A lot of schools have gone to an escalating cost...the later you wait to sign up, the more you pay.
It does help - imagine having to get recs (yes, we still do that even though we want the PNMs to do it) for 400 girls who signed up the last week!

There are recruitment booklets that are mailed out, multiple shirts for the RCs, one or two shirts each for the PNMs (usually for philanthropy day, two shirts for two days of philanthropy day rounds), renting auditoriums for recruitment convocations, printing for various needs, tents for shade and water, trash collection, and (I have no idea how much but I'll bet it's a lot) software for recruitment.

And, probably, a lot of other incidentals.
