Homecoming Expenses

Alpha Gamma Delta

There are many expenses that go into Homecoming for sororities and fraternities. They must make banners, floats, dance costumes, and food for the tailgate on game day. An abundance of time and money goes into homecoming and it is a very stressful week for most people. I can speak for Alpha Gam because I can see it first hand. Hundreds of dollars go into float and usually takes about 30 hours to finish it all. Float committee gets together weeks before homecoming and starts to tackle tasks. Banner usually takes about 15 hours and the budget for that isn’t very expensive but it usually takes around $75. Dance costumes usually run around a $150 because we have to buy costumes for approximately 20 girls. Tailgate food is very expensive because they provide food and drinks for about 300 people. As you can see, homecoming for alpha gam is very expensive and just take into consideration for every single fraternity and sorority.

It is expensive for students as well. Especially for girls that are running for homecoming queen/ Maid/ Junior court. These girls must buy clothes for interviews and as well as to wear out on the field at half time of the game. Homecoming is a great week of the year and brings out many fun events, but not many people realize how much money goes into this week.
