While I believe that if someone is organized enough they can properly balance their commitment, NOT everyone can do it. There are always a few of them in a chapter- they might be great girls (or guys), but they really and truly can't balance their time enough to be much of a contributing member of their GLO, and end up being more of a headache than anything else. (Funny thing is, they seem to make it to quite a few of the social events......)

Greek life isn't for everyone. Some people really can't balance their time efficiently enough. They're not bad people or anything silly like that, they just can't devote enough time to it. If you have 3 demanding majors, have to work 30 hours a week, have to take care of your younger siblings several nights, etc. etc. then you probably shoudn't join ANYTHING, let alone a GLO.

But to make a blanket statement to an entire portion of a school is wrong. Each individual and each individual's situation is different. Some can handle it, some can't.
