at the University of Alabama most of peoples "party money" is budgeted to getting good musical acts and then in the spring frats will rent giant ass inflatable slip n slides and mechanical bulls for darties. they also provide beer and hunch punch for everyone at at least 2 parties a week. but their dues also go to the upkeep of their houses, paying their house mother and all of their staff, their food, and other university permits and national dues.
Girls always end up spending way more money on their parties.
