If a PNM has to miss parties due to class, odds are some actives will too. One would hope chapters would be understanding, but there are no guarantees. It depends on the campus and on the particular chapter. As others have said, talk to the Greek Life office and to the Recruitment Counselor before making a decision.
Asking a professor and/or TA for permission to miss class for Recruitment is a crap shoot. Those who are pro-Greek will be understanding, even if they end up saying "No". Those who are anti-Greek will not only say "No" but might also hold it against you for daring to ask. "Obviously you are only interested in partying and not getting an education. You are wasting my valuable teaching time even taking my class." (I've heard some nasty stories over the years.)
