Yes, but that's an evaluation you should make BEFORE initiation. If you have a very time-consuming major or need to work multiple jobs to afford college, you should ask the Greek life advisor or women at rush on average how much time a sorority will take. It varies wildly from school to school and sometimes from chapter to chapter, but if it's a concern you can ballpark it.
One of the women we gave an open bid to put off pledging because she was also running for Student Senate. SS would help her greatly in her intended career. She told us that she didn't want to join and then be blowing things off to do SS things. When she was elected to Senate, she let us know and her bid ran out. I have so much respect for her for doing that and being so considerate of our feelings, as well as realistic.
