Attended community college-GPA 3.4
Transferred to State School-GPA plummets due to working 40 hours to pay for classes that I couldn't attend because I was working to pay for them (yay for shitty financial aid advisors who don't know what they are doing and stick you with a huge bill that MUST BE PAID...should note here I was trying to go the "no student loans" route...so I did shoot myself in one foot, while FIN AID shot my other) and not dropping hte classes, just ended up failing them. (Yay for shitty advisors who were never available and schedualed appointments to become "no shows" leaving me waiting for AN HOUR before giving up...ok sorry mini rant)
*GPA plummeted to point of academic probaton
Went back to community college- GPA 3.2
When transferring down to School out of state, will they look at just the college I transfered from, or both?

I'm going to echo kddani's sentiments and add that based on some of your posts (and I don't want this to sound too critical) it sounds like you don't take a lot of personal responsibility.
I'm not really sure why you chose to work 40 hrs/week if you knew you had to go to class. If you couldn't schedule your classes around work, or better yet, work around your classes, I dn't know how you're going to handle sorority life because there are meetings, fund raisers, practices and all kinds of other stuff in addition to class.
Many of my sisters were able to successfully balance school, work and sorority but everyone was strategic about how they did so. They would work around classes and sorority stuff and sometimes usually in the evenings.
I guess I'm not understanding why everything is financial aid's fault if you chose to go to the non-loan route?
It also sounds like there will need to be some kind of help in the financial department if you are seriously considering a sorority. Sororities aren't cheap.
If you do get into a sorority, and decide to work as well, you will need to consider that you will likely need to take around 2 weeks off (at least that was the time committement at my school) for recruitment. That's 2 weeks of unpaid time unless you are fortunate enough to work at a place that will give you that time paid in the form of vacation.
And like kddani said, you should be responsible for passing your classes. The blame should not be on the advisors just because they weren't there when you decided you wanted to drop them.
If you work during the day, go to class and study at night.
I remember this one remarkable woman who worked 2 jobs and consistently had one of the highest grades in our junior and senior level classes. This woman worked a lot, graduated owing nothing for her education and graduated with honors. She looked tired a lot of the time, but she was dedicated to school and made it.
