When you go through recruitment, the time committment will be discussed. By going through recruitment, you haven't committed yourself to anything. It's an opportunity to see if this would be something you would want to do.
Sororities are committed to making sure their members do well in school and get involved with non-sorority activities. It makes them look better to have members with top GPAs and campus achievements, so while sorority membership is a time committment, it's not going to prevent you from doing well in school, going home to see your family, make non-sorority friends or get involved with non-Greek organizations.
Hope this helps! Give it a try-- if it isn't something you can see yourself doing once you have all of the facts or experience of it, you aren't bound to it.
ETA: If this helps, I worked my way through college to pay for school, had a 3.5 GPA and was involved in other activities, internships, etc., outside of the sorority. I also held a few leadership positions in the sorority and lived in the house at one point, as well. There are a ton of "extras" as a member-- things you can do that are not mandatory to retaining membership like the social mixers, intramural sports games, parties, optional community service projects, etc.-- you go to a few of these, of course, but not every single one. I had to pick and choose, and it was fine.
