Keep in mind that the dues for your first semester will be higher than for subsequent semesters. Dues for the new member semester include a lot of one-time fees, such as initiation fees and badge fees.
If the fees you're quoting include housing or parlor fees, maybe your parents would be willing to chip in for the housing/parlor fee portion - on the grounds that you will have to pay for housing and food whether you're living in a sorority house or not.
I did summer internships each year, and some of my earnings went toward my sorority dues. It helped that we didn't have a house.
