Yes, I have considered all the different situations but there is just simply no way I can come up with the money - even over a period of time. I had a bunch of money in my college fund that I was going to use to pay for my sorority but, like I said, there were a bunch of different things that happened from a financial standpoint and that money was allotted to different things that ranked higher than the sorority. So, I definitely know I am going to have to drop out, especially since my parents said they can no longer help me pay for it. I also am going to have deal with possible apartment rent next year and I'll also need to use my money I save in the summer simply to buy food, gas and all that stuff during my sophomore year. Our sorority has a plan for people who can't pay it all at once but its not a matter of not being able to pay on time, it's simply there is absolutely no way I am going to be able to come up with that much money. Going into the sorority, I also had NO idea how much time you had to commit to it until after I initiated. Had I known how expensive it was going to be and how much time you had to commit, I probably would have reconsidered joining in the first place. During recruitment, my sorority outlined the dues as being roughly $450-500/semester but realistically, it is more around $800 a semester. There is just no way I can afford this =[
