NPC sororities on my campus had a $3000 maximum to spend on Rush, and all receipts had to be provided to Panhellenic to prove that no one went over that amount.
We never had to pay for anything out of our own pockets except for the Bid Day baskets. Even that was pretty cheap, because we were paired up with another sister and had to make or purchase a set amount of identical things for the baskets. For example, if quota was set at 25, then I and the sister I was paired with were in charge of making 25 DZ cups to go in the baskets. Another set of sisters would get 25 DZ pens, and so on. It was very inexpensive to do things that way.
As for our party outfits, we usually already had the clothing we needed for each party. If someone was in a skit, then the chapter would purchase her "costume" and add the cost to the other Rush receipts.
