Good luck to you!!

Everyone has given great advice, but I'll chime in. Don't preoccupy yourself with worrying about being "dropped". This time is all about you and what you think works best for you. The way I look at it is your "job" during recruitment is to find out a) if the obligations of Greek Life are of interest to you and something you support b) discover whether you feel comfortable with a chapter and make decisions what your heart tells you and finally c) take this opportunity to get to know all these women that are now your classmates and to get to know your campus.

I'm not questioning your commitment to be Greek but I've seen too many chapters that have issues filling their house because too many women pledged thinking it was "cool" but didn't understand the financial or academic obligations and then deactivated. It should be your Panhellenic and the chapter's responsibilities to educate you and your fellow new members on Greek Life but don't be afraid to ask questions either! (I'm not bashing on greek life at all but I worry that sometimes it becomes a numbers game and we don't live in a perfect world either)

Your college experience will be what you make of it if you are Greek and the same holds true for students that are not. (Now this is the Student Affairs person in me talking!! )
