Whether or not you can set up a payment plan, I would make sure that before you commit to going through recruitment you have a serious chat with your parents about what you can and cannot afford. Too many times I see girls pledge and ending up working so much to cover dues/housing that they can't actually enjoy the perks of sorority life. It ends up being a HUGE mess because if you resign, it's like you never pledged and the money you've spent up to that point is just gone. It causes problems for numbers for your chapter for chapter total and sometimes for filling the house. So make sure you realistically look at how much it will cost, including how much it will cost to live in the house. Don't factor in payment plans/scholarships or anything that you may rely on, but not receive. Sorority life is well-worth it in my opinion...just make sure you plan ahead and budget accordingly!
