If it's the first, that's one thing.
If it's the second, I think it's a bit tacky to ask friends (and potential sisters) to fund your membership.

It may be tacky, but it is something the organization is requiring, so I think she should invite the whole chapter so they can see how hard she has worked. And I think she should charge $5 a plate (you'll raise more money and you won't have to have tons of singles on hand to make change.).
And if people can't come, ask them to donate anyway, and you can give a plate away in their name or something since the idea is to raise money. If you do that, you can promote it to friends and family who live far away and want to help out. You can even start a fundraising site online with youcaring.com. (friends of mine are using that site to help raise money for another friend who has cancer. Insurance covers their medical expenses, but not the time missed from work, etc., so it is a great way to be able to contribute online, and the site doesn't take money from those donating unless they volunteer a contribution to the site).
