My MFA program was INTENSE!!! But I made time to found a chapter of Beta Sigma Phi. It is all about how you choose to use your free time...no matter how limited or nearly impossible free time might be. My chapter met for about two hours twice per month. Every person, no matter the program or profession, should make at least that much time for herself or himself. I am in a Ph.D. program full time now (totally different field than my MFA), and I'm teaching three college level courses. I still make time for things that I enjoy, including holding an office in Beta Sigma Phi and serving on Section Staff for APO. If a grad student wants to find time for Greek life, it is possible. Just don't expect to have much time left for things like eating, sleeping, or hanging out on GreekChat
