How much time it requires varies greatly by chapter, college and the individual. For some commuter campuses, it is simply an hour long meeting a week, plus a few philanthropies a semester, with maybe two socials and two sisterhoods a semester. If you held an exec office like Treasurer, then it's like having an additional class. The week of Recruitment and Initiation take up a lot more time, possibly 8-10 hours a week. Are there women who spend more time than that on their sorority? Absolutely. But, to do the "minimum" doesn't have to be that time consuming.
For those who say that a woman shouldn't have a babysitter while they go do something social... Does that include all the married people who hire a babysitter to go to dinner and a movie? To bowl on their bowling league? Who utilize the babysitting services at the gym to work out? Let's be real here. Parents don't stop having social lives when they have kids. I have friends who left their kids with grandparents while they went on a vacation with their husband to Hawaii or on cruises, and the kids are not damaged by it.
