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 =[

Have you doubled checked that the dues are still $800? You mentioned you
just joined, and usually the first semester is much more expensive for Initiation and other fees. I'd double check that you have the right amounts. Perhaps the budget changed but that is quite a large increase so it would be smart of any member to be aware of what that amount is paying for.
