Economic times have changed. Back in the day few(er) sorority members had jobs and often it was because they simply wanted extra spending money. Parents typically paid for tuition, living expenses, sorority dues, etc. Therefore work was not considered a viable excuse to miss a mandatory chapter function.
However every year now we see more and more members attending school on scholarships, loans, grants, paying for it themselves, etc. Many members work because they have no other choice to pay their bills including chapter dues. We've realized that punishing with fines or some other way for missing a mandatory event due to work is counterproductive.It often leaves that member no choice but to turn in her pin. (We do expect them to prove they've made every effort to try to accomodate the sorority schedule.)
But that's not what the OP wants to know. She's interested in how missing parties due to work may affect her chances. There is no way we can know. It's up to each chapter.
