I'm thinking perhaps I'll copy the emails from the National office of one of the sorors that I have been chatting with here hehe. . actually I won't (wouldn't -- not very polite) -- but I was told directly that if I were NOT in school (ie not opted to return to finish) that I *would* be eligible for their AI program. It's the fact that I've gone back *boggles* I guess I don't really understand the premise. If I've been told incorrectly (and I will NOT name organizations here -- you are free to ask me privately though) I would love clarification.
*sighs*
Maybe I'll just wait until grad school. It's just frustrating at this point.

I am so sorry you are having such a negative experience. I would have thought as you thought, that if you are working on an undergraduate degree you would be eligible to rush regardless of marital status. I didn't realize that was a variable. And I would almost think that being married would speak positively of your ability to commit and work for the common good. But then again, as a person considering AI, there is a lot I do not know about the internal workings of sororities. If I were you, I would tend to take what the Greek Life office had to say with a grain of salt. Maybe if you did go through rush, by whatever name it is called, you would be able to convince others by your actions, which are the best testaments to character.
I hope you are not too discouraged. If being a member of a sorority is important to you in your life, do not give up too easily. If there is anything I have learned from reading the postings here it is that patience is a most valuable virtue.
