sorority we so love. If a twenty-year old girl sells her own badge-- I think it's very sad, but I couldn't care less.
As for saying it is a way to keep alumnae involved-- hrm. All I can say is, I think you will find that most alumna do things for the love of their sorority, because they want to see it loved & preserved.
