Who cares what other chapters are doing? You can't control them.

My chapter had a spending cap of $250 at the time. We also had required items that every big had to purchase (so that every little sis got some of the same things.)

I think the required items were a badge box (most people made them so they weren't expensive), a lettered tote, set of initiation pearls (real or fake), and matching letters for the revealing (our revealing was such that the Little Sis found her shirt then found the person wearing the matching one.) You'd get a different gift every day with your shirt given to you the day of revealing.

Our Big Little Week ran right into our Initiation weekend so you got your pearls on the last day too.

As far as shirts, that varied in price. Like, I got my Little and I matching hoodies, but some people got tees.

While it wasn't a significant expense for me (I only have one Little Sis), it was for some (e.g. the people who took twins.)

The "other chapters" thing is interesting because I remember my Little Sis having friends in other chapters who were getting brand new letters everyday, and others who were only getting candy and things like that everyday (with a big gift basket at the end.)

Yeah, I have to agree. It sounds like this chapter is thinking "if rushees hear what awesome gifts we give, maybe they'll pledge us instead of Top Tier Chapter."
