I went to a school where students were mostly commuter. So this sort of situation didn't matter much.

In terms of being at a more residential school, I think it CAN work as long as you are aware of your expectations in terms of being available and being on-campus (and know that you will be held to the same participation standards as those girls who reside on-campus). So, for example, missing meeting because "I didn't want to waste gas" or something like that, isn't going to cut it.

Also, it's important to note that even when there is NOT a required event, sisters will likely hang out together on-campus and such. I've seen it happen where members say "I feel left out because I commute" when they really only come to campus for required things like meetings. Not saying that members who commute need to be on campus every minute of the day, but make it a point to hang out on campus with girls, eat meals at the house (if the chapter is housed), etc.
