That's not the same, though. The difference is that your PROMISE to support the organization, and we all have bare minimums. There are required events, like chapter, a few philanthropy events a semester, maybe a couple of sisterhood events. I think fraternities have even less. The "fun" stuff is optional. You'll feel more comfortable and included the more you're around your brothers/sisters, but you aren't required to go to EVERY event that your organization hosts. It's not that hard to balance priorities. My boyfriend is extremely important to me. He's a priority to me. But I made promises to Alpha Gam, so if he wants to go on a date night on a Sunday night, that's too bad. I have chapter. It only lasts an hour, it's not a big deal. Fortunately he's in a fraternity so he understands. When he is off helping work on the house for instance, I don't ask him to come take me out. And when I need to go to a required sorority event, he doesn't ask me to. There's a way to balance priorities. It's mostly about time management.
