When girls going through rush at my school ask about the commitment level I tell them that sorority life is whatever you make of it. You can be involved as much as you can handle. Some girls in my sorority have heavy time commitments with athletics and can only attend chapter and the other mandatory events while pi phi is top priority on other girls lists. We do not punish or love the girls less who have other commitments.
More than likely the sororities will encourage you to get involved with other things and hang out with non-greek people. Besides being involved in my sorority I am also on the school dance team, on student government and I have been able to maintain a 3.8 gpa in a highly demanding major (Chemical Engineering). I have lots of friends that are not greek and my bf is also non greek. I love my non greek friends. And my sisters respect that.
I know that rush is very stressful but don't worry. Go through recruitment and if you find a group of girls that you get along with I'm sure that they will love and respect you no matter what else you decide to do with your time at school.
