Ahh this is a very salient point about 'boys' I've completely overlooked. I wouldn't be surprised at all if it was confirmed haha

Why does recruitment cost so much at the big SEC schools? I think it was $25 when I rushed at Illinois, and it's probably not that much more than that now, because they still get a lot of same-day sign-ups. I know they have to print recruitment booklets and buy shirts for the RC's, but what else are they spending all that money on when it costs $100/PNM?

Well the registration fee also funds retreats/training materials for ExecBoard/RC prior to recruitment. Especially living arrangements/food/etc if they are put up in a dorm during rush school. And some of it possibly may go to other Panhellenic events throughout the semester.
Certainly $100/PNM hasn't put that much a damper on SEC recruitment.
Last fall the registration fee at SC was $95 (and early registration was $70).
When it was being discussed "what makes a recruitment culture super competitive?" wasn't one of the criteria that Panhellenic could charge a lot for registration and there would still be no shortage of PNMs
