If she can't pay the dues, then she shouldn't join the chapter! I'm sure every chapter of every NPC has had members who had to withdraw for financial reasons. With that said, you should ask questions and explore all of your options before ruling out a chapter for the dues.
1. Does the chapter offer a payment plan?
2. Are there chapter or campus Panhellenic scholarships to help with dues for members with financial need?
3. What do the dues include? What costs extra?
4. Are you paying for all of your sorority financial obligations or are your parents helping you out?
5. Are you working? If not, an on-campus job might be a good way to be able to pay your dues.

Sometimes the opposite can be true if a chapter is good at managing its money or is in debt. My chapter had among the lowest dues and was very inclusive, and I know of other chapters who had higher dues that were much less inclusive and had fewer socials.
