It is not only a financial, but also time commitment. Does the Dean of her major condone sorority activities?

I have a relative who graduated from Purdue in one of their more demanding majors. The professors suggested that they not have jobs the first year. The cousin managed to work one weekend a month (8 hours on Saturday and 8 hours on Sunday) and still ended up with a 4.0 in pharmacy after two years of working one weekend a month. He just planned around it by staying in on Friday to study the weekend he worked, etc. Maybe something like that would work for her if it were related to her major, so that she would be getting career experience in the mean time. Also, don't under estimate how much she could save up during the summer to help pay for t-shirts, favors, etc.
