Let me expand on that a little. I pointed out those factors because there are a very limited "alignment of the stars" where I think a mother would be able to feasibly join a social sorority.
I'll assume, perhaps incorrectly, for the sake of argument, that the poster is interested in NPC membership.
If she were going to a commuter school with lots of non-traditional students, not working (or working less than 20 hours a week), which presumes she is married to someone who is providing, or living with family who is providing, has significant help in caring for her children, then MAYBE.
If she is going to a big flagship state school, working more than 20 hours a week, and not getting any help with caring for her children, it's not going to happen.
NPC sororities require potential members to be full time students, so if she's not a full time student, she won't even be eligible.
The makeup of the campus (ie how many non-traditional students) will determine how realistic it would be for her to be considered. She would not have a shot at a campus that caters to traditional students.
I just don't see how anyone could possibly manage class + homework + studying + work + sorority obligations + kids + household chores. Oh yeah, and at least 4 hours of sleep per night would be good.
