Our rush budget last year was about $500 Canadian for each group. THere is no fee for our table or room rentals at the University so really the money was only used for decorations and food at one of the three parties. Also the Panhellenic budget was $150 for food for the panhellenic room. There was also money set aside to make photocopies of information booklets and sheets.
Yes I know that seems very very very small compared to some of the US budgets, but in Canada it's hard enough to convince people to go Greek let alone go to recruitment parties. The biggets year I can remember was last year where at the beginning of the process there were 64 interested girls, quoto only ended up being 12 + 1 though as only 25 girls met the eligiblity requirements by the end of the week.
I'm excited to do the new NPC partially structured recruitment this year I think that it is something that will really help our campus.
