It depends on what you want to do... student government can be an amazing experience (and that includes MSU or your faculty society). And as I'm sure you've heard, there's hundreds of clubs on campus.
In terms of how much time you will have, that's completely up to you. Some people somehow seem to be able to skip classes and seem like they do no work and still get awesome grades, while others can work their asses off and still have a hard time.
It also depends on how much time you want to spend on other things, such as social life, possibly a job, etc.
I'd start with one thing, especially if it's relatively large such as student government, and go from there. There's plenty of time to join groups and clubs, since they're pretty much always looking for new members.
