I'm not going to speak for every collegiate chapter of every sorority, but there are some chapters that will allow you a "break" from their financial requirements during the time you study abroad. Obviously, you'll need to check with the chapters at your school specifically, but I know for a fact that several of the chapters at my institution allow members studying abroad to pay decreased amounts in dues (or none at all) while they were abroad. Dues pay for both the business of the sorority as well as the social functions, so some chapters may elect to "discount" dues since you wouldn't be taking part in the social functions.
Again, make sure you check with the chapters at your school before assuming they will do this! I have no idea where you are attending school, what chapters are there, what the situation is like, if there are houses, etc. But it is always worthwhile to ask those types of questions!
Good luck!
