Helpful hints!
I dunno what it's like in a sorority, but I do know plenty 'bout bein' in a frat. can't be that different
1) fees usually aren't that much of a burden. My parents are going through a divorce now too, an' it is my dad who's payin' for college (funny it's always the father who has to pay :-/ ). Understanding this burden I offered to pay my frat fees myself. I work during the summer an' save up enough cash to not have to worry about it, an' then have a small job during the year. I've never had a bad word come between me an' my dad over finances.
2) Dances: There's a beauty in the greek community in that there's paralels between mens an' womyns organizations. In a frat somewhere there's a guy with just the same problem as you I bet. An in much the same way that you're anctious to dance the night away so will he. (he goes to your dance, you go to his)
3) getting in: as long as your a good persun, an' keep your mind with you during pledging I'm sure you'll have no problem getting in.
4) You can learn more about the organization by meeting its members than goin' to their webpage. You'll have to learn so much about the organization history during pledging you'll have nightmares about it (well, not reallly, but you'll learn a lot an' you'll be proud of bein' part of such a prestigious group)
5) Philanthropy is what I love most about greek life. I've always been a big fan of community service. It makes perfect sense to me: if people see you in the community they'll want to know both you an' your organization a little bit better. It's the best way to rush an' make new friends. Showing an interest does only good things for you.
