I appreciate the great feedback to my post. To all of you Greeks out there, I say this-- you know when chapter meeting is, and you know you need to prioritize around chapter. There ARE six other days (earlier in the day you have chapter) to study and get your schoolwork done (so you don't have to go to EVERY social!). Sometimes, however, a study group can only meet when you have chapter, or something important comes up, or an emergency meeting with a faculty member, etc. Your sorority should be understanding of this if you give them due notice. No one is trying to be an ogre by taking your life outside of the sorority away and the scholarship chair your chapter appoints should be aggressive enough to point this out so each member can succeed in school. Your bylaws locally are updated yearly--- make sure you have input! You are a dues-paying member, after all, and you have the right to petition for a certain number of meetings you may miss per semester due to dire school situations.
Per time committment... when I was a PM, I was taking one class over the maximum, working two jobs and I was VP of another campus org-- great time to join! I always joke that my time-management skills really developed in undergrad. I am sympathetic to all of you who have busy lives and still find time to make great grades and be a valued member of your GLO.
Only a few more days until recruitment....
