I lived off campus at one point, and it isn't a big deal. I spent most of my day on campus, and if I was going out with sisters or having a late night, I just crashed closer to campus at a sister's dorm.

You feel more connected to your university the closer you live to the school. Ideally, live in the sorority house at some point if you are able. It's a great experience. By living off-campus, you just need to make more of an effort to spend time on-campus. This isn't too hard. When you were in high school, you were on campus all day, and after school for activities, right? The benefits of living on or near campus are being able to run home in the middle of the day to change clothes, take a nap, etc., and they're conveniences, but you can certainly work around them when you have a commute to school.

When you go through recruitment, ask about live-in requirements. Not every sorority chapter has a mandatory live-in requirement, although some do. Some sororities may not even have houses. It just depends.

Good luck with recruitment! Like 33 said, all sororities give their members event calendars, so you know what is happening well in advance. There may be a few last-minute activities, but those are usually things like invitations to go out to dinner or watch a sports event at the school. So you may not be able to be as spontaneous as some people who live closer to school, but you're certainly not precluded from enjoying everything your campus has to offer!
