I get rundown very easily and when i get rundown i get really sick (nausea, stomach flu, sore throat....the works) and she didnt want that happening to me just because i had to do something. It was ultimately my decision, i could have tried to work out something w/the sorority, but i decided not to. My mom wasn't doing it to make me mad or nothing, and i respect her decision. It just wasn't meant to be. And i'm too close to my family to move out b/c of this.

I want to echo what the above have mentioned. And I'm sure the last thing you want is for annonymous Greeks to be telling you how to run your life...
HOWEVER... it sounds like you know your boundries. You know you get sick if you are overwhelmed. Within the above post, I don't see you as someone who would be staying out every night until 3 am. And if you brought this up to your mother and clarify that YOUR own boundries will keep you well, safe and sane enough that you don't need HER'S on top of that.
In college, I needed my 8 hours of sleep, no questions asked. When I pledged my local, I had a couple late nights. Most were optional... others were not. But I survived. And I learned to manage my time so I could do my homework, the sorority and so forth. It meant having classes 5 days a week and no job, but I did it somehow.
I just think you'll be kicking yourself later if you don't get involved on campus SOMEHOW and stay at home. And late nights are not limited to Greek events.
