Like EE-BO said, I think there used to be a lot of sorority and fraternity chapters that would let a member get away with blowing off a lot more things if they were an athlete - because of the prestige. Clarion was D1 in swimming/diving when I attended and the top diver joined a sorority. The only time I EVER saw her doing things at them was...Greek Week, during Greek Swim. But they got to say "Donna Smith is an ABC" at rush.

I think that nowadays, far fewer Greek groups put up with that kind of thing. As it should be, IMO. I've never believed in giving someone a "pass" because they're an athlete or student senate prez or a pageant winner. One of the girls we open bid decided not to pledge us because she was elected to Student Senate (she eventually became President) and knew she wouldn't have the proper amount of time to give us. I really, really respect her for that.

So...if you can handle both to your satisfaction and that of your team and GLO, fine. But don't try to half-ass it.
