At my school, sororities distributed little half-sheets of financial information during round 1. These included everything - dues, initiation fee, badge fee, etc - along with a sum total of what you'd be expected to pay during your first semester and during subsequent semesters. That way, if you knew there was no way you could possibly pay, you could drop out at the beginning. All sororities also offered payment plans where you could pay in, say, 3 installments over the semester - a good thing if you're relying on a job to make those payments.
The first semester is, of course, the most expensive. I would say, if you feel you can meet your financial obligations during subsequent semesters, and it's just those one-time fees that are the hurdle, then borrow a couple hundred bucks from your parents for that first term and go for it.
