Now, I'm in a sorority, so I may be ill-informed, but the fraternities my friends are in let them pay their dues at scheduled intervals (say like $100 at the beginning of each month), in a lump sum (all at once, preferably not on like the last day of the semester), or on a personal payment plan they set up with their VP of Finance (say $100 at the beginning of each month doesn't work with your financial situation, they will help you come up with more manageable installments).
