There are several NPC groups that have this requirement (I thought A Xi D was one of them, actually). I think it's a superb idea. It's not "controlling outside activities" any more than requiring a certain GPA is "controlling." The point is that the members should be well rounded and have other interests besides the sorority. It doesn't matter what, as long as they're in something. Too many women do nothing but their sorority and it's really detrimental at rush time.

You would hope that you are taking members who will be active in other things, and I think that is the more common scenario, but some people are lazy.

Oh, and to comment on the post below, for crying out loud, don't all 4 of you get an apartment together. You will kill each other in a very short amount of time. If one person has a place they are willing to have be the "home base" that's one thing.

Agreed. And last I checked, AXiD does have the requirement of belonging to an outside organization.
