Being a social Greek is very time-consuming. While your social Greek experience is "what you make of it," remember that you will have a set weekly meeting, required service hours (and an additional weekly meeting during your new member period). There is most likely a semesterly retreat, as well as the "fun stuff" -- social events, university football games, date functions, homecoming, etc. And don't forget that should you chair an event or become an officer in the social Greek org, your time will also go toward that. AND you must balance school work, a job, family, etc. I encourage you to test the waters as a social Greek and maintain your current service/honor Greek obligations, but don't try to take on the world and join a million extracurriculars-- you will be spread very thin if you suddenly decide it is time to run for Student Government or president of the math club! And you won't enjoy the activities as much because you will be running from place to place. Less is more!
