However, many many chapters have spending limits in place to keep that from happening.

You could easily spend more than that. Most girls get crafty and cut down on the costs of some things. I made my little a reversible throw with her letters and initiation number embroidered on it. If I had paid for an official throw it would have cost 30 dollars more than what I spent on it, plus hers is personalized.

Of course crafting leads to wanting to make something for yourself....and soon your room looks like it got hit by a hurricane following your craftgasm.

I always thought it was a good tradition for your big to buy your first stitch shirt, but obviously some groups don't do big/lil until it gets close to initiation. I had puffy painted shirts for a few months before I actually got my stitch. And when I figured out that my mom had an embroidery machine, I was able to make my own stitch shirts with $4 shirts and $10 hoodies from walmart.

I've never heard of this term!
Do explain!
