Can you become a Catholic priest without permanently joining an organization?

It seems that in order to become a Catholic priest you have to either already be part of a religious order or commit to serving a certain bishop. Can anyone become a priest without a lifelong commitment of this sort? I know that diocesan priests can join religious orders, but I assume they wouldn't want you to intentionally do that.
