financial

Many girls pay for their own dues. Lots don't, but lots do, or at least help out. Good luck and don't stress.

It is important that you can meet the financial commitments but no one knows your family's situation. There are too many girls going through rush for them to research any of this.
I have several sisters that pay their own way through school and sorority. It's all good.

No one will know your financial background unless you tell them. Do not talk yourself down. You should be proud of you and your mom for overcoming adversity and going to an excellent university.

First off, "lower middle class" isn't that bad! Stop acting like you're living in a womens shelter and be appreciative. You may not own a house, but hey at least yall rent. You're not homeless! Tons of girls pay their own dues regardless of their financial background. No one is going to ask you anything about finances during recruitment and if the do, tell your rho gam because they are NOT supposed to. It doesn't matter how you pay em as long as you do and no one is going to judge you for how much money your mom makes.
