We've talked about them before, but CNN had a nice article about sororities for moms. Apparently they're the hot new thing.

Quote:
Magic Markers, bubble wands and jungle-animal stickers aren't often found in the average college student's backpack.
For the women of Mu Tau Rho, a new sorority for student-mothers at the University of Missouri-St. Louis, those toys are every bit as vital as laptop computers and e-mail accounts.
"I wanted to be in a sorority so bad," said Danielle Cooney, a 22-year-old sophomore math major. "Then I had my son. I didn't have a baby sitter to do all that."
...
Mu Tau Rho stands for "Mothers Together in Parenting," members said. The uppercase Greek letter "rho" is identical to the English capital "P."

One of the few sororities aside from Mu Tau Rho catering to student mothers is Mu Omicron Mu (whose initials spell "MOM") at Northern Illinois University in DeKalb.

Perhaps it's a sign I've been on GC too long but the misuse of the Rho bothers me more than anything...
