If you're going to school in another state please factor in any out of state tuition and fee costs, as well as travel, as those could eat up any sorority funds you may have.
Though it may be heartbreaking to finish out at a JC or CC and transfer with the possibility of not being Greek, being broke and not being able to afford being Greek will also be heart breaking. Find the best school at the best price, and go from there.
I've also never heard of only allowing kids with 60 credits or more to transfer, I came out of the UC/CSU system in California and though it was suggested, and more difficult to transfer into impacted majors, with good grades it could be done before 60 credits and without an AA. I'm so glad I never had to experience a situation like that and peaced out to mule cloning college where it was cheaper to pay out of state than live at home in state, and a hell of a lot more fun. You have my sympathies.
ETA: Don't forget to check how many credits will transfer, how they will count, and when you will graduate. If Florida has JC/CC system similar to California there's a transfer articulation agreement so you are guaranteed to have courses count properly. Going out of state may foul that up and you'd be in school for longer and spending more money. Definitely check into that when you're looking at a four year school.
