When I started my Occupational Therapy program, they also told us that we should not hold a job, belong to other organizations, get married, etc. because the program was so demanding. So yes, it was demanding, but I still managed to work two jobs and be very active in Alpha Gam (as an officer the whole time). I still graduated magna cum laude. Maybe it would have been summa cum laude if I hadn't done all that other stuff, but I also would've been broke and bored. Some people did struggle in the program who weren't working or involved in anything. It's so individual.
The year after I was initiated, our President was also President of Student Govt and had a 4.0 for her whole college career. She had a double major too, so it's not like she took blow off classes. She was just that good. I had a roommate who had a 4.0 without doing anything but going to classes and reading the text book because she had a photographic memory.
Point is, you can't say that "nobody" can do it, because some people can do anything they put their mind to.
