I know very well about all the time one puts in just by hanging out and getting to know people. I have been, one could say, OVERinvolved
with my club and totally know that "mandatory time" really means nothing. Every event we've ever had I was there!
The lifetime commitment is actually one of the biggest reasons I would want to join a sorority (apart from the girls of course). I didn't mean to offend with asking for a "ballpark", I realize that it probably differs across the board. As much as I love the club, etc., my commmitment to it pretty much ends the day I graduate and I like the idea of being in something where my membership would continue past that day.
AXiD670, I am pretty sure many of the club's members would be confused by my choice. The greek community at my school isn't very big and is not a "big thing" either. As much as I feel it is a decision that is mine alone, I have made some very deep friendships in the club and would not want to sacrifice those. And the fact that the club is a social/service club for girls may confuse all the people (non-greek) who
already think I'm in a sorority :s
Thanks everyone for the variety of helpful opinions
