I'm not sure how you go about fundraising in order to run a sorority. The purpose of dues is not to "buy friends" but to pay for the events supported by the group and any incidentals incurred, ie. insurance
Your founders, as idealistic young women, may not have for seen these real needs for dues. It's unrealistic to ask others, ie non members, to contribute to your sorority so that you can pay for parties and insurance. Essentially, they are paying your dues for you. When having a fundraiser, what do you tell you donors that the money will be benefiting? If you say charity, then divert it to operational funds for your group, that is unethical. Save the fundraising for your charity work and pay your own bills like everyone else does. There is no shame in it, and as a local, your dues could still be significantly lower than any of the NPC groups.
Additionally: have you guys shopped around a little for insurance? $6000 sounds pretty steep for such a small group. Try negotiating what you can agree to in order to get a lower price.
