For a mother to be a collegiate sorority member, she has to have a lot of support to make it possible. Money is usually an issue since the average parent would rather their child have something rather than themselves. Time is also a problem since most will have to work to support their families. If you have money and time left after being a good parent and supporting yourself and your own, join a sorority. If you can't do all of this, don't expect someone else to pick up the slack for you. Your sisters aren't there to be your babysitters or to help raise your children. It also is not fair to your chapter to use your situation as an excuse not to participate. I have no problem with women making this choice...I'm sure it will enrich their lives, but they have made choices that make the decision to join a sorority more complicated and difficult.
