I have a D in an "old row" house at bama and her roommate was in a new row house. I compared our dues to one another and though ours was a bit higher I later found out that ours was an "all inclusive" price, meaning it covered just about everything. The roommate still had to pay for a pin and other things. I would loosely budget $8,000-$10,000 a year for living out of the house.
Remember that this also covers your meal plan. The girls eat at the house M-F for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. You will automatically be taken off of the campus meal plan when you accept a bid.
As far as outside fees, the only thing my D has purchased is goofy stuff for theme mixers and one or two formal type dresses (one long and one short). If you have these already, they can be re-worn. The girls in her sorority even set up a facebook dress exchange and borrowed each others formals.
Good luck to you! It will be the best year of your life (so far)!
