Being that I missed the rush activities, I suppose there's a silver lining to every cloud in that I now have more time to read up on and research more into the philanthropy.
My only hesitation would be the fact that I'm basically needing to work nearly every weekend to make ends meat - you know how college life is. Do you think this would weigh heavily on the rush activities should I go ahead and rush SAE?

Rush activities are supposed to be events the chapter hosts to get to know the prospective members. The chapter should be paying for the events, not the rushees. You shouldn't have any problems here.
That having been said, there are certain unavoidable expenses associated with pledging (required fees, etc.), not to mention as an initiate, but there are also opportunities to deal with those as well, such as fundraisers (which also help build team unity). Any chapter that puts the bottom line ahead of a dedicated member, rather than finding a way to work something out, isn't a chapter I'd want to waste my time dealing with anyway.
