AngieWashU and I were in the same chapter in college (although I was a year behind her), and I think she stated well that while there is a balance between being an engineer and being a sorority woman, it's more than doable. I was not an engineering major, but there were many other women in our chapter besides Angie who were engineering majors who held larger leadership positions. Our director of new members one year was a civil engineer--she definitely made it work for her; still got good grades while not slacking in her leadership role.
I went to law school with a girl who went to Purdue undergrad and was a chemical engineering major and she was president of her chapter. It can be done.
I think it really depends on what you want to do with your college career. There may not be room for much else besides a sorority and your classes, but that goes for just about every major depending on what type of leadership role you take on (if you even choose to take one on--not taking a leadership role is okay too). You just need to find the right balance for yourself.
