Greek Life

I recently got accepted into the University of Alabama for fall 2017 as an electrical engineering major. I would really like to rush a sorority but my parents say I shouldn’t until sophomore year because they think my GPA will suffer and I need to adjust to the whole college life first. How much of a time commitment are UA’s sororities? Do they take up so much time that it would be too difficult to keep up with my difficult engineering classes as well? I am just afraid that at a Greek-centered school like Bama, I will be an outsider if I don’t pledge. Also, how common is it for sophomores to rush? Thank you in advance!
