how much do dues cover?

[simplywaiting10]

i'm rushing this week starting tomorrow! super excited

just a quick question. i know answers will vary, but i'm just wondering. how much do our dues cover? like what exactly are we paying for? do we still have to pay for socials and formals if we pay our dues? i dont really understand. can anyone clarify??

also, since im already on the financial topic, typically how much do you have to spend on your lil sis when you get one?? lol. sorry guys, i'm not trying to sound cheap, i just need to know the financials. my parents are asking.
