I would hope that people would pull together and give whatever nickels/dimes/pennies they had, but I totally understand a college student not having any money to give. We once raised $600 for Dance Marathon strictly off of spare change raised by the sorority. People were coming to my room so proud of how much they raised, it was really cool to see.
However, I think the other side is that the sister wanting the money needs to be a little more understanding as well. It sucks for her, but the fact of the matter is that there have been a couple of times where one of my sisters has done something that I didn't support just because it wasn't as high of a priority to me as it was to them, as bad as that sounds. I went to a large school, so the amount of times I was hit up for money for Dance Marathon/Derby Days/ADPi McDonald House/Cancer/PUSH America/etc... was insane. I perfectly understand people not giving because they've given so much. One year, we had Derby Days, Turtle Tug, and PUSH America in the same week... people picked which one of the three they were going to contribute the bulk of their time to. I think it's the same for giving money. With so many requests, you have to make choices.
