Thanks for both answers!
Just to clarify my statement, I take sorority meetings (mandatory or not) for important and I definitely will attend most of them. Otherwise it would not make sense to join a sorority.
I know that being in a sorority is something for life and not just a hobby, but I guess everyone would agree that I had or have a life before I will maybe join a sorority.
As I understood it, the sororities also want their sister to be involved in other clubs, activities and so on.
What I want to say, of course it would mean to me so much being in a sorority, but I will not abandon the friends I already have.
Of course I would try to schedule my appointments in a way which would allow me to get both, meetings with the sorority and seeing my friends in other cities. But I don't have a car, so I need to rely on public transportations and I'm not the one who is doing the bus/train schedule.
And again, it's not like, I will prefer my old friends over new friends in the sorority. But I don't think it is too much to ask for, to see my friends once or twice in a semester...
But when I understood you right, it would not offend them, when I ask in general how much time I should expect being with the sorority?
