Depends on the school, for sure. One of mine was accepted into the most advanced honors program at her university; only 16 freshman were accepted into that level. She and another girl from it rushed and said that almost every rusher they had said, "Wow, you're Bell Honors. Do you think you'll be able to handle the load of that plus sorority?"
So at the time, they said, "Oh, sure!" because they were used to handling heavy academic/extracurricular loads in high school. Looking back after college, they said that maybe those sorority members knew what they were talking about because it was incredibly hard to handle the depth, difficulty, and extra meetings of their program in addition to sorority life. I do feel, though, that they're better time managers now as adults because of what they managed to do back then; both were sorority officers plus graduated from their program cum laude.
