Yes, I realize I may just be a naive freshman, but it made me somewhat nervous.

I just meant that for some people, even the hardest majors come easy. For others, it's a struggle that takes up all their free time. I was pre-med for my first two years of college (throughout rush, new member period, and being an officer in a colony), which meant I took four courses PLUS two labs each semester. I was busy, busy, busy, but it was a good thing I had sorority activities to go to, because I would have gone NUTS otherwise. I was so tired of conversations involving chemical formulas, the anatomy of a cat, and the human circulatory system. I suspect you will need something to take your mind off of engineering every once in a while, so a sorority would be good for that. It is my belief that college is NOT just about academics.
(and for the record, I dropped pre-med at the end of my soph. year, but it wasn't because I couldn't cut it...it was because the other experiences I had had at college by that point, and the friends I had in other majors, made me realize that I was not meant to be a doctor after all)
