So if a sister can't pay her dues, she should get her vital fluids pumped out every week and risk her health? I seriously hope you're joking. I have been anemic off & on since I was 13 - if I had to do plasma donations every week, I would be dead.
Also, for some people, attending college is a family affair. That is, EVERYONE in the family sometimes has to make sacrifices so the person can attend. I know that if I knew my mom, dad and sister had to give up things that are important to them just so I could be in a sorority, it would make me feel guilty as all hell. There are lots of people, probably some on here, that didn't go to the school of their dreams because of the impact it would have had on their family.
Not to mention the hits some families have taken with job losses, divorces, etc....you can literally go from living large to scraping by in a second.
People do quit because of the money, and they do give up things they really want and are getting benefits from, BECAUSE IT IS JUST NOT FINANCIALLY FEASIBLE. Anyone who thinks that is a bogus excuse needs to take their head out of the sand and look at the state of America today.
