I think it depends on a lot of factors: the school, the chapter, the individual and the sport. I know I've said this in another thread, but the husband sucessfully managed athletics, fraternity and academics at his DIII engineering college. I asked him once and he said about 1/4-1/3 of the guys when he was in the house were involved with a sport, with other chapters on campus having about the same ratio.
At one point when I was an undergrad, we had half the tennis team in our chapter. They were excused from mandatory events when they were out of town competing and were given some leeway for practices, but otherwise they were expected to attend all other events just like other members. Many of those women also held an office while they were competing (I believe one was even President) and maintained excellent grades. That worked for them, but may not for someone else.
I think a coach is completely within his or her rights to discourage or even deny membership in a GLO for a collegiate athlete, especially if that person is attending on an athletic scholarship.
