I don't know what my badge cost, but our formals and similar events ranged from $20-$50.

A fun alternative to buying lettered shirts is making them. Get 1/8 yard of printed fabric, another 1/8 yd of backing fabric, iron-on adhesive, puffy paint, and a plain T-shirt. SUPER cheap alternative to buying them!

T-Shirt: $5 or less at craft stores each, or you can get more flattering ones at stores like H&M, Forever 21, etc.
1/8 yard fabric: under a dollar, and it'll get you multiple sets of letters
Iron-on adhesive: mine was between $8-$12 and it gets you multiple sets of letters
Puffy paint: $1-$2
(Make sure you have an iron and ironing board for the backing, but you can always borrow those!)

Just make stencils out of cardstock (I used old flexible binders for mine) of your Greek letters... you can make multiple fonts too! It's super easy and I find it relaxing to cut out letters when I'm stressed.

If you're good with sewing, you can also stitch the letters on instead of using puffy paint to outline them.
