My chapter had payment plans when I was there. Our dues were much less though but I guess it all balances out if you count your rent/house fee in that amount. Also most sisters worked in college. It is all about priorities and managing your time appropriately. It can be done. The sisters who were in financial trouble at the time, who couldn't pay their dues, were the same sisters who had money to buy new outfits at least once a week or more, and go out 5-6 nites a week, so again, it is manageable and it is all about priorities. Being a member of a sorority teaches you financial responsibility, as well as helping you learn to say "no" when you need to put school and work responsibilities ahead of "play". Working in the summer, as mentioned, is a good way to stash away cash. Also if you look for a job where you can also bring your schoolwork and make $$$ at the same time, that can take stress off of you. Good luck!!!!
