You can do what you want, but it will very likely hurt you greatly.

Excused events vary from chapter to chapter and sorority to sorority. When I was a collegiate, there were a few mandatory events such as ritual and business meetings that would not be excused for work but the greatest majority (probably 90%) could be excused and made up for with participation in other events. This will be something you should ask each chapter and consider when making your decision to join.
