Have you thought about living on campus and in the dorms? I don't know if your sorority requires you to live in their house, but have you tried thinking about living on campus and getting the meal plan? This would be able to help you with some of your expenses.
Look into your local newspaper and I'd bet that there are Home Health agencies or someone needing someone to stay with grandma/grandpa/aunt or uncle fester at night and would be willing to pay a decent wage that would help you out.
What options, as far as a job, have you been able to look into? I know that you said that you're carrying a full courseload, but if staying in your sorority is something that you want to do, you should be able to find something that would help in deferring your sorority cost expenses.
I know that you said that your sorority doesn't care if you have a job, but I'd bet, if you asked some of your sorors, you'd find out that yes, some of them do have a job. People understand what things are like right now, they know that yes, Virginia, some folks will have to work to pay for what they need. No you will not be able to attend EVERY function, but by working, you will be able to have the PEACE of mind in knowing that you don't owe anyone and that your fees are paid for. Don't think that folks won't understand, don't assume, people are more diverse in their feelings and in their understanding than what you may be thinking.
Being able to work and maintain a full courseload is hard, yes, but it can be done! I know that when I was in school, I had a full courseload and yes, I had to work. I didn't work off campus, but I was on campus and I had to fulfull those workstudy hours, the RA hours, and I had to maintain my GPA in order to maintain ANY and ALL scholarships that I had for that year! It can be done, but you just have to make up your mind in doing it.
But if you feel that you can't stay in your sorority, talk with your big now. I think that she will be able to help you or show you the way to help more than what you think. I know that you are apprehesive in talking to her, but do now because there may be more options than what you think.
