It really depends on your school. My dues included all that you listed above. In addition, I spent a couple hundred (probably more like $400 when you count the monogrammed matching PJs) on Big/Little, plus more money on taking our new members on "soda dates"...all the little things that you do as a Sophomore that can add up (these are pretty much required). You'll also spend socially, just doing things with your sisters, like movies or dinners.

As for things that aren't really required...In addition to what is above, tshirts for every single event run about $15-20, plus I bought a new outfit for every party/mixer (approx 1-2 a month). Plus donating to our philanthropy and those of other Greek organizations. And when you invite a guy to your date party, you typically make him a gift ($50-100), buy some liquor and take him out to dinner. The list can go on and on, depending on how "involved" you want to get. Oh - and season football tickets + expenses for road trips to games with your sisters, etc etc etc.

I pledged almost 10 years ago, not sure if tshirts still cost the same or not! I'm sure some spend much less and some spend quite a bit more than others. I know my big spent probably double what I did on big/little gifts.
