Number one question, and the one that will likely be asked by the sorority...What has changed for you financially? How will you be able to pay your dues all four years? The chapter will want to know that giving you a chance doesn't mean that they will be taking on a financial risk. If you can't answer those questions satisfactoralily, I wouldn't bother. You burned them with the financial angle. If you go back, you have to go back on strong financial footing.

This is what I was wondering. Even if it was a one-time thing (for example, both your family's cars blew up at the same time and they had to get 2 new ones), there are usually repercussions that last over a period of years. Did you inquire about payment plans? Did anyone suggest that option to you when you said you were dropping?

Oh and also...Were you CLEAR that your decision was financially motivated only? Because if you weren't, I wouldn't bother trying to repledge even if someone dumped 80 pounds of money on your doorstep.
