Point taken, (though the idea of someone joining my sorority for its parties is moot where I am). I agree that MysticCat is right to say that groups should be upfront with time expectations, what I was saying is that given a good NM Educator and great girls, you DON'T need huge expectations to get great ties. And if it's not neccessary - why have strict expectations?
I should note that we did have required** (if at all possible) meetings to attend - but as in the quote given by 33girl, it was only one night a week.

I think my NM Educator put it really well to us. We were choosing to join Kappa, and thus we were choosing the commitment that comes with it. Part of that commitment is coming to events and meeting whenever it was earthly possible. It was clear that we were choosing to being Kappa, we were choosing support and promote Kappa. If we weren't interested in that portion of the sisterhood, we needed to reconsider whether it was right for us.
But, ugh, she put it much nicer.
