can i join a sorority if i am financially burdened

Sounds like you're asking for too much... studying abroad too? Not even well-off kids ask for that. You should make a decision between that and joining a sorority. In my opinion, joining a sorority has longer lasting impacts in terms of social relationships and spiritual well-being than studying abroad does. Let's be honest, study abroad is nothing more than a glorified vacation.

Hi there,

I think you should take what the poster "uhh" with a grain of salt, but of course this goes for my post too. I've known people who have done both, myself included. You'll need to be resourceful. There are lots of a study abroad scholarships available for students on financial aid. You should check with the study abroad office, and the university that you'll be going to. There's also the Gilman Scholarship, private scholarship through the university, and the EAP scholarship that every student is eligible for. Sororities also have scholarships available for their members, and some have payment plans for their members that are flexible. You'll need to ask. And I'll have to disagree with "huh." I do not think study abroad is a glorified vacation. It's only that if you make it so.
