Is that wise? After all, college students will change majors, roommates, dormitories for various reasons. But Greek Letter Organizations are asking for a commitment that will last longer than the future marriages of these students.

I don't think it's a big problem. After all, most NPC sororities don't vary TOO radically from one another when it all comes down to it, especially on a national level (and when you're out of school, the lifetime committment is really played out in a lot of ways on the national level).
Of course there's a special spot in my heart for everything AXO, from the symphony to the philanthropy and I couldn't imagine myself anywhere else. That said, a lifetime committment to Alpha Phi, Theta, Phi Mu, KKG, or whatever other NPC sorority would have it's own beautiful symphony/motto/creed, great philanthropy, network of wonderful women, etc. After all, it's not like a sorority woman would be like "Oh, the Breast Cancer philanthropy is awesome, but Children's Miracle Network totally sucks, I'd never want to be a part of a sorority with THAT philanthropy..."
If I rushed at a campus that didn't have AXO and I joined, say, AOII, I'd probably be just as happy and in love with AOII as I am with AXO. To use your example, husbands vary radically from one person to the next, but at the heart of it, NPC sororities are really all about the same thing.
