I had the same problem when I was an incoming freshman. Unfortunately the dues in my sorority are one of the highest ones at FSU. I work my ass off during the summers to make a few grand and put every penny towards my dues. I work as a promoter at a club through the school year for spending money so my parents don't have to transfer anything into my account. I pay for the dues from what I make over the summer (only about 3/4 for one semester) and my parents pay about half of the remaining balance and we have a student loan for the remaining. It is by no means easy but I love my sorority so much that I try as hard as possible to make it work. There are of course the families that write out one huge check at the beginning of each semester or even the second day of class for the entire year. It's unfortunate that some students have to work their asses off for dues, and others don't even have to think twice about it. But that's life and you gotta do what you gotta do. Good luck! Also sororities work out monthly or weekly payments. You'll still be paying the same amount at the end of each semester, but it might be easier for you and your family to split it up throughout the semester so each time you get paid you pay a portion.
