How great of a hypothetical sister is she if she is badmouthing her sorority to strangers on the internet?
Membership in the same organization doesn't afford anyone the right to control my purse strings for their various causes, just as I don't have to contribute cash to every 5K run my coworkers participate in or every candy sale their precious kiddies get suckered into. A lot of employers have no solicitation rules, and I feel that same courtesy should apply to college students.
We all have the right to come to work or chapter meeting, promote our "extracurriculars" and respect that others have the right to not participate in our pet causes. It's not my role to fund your cause if I'm not interested, and I'm not a bad person for not doing it and then spending $10 on a glass of wine at the bar to destress from the week. We all have our own priorities. You want to run for cancer, go for it and good luck. Raise the money. It's not my problem if you're $5 short, and it doesn't mean I'm not out there volunteering in my community or contributing to the causes I hold dear.
