Realistic number of sports + societies one could do at university

What would you say is a realistic number of sports + societies someone could do at university, while still maintaining a decent social life with their halls of residence and doing well in their work?

I suppose it depends how long you spend on each activity and what level you want to reach. Let's assume the average activity takes up 2 - 4 hours per week and you want to reach a pretty good level, and maintain that level. Would 7 sports, 7 societies be too much? More? Less? Not sure.

Surely it depends on how active each sport/society is? A lot of the societies I've joined only have an activity/event every other week so that people can join and get involved with a variety of societies/clubs.
