depending on your school and chapter, pledging a sorority may not be a big time commitment AT ALL. i spent about 2 hrs a week (total) attending pledge meetings and chapter. pledges were invited to all the mixers and service events, but attendance was optional. the only big chunks of time that were required were bid night (when there was a sleepover) and initiation day (which can go all afternoon).
this is a different story from what my male friends went through pledging fraternities. they were essentially "on-call" 24-7, and practically every evening they had study hours or various hazing activities. their grades tended to drop a lot during their pledge semester because they really had practically no free time. these guys might want to keep their work-study jobs during pledgeship just so they have an excuse not to be at the house.
about scheduling all your classes for tues/thurs... i would think it would be a real pain to have class for five hours straight, but maybe it's ideal for you. what if you have three tests one tuesday? or two papers due on the same day? it's really easy to get lazy when you have four days off in a row, so be careful that you're actually studying on mon/wed/fri, not just sleeping in and watching daytime tv.
