Military
I recognize that class commitments and religious reasons are legitimate excuses for missing an initiation but, I'd also like to point out certain military events are, as well.
While I was in college, I was really concerned that I'd miss initiation because I had to drive 4 hours (one way) to my military base for drill. Getting out of drill for ANYTHING short of someone dying was like pulling teeth and it never happened for us. I'm not saying the OP is in the military but, I wanted to make sure for any pnm reading this that sometimes military service takes priority over initiation IF (and only if) you are unable to get out of drill that weekend. Unless your Commander is Greek (which mine wasn't)-you may have a hard time getting out of it. Even if your Commander is Greek, he or she may still have a problem with you not making it to drill.
Thankfully, I didn't have to worry about it because they scheduled our initiation on a weekend I didn't have drill but, my unit used to go as far as scheduling two drills a month for "special" trainings.
I just want everyone to be aware that there may also be another legitimate reason, should they chose to bid someone with military commitments.
