I think a lot of it depends on the school and the chapter. I definitely have sisters that survive hard class schedules, work, hold offices...and still make a 4.0 every semester.
Keep in mind that you'll probably know your sorority's schedule pretty well in advance. That may make things easier.
Also, I know in our chapter, unavoidable work conflicts are considered excused absences for mandatory events. If it becomes a constant problem, it gets to be an issue, but our chapter tries to give a bit of slack on that front.
I'd say to go to recruitment and ask questions. I wouldn't make a huge deal about it- that could hurt you- but I would ask. Go with your gut instinct once you have more information.
