congrats on your bid!!! i was a lil worried at first during my pledge semester that my grades would slip, but we had mandatory study hall hours in the library (we had to sign in and everything) as pledges. it was actually good for me because it gave me time to get work done that i needed to do. you might also find out that one of the older sisters has taken a class that you are taking and can help you out so you can maintain the gpa that you need! grades were very important in chi omega (as im sure they are in all greek orgs) and they totally understood if you had to miss a mixer or something that wasnt mandatory because you had a paper or had to study. scholarship (studies) should always come before social obligations. theyll probably be happy that you have the mindset that you are there for learning first then social stuff. im sure youll be fine but definetely try it out and see what happens. if it doenst work out for you you can always drop before initiation! but definetely give it a shot and communicate with your big (when you get one) and your new member educator about your concerns. good luck!!
