No need to attend every single mixer or event.

Actually sororities have strict rules about this. I may vary from sorority to sorority, but when I was in, participation in all events was expected. I think there was maybe 1 event per month you could miss…or season, or something like that. There was a designated number though.

Wow. That's nuts. Ours wasn't like that at all.

1. The time requirement of being in a sorority varies greatly depending on the school. For colleges in the NE, it's much more low-key than a place like Alabama.

2. What you're really asking is whether students with a heavy workload can be in sororities. Engineering majors are hardly unique in workload. And the answer is obviously yes, assuming your kid has decent time management skills. My sorority (at an Ivy) had loads of premed students and engineers. And others of us worked just as hard in different majors. But again, we were at a NE school where Greek life was fairly relaxed.
