In Perú, we usually chip in when it comes to contributing to buying more drinks or food so a party can go on. In Spanish we say "hacer una chancha or chanchita". That means we collect money from the guests at the party. It is up to the guest how much s/he can contribute. Not contributing is seen as something negative and you could build yourself a bad reputation if you are known as a non-contributing person. This applies more to men than to women. Women expect to be invited food and drinks.
