I have to disagree w/ our happykappa. Personally, I'd rather know during rush if meeting time was a potential conflict for our potentials. But I think you would have to bring it up very carefully. You definitely don't want to sound like your already in.
I think if you said something along the lines of "I am very involved and committed at my church as a youth leader on Sunday nights. Do you have many events on Sunday night that members need to attend?" This would let them know that ++you're a well rounded active person++, and ++that you also want to be able to give your all to the chapter++ You could also say straight up. "I have many activities that I'm involved in and don't want to be just a name on a member list. How much notice do you (the members) get before an event so you can arrange your schedules accordingly?" I'm sure you could come up w/ something good to say.
As far as meetings at my school. Every chapter has them Mondays from 7pm-9pm. That only changes if Monday is some holiday. Every member accepts this and plans her classes accordingly. In my chapter,only seniors who have a required class for graduation at that time are excused from meetings. And you have to get approved the quarter before by our advisors. This happened to me and it was so depressing. I rarely got to see anyone in the chapter. It seemed no matter what event we were planning I had some conflict! Completely sucked.
