You're getting too far ahead of yourself. Your chapter may not even have meetings on weekends, and if they do, it's probably Sunday evening, not Saturday afternoon or anything.

Go to the rush events, ask questions about scheduling if that's important to you, and be open to the answers. Sororities don't expect or even want their members to have their entire lives revolve around the sorority. But there is an expectation that through college your sorority is a BIG part of your life. If it's something that you think you will participate in once a week, you probably aren't meant to join. You can realistically expect 2 or 3 times per week EVERY week to have something to do with your sisters. Some things will be optional, some things will be required but you can get out of if your excuse is important enough and some will mean your badge.

Different chapters have different requirements where it applies to socials/mixers/exchanges (whatever your campus calls official parties with fraternities), date parties, and sisterhood events. But meetings, rush prep and rush are pretty much deal breakers unless you have a VERY good reason. Class would be a good reason. You're in the hospital is a good reason. I have an out of town social life is not a good reason.
