Agreed.
In addition, it's up to you to prioritize what's important to you. I know people who chose other organizations over joining a sorority (had to choose due to conflicting meeting times), and some regret it while others don't. It depends on what is important to you, and what you are willing to make work. It is often said that membership is for a lifetime- and it is. But you do have to get through undergrad first before you can enjoy the rest of your lifetime as an alumna.
If every freshman with a boyfriend, a part time job, and other extracurriculars automatically ruled out joining a sorority it'd be a very small system. I had all three when I joined and I made it work. Many others here have as well. But... we made it a priority and found a way to keep all aspects in balance.
If you think you can make it work, sign up for recruitment and find out. You'll get dues information and learn about all the organizations on your campus, and you can decide whether it's right for you.
