I mean, I can see the benefit of both because let's be honest. LOTS of chapters, especially in very traditional greek systems are NOT going to even consider a woman who is married or has a baby regradless of her age, grades, leadership skills or whatever she has to offer. I am not saying either is wrong or anything, I'm just saying I can see it. If they are happy and they like it, good for them.
Sisterhood, ritual, a sense of belonging, standards to live up to, personal growth and development, academic success, social net working, career netwoking, and leadership opportunity........all sound like things moms could benefit from too. That's why women join sororities, I think.

I agree.
And making their own group will solve a lot of the inherent problems - i.e. they can bring the kiddos to meetings, can bypass mixers with fraternities, etc.
I see no reason to begrudge them this.
