I think that it could be a combination of new member education and recruitment.
Maybe the members that you're recruiting arent taking their membership in your organiztion seriously enough. I understand that people have problems with money, and family and grades, but unless they're severe, I dont necessarily think that they should contribute to a high dropout rate. If anything, you should use the support of your sisters/brothers to help you get through your tough time.
You might be able to overcome this by
A) Screening out the girls/guys in recruitment who may potentially be not as committed as your chapter would desire.
B) Incorporate into your new member education program something that teaches/stresses the value of preserverance and commitment, and how strong your chapter can become in the process.
these are just my thoughts.
